Lip Lift Techniques
Gull-Wing Lip Lift
This technique improves the vermilion line by carefully removing skin and reshaping the lips to enhance the Cupid's bow definition. The procedure focuses on strengthening the depth and visual appeal of the lip line.
Sub-Nasal Lip Lift
During this method, a small section of skin beneath the nose is detached, lifted, and repositioned. This technique increases lip volume, emphasizes the Cupid's bow, and creates a more pronounced lip contour.
Procedure Expectations
Lip lift surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. The procedure duration ranges from a few minutes to two hours, depending on individual facial anatomy. Patients can expect slight swelling and bruising during the initial two-week healing period.
Candidate Considerations
Ideal candidates include individuals seeking to address a low-hanging upper lip, enhance lip volume, or improve overall facial symmetry. A personalized consultation will determine the most appropriate lip lift technique for specific aesthetic goals.
Complementary Procedures
Lip lifts can be combined with dermal fillers or other facial aesthetic procedures to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers a range of complementary treatments to enhance surgical outcomes.
