Lip Lift in Bluffton | Aaron Mason, MD

Understanding Lip Lift Procedures

A lip lift is a precise surgical technique designed to address age-related changes in upper lip aesthetics. As individuals age, the upper lip naturally elongates, becomes thinner, and loses its youthful volume, often covering the top teeth completely.

The Aging Lip: Comprehensive Assessment

Traditional volume enhancement methods like dermal fillers are insufficient to address complex lip aging. The procedure involves strategically removing a small skin strip at the nose-lip junction to:

• Shorten the upper lip length
• Restore vermillion (red lip) visibility
• Improve overall lip proportions

Surgical Technique and Approach

Aaron Mason, MD, performs lip lift procedures with meticulous precision. The technique involves removing a precise skin strip in the natural crease where the upper lip meets the nose, effectively "rolling out" the lip and enhancing its aesthetic appearance.

Comprehensive Lip Rejuvenation Options

To achieve optimal results, lip lift procedures can be combined with complementary techniques such as:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers
• Autologous fat injection
• Laser skin resurfacing

Procedure Details

Most lip lift surgeries are relatively short, typically completed in under an hour. Depending on the patient's needs, the procedure can be performed with oral sedation or as part of a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation approach.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal discomfort and quick recovery. Dissolvable sutures are typically removed within a week, and patients can resume wearing makeup shortly after the procedure.
