Lip Lift

Some of the signs of ageing are evident in the upper lip. Loss of upper jawbone as well as development of thinness in tissue of the lip makes the lip appear longer. The upper teeth can become or remain hidden when a person smiles.

The surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation and usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. The procedure involves an incision under the nostril rims extending the outer wings of the nose. The surgery can be performed on its own or in combination with procedures such as facelift.
