LIP LIFT
Full and nicely shaped lips convey youth, femininity and beauty. Fortunately today there are many options to achieve full and beautiful lips. There is wide range of fillers that can easily be injected to create the desired look; some lasting many months and others lasting for many years. However, in some patients fillers alone are not the answer. As we age, the lips can thin to the point that they invert or “roll in”. In such cases a lip lift can successfully evert or roll back out the border of the lip restoring the youthful contour of the upper lip. The procedure is easily performed under local anesthesia in the office setting with little “down” time afterwards.
DR. DAHIYA’S APPROACH TO THE LIP LIFT
There are essentially two types of lip lifts. One involves making incisions along the upper border of the lip (the vermillion border) and has a direct effect on the lip shape. The other procedure involves a thin incision just inside the nostril creases which hides the incision exceptionally well. Dr. Dahiya prefers the latter approach because his goal is always to get the best results that look the most natural without any visible signs of surgery. He will in some cases use fillers in addition to the lip lift to achieve the ideal full and youthful result.
