Would Fibroblast Plasma Lifts shorten the philtrum/ upper lip and be a replacement for a lip lift?

The plasma, or "J-plasma" technology is not going to get you the same results as a lip lift, not even close. Tightening the skin does not increase the red lip volume or the upper dental show. If you are looking for non surgical techniques for lip augmentation I would recommend botox for a lip flip or filler,  which are both temporary solutions. A lip lift, or Elelyft as we call it in my practice, has a lot more to offer. Gary Linkov, MDLip SpecialistManhattan

jun40The plasma lift you are describing is a conservative form of skin tightening that has no scientific studies proving long-term effectiveness. While it may lift the lip slightly, there is no plumping benefits from this procedure.  Effective and long term proven options include fillers or fat transfer combined with lip lift surgical procedures, if indicated. I recommend that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in our area for a full evaluation. Good luck.
