I'm a young man - Am I a good lip lift candidate? (photos)

mking91Feb 18, 2022

Most incisions are placed just beneath the nostrils to hide their appearance. The base of the nose is made of cartilage so any incision below will not change their appearance or shape. The incision can also be resurfaced with a CO2 laser to further hid it.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
