Today’s topic is upper lip lift, also called lip lift or philtrumplasty. We will discuss this procedure in detail.
Facial aesthetics and the proportion of the central face are crucial. Specifically, the distance between the nose and the upper lip plays a significant role. To achieve better balance, a straightforward procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. This procedure focuses on shortening the distance mentioned earlier. As a result, the central face becomes more harmonious, enhancing its overall appearance. Additionally, one of the benefits is that it exposes more of the natural color of the lip without adding volume. This is achieved by gently turning out the inner part of the lip, resulting in a more pleasant and balanced look for the central face. The procedure itself is simple and can be done as an outpatient with local anesthesia, resulting in excellent outcomes.
