One Year After a Mid-face Lift, Upper Lip Too Tight So Strange Smile. Can It Be Fixed?

Mid-face lift, fat moved up, left cheeks rounder than when young. Face is too round for me. More bothersome is my upper lip was made much too tight so when I smile it flattens against my gums, pulls at my nostrils, and creates a pronounced ridge under my nose all across the upper lip. The weird stretching sitting in my too round face looks funny. I'm upset about it because I was more than happy with my pretty smile before the surgery. Can the lip be fixed so that it isn't so tight?

A: Midface lift

Many aspects of a mid-face lift can be corrected. Exactly what you need can be complex decision.  You can only plan surgery based on an in-person exam.  Also, reading the operative report is crucial.  Was it truly a subperiosteal lift?  Was endotine used and could it be in the wrong position?  Were parts of the facial nerve controlling the lip affected?  Is there just too much swelling and more time is needed?  Bottom line, however, is that most concerns after a midface lift can be addressed by a Facial Plastic surgeon who is familiar with the procedure.

Good luck.

Gummy smiles can be treated with Botox or Dysport.  Fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Perlane can help as well.

How Long Must I Wait to Get Lip Fillers After Permanent Lip Liner?

I received permanent lip liner to correct a loss of pigmentation on my upper lip. I am interested in receiving lip fillers to add on to my "new" lips. How long should I wait before getting the injections?

A: Filler and Permanent Makeup

We recommend that patients wait until the lips are healed, peeled and the swelling has dissipated before having any fillers added, which usually takes 7-10 days but may be up to 2 weeks.  Permanent makeup and fillers are an excellent combination for beautiful, well defined, youthful looking lips.
