What is a lip lift?

When the skin between the nose and the upper lip is excessively long it gives an aged appearance to the lower face. Candidates for an upper lip lift are women who have a small upper lip, a long philtrum (skin between the nose and lip), asymmetry of the upper lip, severely wrinkled upper lip skin, minimal to no upper tooth show, and those seeking facial feminization.

A lip lift is a surgery aimed at improving lip symmetry, architecture, and visibility by creating a fuller and taller upper lip. This will simultaneously increase the amount of upper teeth show.
