Would radiofrequency treatments be a viable substitute for lip lift surgery?

maddiedcOct 20, 2022
I've noticed the area between my nose and lips is aging me. A lift lip sounds easy, but at the same time, I've seen quite a few cautionary tales. Would RF or ultherapy, lor similar procedure be a substitute?

The lip lift and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Good Afternoon! That's a difficult situation. A rhinoplasty, if the nose is tenting the upper lip, can help. By shortening the length of the nose, it often relaxes the upper lip and creates more show. Adding volume carefully to the red lip may create more balance. This can be done with fillers...
