Understanding Lip Lift: A Modern Aesthetic Procedure

The lip lift has emerged as a cutting-edge trend in plastic surgery, addressing lip aesthetics for patients ranging from their 20s to older demographics. This procedure focuses on enhancing the shape, definition, and sensuality of the lips through precise surgical techniques.

Lip Anatomy and Aesthetic Beauty

Lip beauty is defined by several key characteristics:

Hydrated and voluminous appearance
Well-defined cupid's bow
Visible central incisors when resting
Slight raised tubercle in female lips

Age-Related Lip Changes

As individuals age, the upper lip undergoes significant transformations. Collagen loss and weakening of the orbicularis muscle lead to elongation and volume reduction. This results in a flatter, less defined lip that can create a stern facial appearance.

Lip Lift Procedure: Surgical Precision

A lip lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to shorten the upper lip's length, creating a more youthful and sensual mouth contour. The technique involves carefully measured excision to improve lip definition and tooth exposure.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Dr. Sharma emphasizes that lip lift surgery is not a standardized procedure. Each patient receives a customized approach based on their unique facial anatomy, ensuring natural and harmonious results.

Procedure Details

Comprehensive facial and lip evaluation
Precise measurements using professional calipers
Typically 4-7 mm of lip height excised
Performed under local anesthesia
Non-absorbable sutures removed after one week

Lip Lift vs. Lip Filler: Making the Right Choice

While lip fillers add volume using hyaluronic acid, a lip lift fundamentally reshapes the lip structure. The procedure effectively raises and everts the lip, creating a more youthful appearance that cannot be achieved through injectable treatments.

Key Differences

Lip lift provides structural enhancement
Permanent results compared to temporary fillers
Improves natural lip proportions
Addresses age-related lip elongation

I honestly have NEVER in all my 68 years met a doctor like Dr Sharma. Plastic surgery was not something I ever considered until he was HIGHLY recommended to me by a respected nurse I had met in 2022. I had met with her regarding non-invasive options regarding my noticeably aging face and my losing self-confidence. She explained a few lasers to me I had researched and was honest and told me I wouldn’t be happy with the results. She told me she had worked with Dr Sharma who is a Facial Plastic Surgeon, one of his specialties being Deep Plane Facelifts. She went on to tell me he recently just opened his own practice and couldn’t say enough wonderful things about him. I wasted no time in going to his website and read about his Education & Training; Certification & Licensure; and Awards & Honors. I was BEYOND IMPRESSED with ALL I had read about Dr. Sharma. I also must mention he trained under a WORLD REKNOWN surgeon! That’s rare! I can’t recommend enough to take the time to go to his Instagram (@sharmaplasticsurgery) and website and everything you read PERFECTLY describes Dr Sharma!! I called his office in July 2022 and scheduled a consultation with him. I spoke with Ieshia who was extremely warm, understanding, patient and kind. Dr Sharma hired one of the best when he hired Ieshia as her interaction with patients is second to none. The day I met Dr Sharma for my consultation, I immediately felt I found my surgeon! I explained why I had made the appointment to meet with him and he listened intently and fully answered all my questions and concerns. He was totally unrushed, and I could feel his GENUINE attention to everything we talked about. I made the decision to have my deep plane facelift and neck lift in October 2023. While at the surgical facility the morning of surgery, I honestly was OVERWHELMED by the nonstop compliments from the nurses and medical personnel, including the anesthesiologist, who truly admired and had the utmost respect for Dr Sharma. The results were what I had hoped and prayed for...natural-looking, fresher and younger. Both pre-op and post-op could not have gone more smoothly, especially because Dr Sharma was extremely caring to call and text regarding how I was doing. Again, I have NEVER met a surgeon like him! In March 2024, Dr Sharma performed an endoscopic brow lift, upper & lower blepharoplasty, and facial fat grafting. Again, I couldn’t have been happier with the natural looking results, which was extremely important to me. I’m considering a Rhinoplasty and CO2 laser treatment sometime in 2025. Dr Sharma and his staff are amazing! They are THE BEST and words cannot express the UTMOST praise I have for ALL Dr Sharma and his staff did to help make my recovery go as smoothly as it did. I’ll be forever grateful to him for his GENUINE caring and true professionalism and expertise. Dr Sharma is an EXTRAORDINARY facial plastic surgeon, extremely humble, and ALWAYS will go above and beyond for his patients! I PROMISE you’ll be overjoyed when you meet him in person!! He’ll always hold a special place in my heart for being the exceptional surgeon and person he is!

I had a septoplasty on a deviated septum I had for almost 20 years. Procedure was quick and not painful. Everyone was nice and responsive. Recovery was 5 says before stents removed which was probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole thing. At day 10 I'm almost completely pain free. No side effects and I can breath a million times better. Free airflow through both nostrils! Would suggest this procedure to anyone who has a deviated septum!

Exceptional service, care and results ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment I walked into the Newport Beach office, I was welcomed and cared for and knew I was in good hands. The results from surgery exceeded all of my expectations. Dr. Sharma took the time to thoroughly explain the process, address my concerns, and create a customized plan that complemented my natural features.. The entire experience, from the initial consultation to post-op care, was seamless. His staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and supportive every step of the way. I am thrilled with my results and would recommend Dr Sharma to anyone looking for a trusted and highly skilled surgeon.

Dr. Sharma did an amazing job with an endoscopic brow lift and upper blepharoplasty with such expertise! I have had nothing but compliments, and it took years off of my appearance which I am eternally grateful for. I would recommend Dr. Sharma to anybody looking for a surgeon with his specialties. It’s difficult to find a doctor that I can trust, but he is extremely talented and trustworthy.
