Lip lift Dallas- Refresh your smile with lip lift surgery

The appeal of fuller lips lies in what they signify about youthful beauty. Full lips are a visual signal of youth and vitality, indicating enhanced physical beauty. Larger lips are an indication of age, however, so it’s best to consider both fullness and volume when choosing a cosmetic procedure, especially if you're considering a lip lift. Lip lifts increase the height of your lips, enhancing your overall facial appearance and creating a more attractive smile.

A Lip lift will also give the appearance of a  brighter, more positive expression, which helps restore balance and proportion to your face. Subtle alterations to the lips' size and contour result in an attractive facial profile, making them noticeable enough for others to see, but not so obvious as to look unnatural. This is an especially great option for people who are worried about the appearance of their lips aging them. 

The minimally invasive surgical lip lift offers our patients a permanent improvement for a radiant, youthful appearance. It is the more permanent option for those also considering cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers and lip fillers which can improve our facial expression and provide us with a more youthful appearance. However, these results will be temporary and are not made to improve elements such as lip length, proeminence of the lip line and lip coloring.

Lip lift surgery is usually done in-office with mild sedation and under local anesthesia, similar to a dental procedure. When combined with rhinoplasty or facelift surgery the procedure is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia.

There is "downtime" lip lift surgery. Though you may feel a bit sore afterwards, it should subside in a few days. Some upper lip swelling and bruising is expected. Your sutures will be removed around 5-7 days. The resultant incision is usually pencil-thin and fades nearly completely over time.

With age, our lips begin to lack moisture and wrinkle causing the upper lip to roll inward, resulting in a very thin upper lip. Since the upper lift rolls over the teeth, this can leave you with an aged appearance. A lip lift can help improve the dental show, and overall aesthetics of the area around the nose and mouth leaving you with a more aesthetic and youthful look.

As the patient continues to age there may be slight elongation of the upper lip, however the results of lip lift surgery are permanent. The incision heals very well and is almost invisible after about a year.

Improper placement of the incision, or excessive removal of the skin may result in unwanted results, webbing or poor scarring. When looking to have this procedure done, It is important that you find a surgeon who is an expert in facial anatomy and aesthetics. 

A less permanent alternative to a lip flip is lip fillers. A variety of hyaluronic dermal fillers are used to augment the 3D structure and volume of the lips to enhance their appearance. Treatments take about 30 minutes and last about 12 months. Our advanced anesthesia techniques ensure your maximum comfort.

Another less permanent alternative that is more subtle than lip fillers is a Lip Flip. During a Lip flip Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Jeaveau) is used to enhance the upper lip by allowing it to roll slightly upward creating a more voluminous and defined upper lip. It is an excellent alternative to fillers for patients who want a more subtle enhancement than fillers provide.

A Russian Lip procedure is a new name for a technique we have been using for many years. The procedure involves a lip injection technique using microdroplet dermal filler injections in a tenting or pillar form that allows for increased lift, and structure of the lip creating the sought-after "editorial model look" without creating an overly enlarged lip.

Cosmetic surgical procedure to enhance the volume balance of the upper and lower lips by removing lip volume. Often performed in the office, under local anesthesia in less than one hour.

Lip Implants are a great permanent solution for people who want fuller looking lip volume without having to go through frequent treatments or injections. Lip implants may be placed in an office setting under local anesthesia in suitable candidates. This option will leave you with fuller looking lips but less of a lifted smile look than a lip lift would give you. 

Other treatments include fat transfer to the lips, treatment of gummy smile, and treatment of "smokers lines" around the lips.
