A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip. This creates a more youthful and balanced facial profile, with greater exposure of the red part of the lips and enhancement of the smile.
It is ideal for individuals who want to improve the shape and position of the upper lip without injectable materials, achieving natural, long-lasting results.
Benefits of a Lip Lift:
Reduces the distance between the nose and the upper lip.
Highlights the natural volume of the lips without fillers.
Creates a more youthful and open smile.
Permanent result that does not require repeated treatments.
Balances facial features.
Uses two small symmetrical incisions at the base of the nose for a more discreet intervention.
