71, female, can a lip lift get rid of lines around my mouth & can I have Gore-Tex removed at the same time? (Photo)

Hi sandysway. The lip lift is only for the upper lip, so it won't address the gortex in your lower lip - this would have to be on a separate procedure. Also, it will not necessarily help remove the lines around the mouth as the main goal behind this surgery is to decrease the white lip distance (height from nose to red lip), although you may get some improvement of this, especially if you do any concurrent laser. For the lines around the mouth, you will really need very strong skincare (laser/MN), botox, maybe even some filler.

Both lasers and peels give an excellent improvement for deep wrinkles around the lips (perioral rhytids). When wrinkles are deep, often 2 fully ablative laser treatments are needed. If a less aggressive laser is chosen, then more treatments would be needed to reach a satisfactory result. Deep chemical peels can also significantly reduce wrinkles. Filler is a nice option for improvement that does not require downtime but will have a mild improvement.
Make sure to discuss with a surgeon who can provide the right type of laser or peel. Others (like medspas) can provide gentle lasers or peels which are not capable of addressing deep wrinkles (weaker lasers/peels are for fine lines, skin quality and color).
Lip lifts help show the red portion of the lip which starts to droop and face downward with time and gravity. They do not help with wrinkles. The majority of lip procedures are done for the upper lip using an incision under the nose. Goretex removal from the lower lip will require a different incision. Potentially it could be removed from an incision in the corners of the lips, but may need a more involved incision.
