With a lip lift, the lip is lifted, the teeth become visible again and the overall appearance of the face is significantly rejuvenated. The lip lift is suitable for patients who want permanently fuller lips or whose lips are barely visible due to age.
During an indirect lip lift, a small strip of skin in the shape of a bullhorn is removed from the lower edge of the nose and thus the lips are raised towards the nose. Shortening the philtrum (nose-upper lip distance) creates a much more distinctive upper lip. The result is long-lasting.
