Lip lift

Lip lift is an in-office surgical procedure that is aimed to shorten the space between the nose and the top of the lip.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure in which a small piece of skin under the nose is removed resulting in an altered appearance of the upper lip and more visible upper teeth. There are many different types of lip lifts, and a discussion with your doctor on your desired look will help him or her decide which type is right for you. To fully grasp what a lip lift is, it is important to understand the anatomy of the lip.

Since ancient times, people have been searching for ways to enhance their lips. Ancient Egyptians, both men and women, routinely wore red lipstick made of gemstones, flowers and beeswax to augment their appearance. Over 2000 years later, technology and techniques have evolved and one of today’s most popular trends in lip enhancement is the lip lift.
What Is the Anatomy of the Lip?

When discussing any facial cosmetic surgical procedure, it is important to be familiar with the anatomy of the areas involved.

With respect to the lip lift, some important anatomical terms to understand include:

• Nasal base – the lowest part of the nose, where the nose attaches to the face
• Philtrum – the space between the nasal base and the most upper portion of the upper lip (vermillion border)
• Vermillion border – the line that separates the skin of the philtrum and the pink part of the upper lip
• Cupid’s bow – the double curved appearance of the central part of the upper lip, named after the shape of the bow of Cupid, the Roman god of love
• Dental show – the amount of upper teeth visible when smiling or with the mouth gently open
