Lip Lift Before & After Case 1230

This 61 year old requested a lip lift to help rejuvenate her peri oral area. She said her lip has progressively lengthened as she has gotten older, making her look older than she feels. Looking in a mirror, Dr. Parker had the patient lift her lip to the desired height and measured the precise amount of skin to be removed to raise the lip to the desired position. Under local anesthesia, Dr. Parker excised the marked “bull horn” shaped segment of skin and subcutaneous tissue for removal. This included not only the central lip but also lifting the oral commissure on either side. He then carefully closed the incision with multiple layers of sutures to make the scar inconspicuous. The patient healed quickly and is very pleased with the results of her surgery.
