Is there such a thing as a scarless (or not widening) corner lip lift? (Photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

What you need is a lip lift where tissue is taken out laterally not centrally. The trouble with a central lip lift is that it only pulls up the center and the corners will appear downturned. You will need this revision.

I did two of these yesterday! There is always a scar with any surgery. However, we should truly be able to make a scar that is very hard to see and gives you the improvement you want. I did three ellacors yesterday (what a perfect day for your question). We can lift the corners of the lip somewhat with it, but it won't be as much as you are indicating there.
