Should I get a lip lift, or is there a noninvasive alternative? (Photo)

SandyHartbernSep 6, 2023
I'm 44. About 2 years ago, I had a mid facelift, endoscopic brow lift and upper and lower bleph. I was wondering if RF, Morpheus 8 or FaceTite or another non-invasive would do the trick or should I get a lip lift to shorten the sagging upper lip. I also want to lift the lower face, due to the laxity. Thanks

Great question. A quality lip lift is done by supporting the lip with deep sutures, which provide majority of the support during the first couple of months. These will hold against everyday forces of movements, but not excessive ones. Kissing (passionately) creates movement in the area of...

From the pictures I see, and your self described philanturm that is 15mm, I would say that you can be a good candidate for a Lip Lift. This procedure will also help show more incisors when smiling but will also give the upper lip more of a tilt which will help the lip appear more full.

Your request is an interesting one, I believe you have a nicely shaped Cupid's bow that does not necessarily need reshaping, however, it could be that you want more rounding of the red part of the lip and this would bring more balance and create a lip shape similar to the one you have sent me....

Hello, hope you are well. The result from your subnasal lip lift is good, but there is room for improvement exactly as you suggest. I would recommend a corner lip lift to address the corners of the mouth. This is a very straightforward procedure that can be done under local anesthesia. In...

You would be an excellent candidate for a 3D upper lip lift (an enhanced version of the traditional lip lift), as well as a medialized corner lip lift (the only procedure capable of lifting the sides of your upper lip).
