O Loss of upper lip volume with soft tissue descent. Patients who experience signs of facial aging may also benefit from Lip Lift surgery.As we age, the changes that occur specifically to the mouth and lip include: A surgical lip lift can permanently increase the vermillion show, increase tooth display, and generally improve the facial aesthetics and rejuvenate the lower face. In those patients, a subnasal lip lift can achieve a poutier and more natural upper lip. Patients with a long philtrum who previously underwent lip augmentation with fillers may have experienced protrusion of the lip forward rather than an increase of red lip show - a condition also known as “duck lips”. The individual facial characteristics and measurements along with the look that the patient wants to achieve will determine the amount of lift required. These measurements however, may vary on individuals and a thorough clinical assessment is essential.
As a rule of thumb, a subnasal lip lift is indicated in patients who have a long philtrum, of more than 15 mm, and this height is aimed to be reduced approximately by one third.
