Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

As individuals age, lips naturally lose volume and shape, causing aesthetic concerns about facial appearance. A lip lift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore lip proportions, enhance facial symmetry, and rejuvenate one's overall facial aesthetic.

What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that permanently transforms the shape and appearance of the upper or lower lips. By making precise incisions, surgeons can trim excess skin tissues, minimize sagging, and create more defined lip contours.

Benefits of a Lip Lift

• Achieve fuller, more defined lips
• Lift mouth corners to prevent constant frowning
• Improve overall lip shape and proportion
• Reveal more teeth while smiling
• Reduce upper lip lines
• Provide permanent aesthetic enhancement
• Minimize visible surgical marks

Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift

Lip lift procedures are particularly suitable for individuals experiencing age-related lip volume loss or those seeking a permanent alternative to temporary lip fillers. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic aesthetic expectations.

Lip Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Christopher Chang performs lip lift procedures under local anesthesia in his Chevy Chase, MD office. The surgical approach involves carefully removing a small piece of skin, typically beneath the nose, to reshape and elevate the lips while maintaining natural facial proportions.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-procedure, patients may experience temporary swelling and tightness. Complete recovery typically occurs within four weeks. Dr. Chang provides comprehensive post-surgical guidelines to ensure optimal healing and minimal complications.
