Lip Lift Candidates

Thin or Lengthened Upper Lip: Candidates with a naturally thin or elongated upper lip often benefit from a lip lift procedure. This technique helps shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, creating a fuller, more defined upper lip.
Downturned Mouth: Individuals with a downturned mouth, where the corners of the lips droop, can achieve a more uplifting and aesthetically pleasing appearance through a lip lift. This procedure elevates the position of the lips, giving a more youthful and harmonious look.
Desire for Natural-looking Results: Candidates who seek natural-looking results that enhance their facial features are ideal for a surgical lip lift. The procedure aims to create balanced and proportional lips that harmonize with other facial features, providing an overall rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.

Lip Lift Technique

To perform the lip lift, Dr. Pogue makes a carefully placed incision just beneath the base of the nose, following the natural contours and creases. The length of the incision may vary depending on the desired outcome and the patient's anatomy.
Once the incision is made, Dr. Pogue lifts and adjusts the underlying tissues to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This process involves removing a small amount of skin and possibly some muscle tissue to achieve the desired lip lift effect.
After the necessary tissue adjustments are made, Dr. Pogue meticulously closes the incision with sutures. The sutures are typically placed within the skin layers to minimize scarring and achieve optimal healing.

Lip Lift Recovery

Following the surgical lip lift, the patient can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. It is essential to follow the post-operative care instructions provided to promote proper healing and minimize complications. The initial swelling will gradually subside over time, and the full results of the lip lift will become more apparent as the healing process progresses.
