Best Lip Lift Procedure to Reduce Area from Nose to Lip?

Thank you for your question. The Lip Lift procedure is
performed to accentuate the size and/or shape of the upper lip by removing skin
from the region underneath the nose. As the distance is decreased between the
nose and the lip, the red lip is 'lifted'. In appropriate individuals,
shortening this distance may impart or restore a more favorable balance to lips
and face. Popular options include incision placement underneath the nose (sub-nasal
lip lift), or within the nostril (endonasal lip lift, Italian lip lift), just
above the vermilion border. Speak with your surgeon about your goals and his or
her recommendation about how to best accomplish those.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.  Lip lifts can be an extremely rewarding procedure that can increase the fullness of the upper lip, give you a little more lip show.  The amount of lift does depend on the starting length of the upper lip skin and the desired look afterwards.  The incision is hidden at the border of the upper lip skin and base of the nose and spans the width of the nose.  I perform these procedures under local anesthesia, but it can also be done with sedation or general anesthesia.  Good luck.

Our office specializes in many different types of lip lift procedures to improve lip dimensions and aesthetics. A lip lift can be performed inside the mucosa of the lip or below the nose. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
