Lip Augmentation in Dublin, OH | Richard O. Davila, MD

Understanding Lip Augmentation Procedures

A youthful and attractive lip is characterized by a plump and full appearance with a distinctive "M" shape, highlighting the philtral columns and white roll of the lip. Richard O. Davila, MD offers two primary approaches to lip enhancement: surgical and non-surgical techniques.

Lip Enhancement Options

• Temporary Volume Enhancement: Non-surgical fillers
• Permanent Reshaping: Surgical lip-lift procedure

Surgical Lip-Lift: A Permanent Solution

The surgical lip-lift is a powerful procedure designed to create a fuller, taller lip and potentially reveal a few millimeters of tooth show—a hallmark of attractive lips. This technique involves removing a small strip of upper lip skin to reposition the red upper lip and shorten the philtrum.

Ideal Candidates for Lip-Lift

The most suitable candidates for an upper lip-lift typically include:

• Women with a small or short upper red lip
• Individuals with a long philtrum
• Patients experiencing upper lip asymmetry
• Those with minimal to no upper tooth show

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves precisely measuring and removing a carefully calculated strip of skin and subcutaneous tissue. The incision is strategically concealed within the natural shadow of the nose and lip junction, ensuring minimal visible scarring.

Procedure Details and Recovery

Initially, a small scar may be visible, but within a few months, it becomes barely noticeable. By six months, most scars are typically imperceptible and can be easily concealed with makeup if needed.
