Lip Lift In Ladera Ranch, CA

Model

These days, people are more aware than ever of how their smiles and lips look. Social media and video meetings are part of the reasons why these body elements are constantly on display. Many people desire more prominent lips. Yet, not everyone is naturally blessed with the perfect pouty look. Sometimes, with thinner lips, it may be difficult to see the upper or top lip, or it may even look like both lips blend seamlessly into the skin. It is usually challenging to apply lipstick and other makeup products when the lips have less visible surface area, and it can often draw unwanted attention to the lips and mouth. Additionally, as we age, the skin around the lips can sag, leading to an elongated upper lip.

Lip lift surgery provides a solution to droopy, thin lips. Dr. Doezie performs lip lifts in Ladera Ranch, California, to help patients achieve a youthful lip look that they feel confident smiling with and showing off to the world.

What Is a Lip Lift?

As a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, a lip lift rejuvenates the lips and makes them more prominent. The procedure involves removing skin from the area between the nose and upper lip—also known as the philtrum length—and lifting the lips into the desired position. A lip lift results in more apparent lips that enhance your smile and complement the rest of your facial features.

What Are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?

Benefits of a lip lift procedure include:

Defines the upper lip
Provides a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance to the lips

Am I a Candidate for a Lip Lift?

If you’re considering lip lift surgery, you may be a good candidate if you:

Want to reduce the distance between your nose and lips
Are bothered by the appearance of your lips
Want more defined, natural-looking lips

Schedule your consultation at Mission Plastic Surgery, where Dr. Doezie can help you determine if a lip lift can help you reach your aesthetic goals.

What Are My Lip Lift Options?

Lip lift surgery is customized for each patient to fit their goals and balance their facial features. Candidates for lip lift surgery will be informed of their options during their consultation with Dr. Doezie and told which techniques will give them their desired results.

Subnasal Lip Lift

As the most popular lip lift technique, the subnasal lip lift involves a bullhorn-shaped incision below the nose. This option is also called the bullhorn lip lift due to the incision and the bullhorn shape of the removed skin. The incision allows the middle and sides of the upper lift to be raised, creating a more lifted appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is a Lip Lift Performed?

Local anesthesia is typically used for lip lift surgery, as it is a more minor procedure. Dr. Doezie will create incisions under your nose—the location and size of these incisions will depend on the techniques used for your procedure and your surgical goals. Excess skin will be removed, allowing the lips to be more visible and have a more defined shape. The lips will also be lifted.

What Is the Recovery From a Lip Lift Like?

Lip lift recovery is fairly simple and quick. You can expect to experience some swelling, and your lips may feel sore and tight. Any discomfort should be minimal and temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol. Swelling and related symptoms typically subside after two weeks.

Dr. Doezie will give you instructions on how to care for your treatment area. He will also inform you of any diet or movement restrictions to allow you to have a smooth recovery.

What Results Can I Expect From Lip Lift Surgery?

You can expect your lip lift results to be fuller and more defined. Lip lift results are designed to be long-lasting, and the changes made to your lips and the skin around them are permanent. However, lip lift surgery cannot stop you from naturally aging, so you may experience some slight changes to the area as you get older.

What kind of results can I expect from facelift surgery?

Facelift surgery provides long-lasting results that can remove years from your appearance. However, facelift surgery cannot halt the natural aging process. Taking care of your skin and avoiding direct exposure to sunlight and other harmful environmental factors can help prolong the quality of your results.
