Your facial skin, including the section between the nose and upper lip, is subject to the effects of age. As the skin loosens and stretches, the upper lip drifts lower, and the lips lose volume. An elongated distance between the nostril base and upper lip can make the face appear drawn and older. A lip lift can subtly reduce the distance between the nose and upper lip and restore a lovely fullness to the lips, for a refreshed, rejuvenated look that lasts.
What Is a Lip Lift?
When under the care of Dr. Afrooz, a lip lift is always 100 percent customized for the individual, but generally involves removing a small section of skin and tissue from beneath the nose. As the incision line runs along the base of the nose itself, once healed, the scar is virtually invisible. Called a “modified lip lift,” this approach is the most advanced technique. A lip lift creates a very natural lifted look, correcting a thinner upper lip, whether age-related or an inherited feature.
