Lip Lift Pinellas Park, FL | Dr Michael D Mirmanesh MD

Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

Lip lift surgery is a specialized procedure designed to reduce the length of the upper lip and restore a beautiful, balanced smile. Also known as a subnasale lip lift, bullhorn upper lip lift, or subnasale upper lip lift, this technique addresses age-related and congenital lip elongation.

Why Patients Choose a Lip Lift

As individuals age, the distance between the nose's lowest point and the red lip increases. This can create an aging peri-oral region with reduced "tooth show" when smiling or at rest. Some patients are born with an elongated nose-to-lip distance that can be effectively corrected through a lip lift procedure.

Surgical Technique

During the upper lip lift, Dr. Mirmanesh carefully removes excess skin to shorten the vertical length of the upper lip. The incision is strategically placed just below the nose and can be contoured to complement the patient's facial anatomy.

• Customized incision placement for optimal aesthetic results
• Precise skin removal to shorten upper lip length
• Layered suturing technique for structural integrity
• Meticulously aligned skin edges to minimize visible scarring

Additional Lip Enhancement Options

In some cases, Dr. Mirmanesh may recommend a corner lip lift to provide additional balance. Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance lip volume and create a more harmonious result.
