Will a lip lift take care of vertical lines above upper lip?

Question

Amy K Hsu, MD, FACS · Answer

Dear pollack~
Thank you for your question.  A lip lift will not improve the vertical lines above your upper lip (except for the portion of the lines that is on the skin that is removed). Vertical lines around the lip are best treated with a combination of Botox, fillers, and laser resurfacing.  
Please see a physician for more personal recommendations.
Best wishes,
Amy Hsu

The lip lift, a delicate procedure that can create a shorter upper lip, does nothing to improve vertical wrinkles.  For that matter, even horizontal wrinkles are not alleviated by the upper lip lift.

Dear pollack,
lip lift will not take care of vertical lines above the upper lip. If you have concerns regarding it, you should visit a plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.

A lip lift procedure does not improve vertical perioral lines.  Perioral lines are best treated with laser resurfacing.
