What is the difference between an upper Lip Lift and a lower Lip Lift?
An upper Lip Lift and a lower Lip Lift are two distinct procedures that target different areas of the lips. An upper Lip Lift focuses on lifting and enhancing the appearance of the upper lip, improving the ratio between the upper lip and the teeth, while a lower Lip Lift addresses the lower lip by shortening the distance between the lip and the chin, creating a more balanced and youthful aesthetic. The specific technique and approach used will depend on your individual anatomy and desired outcome, and a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon will help determine which procedure is most suitable for achieving your goals.
