A Lip Lift procedure can indeed alter the shape of your lips. It is specifically designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the lip and the base of the nose, resulting in a more youthful and proportionate lip contour. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific needs and discuss the potential outcomes of the procedure in more detail to ensure that your expectations are aligned with the achievable results.

Can I see before and after photos of previous Lip Lift patients?

During your consultation, your surgeon can typically provide you with these photos, allowing you to visualize the potential outcomes and gain a better understanding of the procedure’s effectiveness. These photos can help you assess the surgeon’s skill and determine if their aesthetic approach aligns with your goals. Keep in mind that patient privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance, so the photos will be shown in a professional and respectful manner. Your surgeon will explain each case and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel confident and comfortable in your decision.
