Many of our patients express concerns with the signs of normal aging. The good news is that, often, just a small intervention to the lips can make a significant difference in a patient’s appearance and youthfulness! Lip enhancement may be performed nonsurgically or surgically, depending on the patient and their goals.
As a part of the normal aging process, the upper lip increases in length and decreases in volume, leading to an elongated facial appearance. Lip enhancement can help those who have lost lip volume with aging, those with uneven lips that need to be reshaped, or those who simply prefer a larger volume. Often non-surgical treatments with filler injections are optimal for improving lip volume and appearance.
When aging is more advanced or if the upper lip has become elongated, a minor surgery called an upper lip lift may be performed. This restores the upper lip back to its original youthful position and improves volume at the same time, leading to a more “upturned” and full appearance.

Lip enhancement can be performed nonsurgically or surgically, depending on the particular patient and their goals.
Nonsurgical treatments, such as dermal fillers, can be optimal for improving lip plumping, volume, and appearance. However, if aging is more advanced or if the upper lip has become elongated, an upper lip lift is ideal. This procedure will provide a more dramatic improvement in an often overlooked aspect of facial rejuvenation. A lip lift restores the upper lip back to its original, youthful position and simultaneously improves volume.
Most bruises resolve within 10 to 14 days and can be easily covered with makeup. We will provide you with all of the post-care instructions you need to minimize bruising and promote a quick healing process.
Incisions are generally all hidden within the nasal base or the area between your nose and upper lip, which allows for optimal scar camouflage.
