Lip Lift in Kihei, HI | Ivey Plastic Surgery

Understanding Lip Lift Procedure

Correction of the aging lip requires addressing volume, proportion, and surface texture. As individuals age, lips lose volume and the upper lip can lengthen, often hiding teeth and creating visible wrinkles when smiling.

Surgical Technique

Lip Lift is a strategic procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, exposing more of the red lip and potentially revealing more tooth show. From a lateral perspective, this technique can "roll" the lip upward, creating a more youthful appearance.

Comprehensive Approach

• Strategic lip shortening
• Corner mouth lift integration
• Potential volume enhancement techniques
• Surface texture considerations
