Lip Lift New York by Dr. Steven Pearlman
Lip Lift in New York, NY
Restoring Youthful Lip Contours
Dr. Pearlman's lip lift procedure is a custom cosmetic surgery designed to shorten and lift the upper lip, creating a more aesthetically pleasing shape without an artificial appearance.
Understanding Lip Aging
As we age, lips naturally flatten, lengthen, and lose definition. Mature patients often seek a lip lift to restore a more youthful shape and fullness to their lips.
Lip Lift Procedure Benefits
- Lift and reshape the upper lip
- Restore the classic "Cupid's bow" shape
- Reduce the distance between nose and lip
- Create a fuller, more defined upper lip
Surgical Technique
The bullhorn lip lift technique involves removing a carefully shaped piece of skin beneath the nose. This method shortens the lip's vertical length and turns the upper lip outward, revealing more of the pink lip structure.
Consultation Process
During your initial consultation, Dr. Pearlman will examine your lips and work collaboratively to establish personalized goals. He focuses on creating a harmonious, natural-looking result that complements your facial features.
Procedure Details
Performed under local anesthesia, the lip lift procedure takes approximately one hour. Dr. Pearlman removes a small amount of skin, then closes the incision in layers to minimize scarring. Stitches are typically removed within one week.
Candidacy and Expectations
Ideal candidates experience upper lip lengthening with age, desire a more youthful lip appearance, or seek an alternative to repeated lip fillers. Most patients see long-lasting results with minimal maintenance.
Recovery Insights
Patients can expect mild discomfort for the first 72 hours, manageable with oral pain medication. Most return to work within three days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks.
