I have Class 1 bimaxillary protrusion malocclusion. After the orthodontic trement, my upper lip droop and the width of my mouth became smaller. Can a facelift increase the width of my mouth and lift up the upper lip too ? I am 55 years of age. My skin sag very badly.

Answer: Face Lift Thank you for your question. A facelift is performed to loose and aging skin on the facial areas and neck. It doesn't affect the lips. There are other procedures for the lips such as fat grafting and injectable fillers. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Mouth problems and a facelift While a facelift is not designed to improve the appearance of the mouth, there are certain techniques that can help lift the corner of the mouth. Other techniques can be used to lift the central portion of the upper lip. A customized treatment plan would be created for your particular anatomy. See someone with extensive experience as this concern is not a common one.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa
