Lip Lift Overview
The lips are one of the most prominent and expressive facial features. A lip lift enhances lip volume and shape, providing beautiful, natural, and long-lasting results.
This outpatient procedure involves removing a small strip of skin between the nose and upper lip, which shortens the distance and creates a lifted appearance. The benefits of a lip lift include:
- Accentuating your Cupid’s bow for a more defined shape
- Increasing tooth show for a brighter, more engaging smile
- Exposing more lip tissue for fuller lips
- Lifting the corners of your mouth for a more youthful look
At Shire Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shire customizes each lip lift to fit the patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. His expertise and dedication to personalized care have established him as the top lip lift surgeon in Chattanooga, providing stunning, natural results for every client.
Am I A Good Candidate for a Lip Lift?
Patients opt for lip lifts for various reasons, including lips that have lost volume or height due to aging, naturally thinner lips, or dissatisfaction with the overall appearance of their lips. A lip lift can be a great solution for enhancing lip shape and volume.
Both men and women can benefit from a lip lift procedure.
An ideal candidate should:
- Be in overall good health
- Fully understand the lip lift procedure
- Have realistic expectations of the expected results
Additionally, if you smoke, you must be able to quit for approximately 2-4 weeks or longer after surgery to ensure optimal healing. Unlike lip fillers, which provide temporary results, a lip lift is a surgical procedure that offers long-lasting results.
