Lip Lift Englewood, CO | Dr. Manish Shah

Comprehensive Lip Lift Overview

South Denver plastic surgeon Dr. Manish Shah creates shapely, gorgeous lips through cosmetic lip lift surgery. Unlike lip augmentation that uses fillers to enhance volume, a lip lift surgically redefines the lip shape by enhancing the "Cupid's bow" and adjusting the vertical space between the nose and upper lip.

• Reduces smoker's lines
• Provides long-lasting results

Surgical Techniques

Gull-Wing Lip Lift

The gull-wing technique addresses the vermilion, focusing on the pinkish lip skin. A precise incision removes skin above the white line, subtly changing the Cupid's bow shape. This method can enhance both upper and lower lip vermilion display.

Sub-Nasal Lip Lift

Also known as the "bullhorn" technique, this method removes skin under the nose and gently lifts the tissue. The result reveals a small portion of teeth when the mouth is closed, creating an immediate lifting effect.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates seek to address concerns like excessive gum show or desire a more defined lip shape. During consultation, Dr. Shah will evaluate individual anatomy and aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate lip procedure.

Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility, the lip lift typically takes up to two hours. Patients can expect initial results within days, with final outcomes developing over several months.

Frequently Addressed Concerns

Lip lifts differ from augmentation by improving lip position and shape rather than simply adding volume. The goal is creating natural, subtle, and youthful results that complement individual facial features.
