WHAT IS A LIP LIFT?

lip border
	* Gullwing Lip Lift: Enhances vermillion by removing a thin skin
strip

central upper lip

Ideal candidates include individuals with:

 	* Long philtrum
	* Thin or poorly defined upper lips
	* Desire for a more youthful lip contour
	* Minimal upper tooth show when smiling

position. The surgery typically takes one to two hours and is

LIP IMPLANTS MCLEAN, VA | DR. BRENT BIRELY | BODY PLASTIC SURGEON

WHAT ARE LIP IMPLANTS?

Lip implants involve placing soft, flexible silicone implants into the
lips. These can give you fuller lips and can be done to the upper or
lower lips. Most patients choose to do both lips if both the upper and
bottom lips are thin. The result is a more balanced look to the lips
with long-term results, unlike alternatives like lip fillers.

BENEFITS OF LIP IMPLANTS

 	* Immediate, natural-looking results
	* Long-lasting lip enhancement
	* Customizable implant shapes and sizes
	* No frequent touch-ups required
	* Correction of lip asymmetry

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIP IMPLANTS?

You can likely benefit from lip implants if you're dissatisfied with
your lips' overall look, balance, and projection. Many patients opt
for lip implants to help correct asymmetry or because they've tried
lip fillers in the past but want longer-term results.

THE LIP IMPLANTS PROCEDURE

Lip implants can be performed in a very short amount of time using
local anesthesia or sedation. Most patients have the procedure done
under local anesthesia in the office. Dr. Rostami will create tiny
entry points in the lip and place the implant accordingly.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Lip implants require a few days of recovery, during which you may
experience some redness, bruising, and swelling. With proper
aftercare, lip implants can last for many years and can easily be
removed if needed.

UNDERSTANDING LIP LIFT SURGERY

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alex Mesbahi offers advanced lip
lift surgery at Mesbahi Plastic Surgery in McLean, VA. This precision

amount of tissue from the philtrum and creating an elevated profile.

BENEFITS OF LIP LIFT SURGERY

 	* Advanced surgical techniques
	* Personalized treatment planning
	* Natural-looking results
	* Long-lasting upper lip enhancement

IDEAL CANDIDATES

strategies tailored to individual aesthetic goals.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The outpatient lip lift procedure typically takes less than one hour
and utilizes general or local anesthesia. Dr. Mesbahi carefully
removes a bullhorn-shaped skin strip beneath the nose, elevating and
suturing the tissue to create a symmetrical, fuller upper lip profile.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect mild pulling sensations for 2-3 days and potential
swelling for up to two weeks. Over-the-counter pain management and
cold compresses can help manage post-surgical discomfort. A follow-up
appointment will be scheduled to remove stitches.

SURGICAL ADVANTAGES

Unlike temporary dermal fillers, a surgical lip lift offers more
permanent and natural-looking results. The procedure provides
long-lasting enhancement by removing excess skin and creating a more
defined upper lip contour.

POTENTIAL COMBINATION TREATMENTS

Patients may combine lip lift surgery with additional facial
rejuvenation treatments such as wrinkle relaxers or cosmetic
injectables to achieve comprehensive aesthetic improvements.
