What is Lip Lift Surgery?
Lip lift surgery, performed under local anesthesia, is a surgical procedure that corrects drooping or thin lips, allowing you to achieve fuller, shaped and younger-looking lips. In this procedure, lip tissue is reshaped to add volume to the lips, emphasize contours and reduce smile lines.
How is Lip Lift Surgery Performed?
Lip lift surgery does not require general anesthesia as only the lip area of the patient is numbed. This allows the patient to feel more comfortable during the operation and to feel better as they wake up. Lip lift surgery performed under local anesthesia is performed while the patient is conscious and communicating.
Lip lift surgery has many benefits. First, it corrects drooping or thin lips, giving you fuller and younger-looking lips. By adding volume to the lips, it improves the balance and proportion of your face. Lip lift surgery also helps reduce lip lines and crow’s feet wrinkles.
