Are your lips thinner or flatter than they used to be? Have you noticed lines around your mouth or an increased distance between your nose and top lip? The lips change with age, often losing volume and definition. A lip enhancement procedure can restore the fullness and lift the upper lip for a more youthful appearance. At pēkomd® in Columbus, we offer lip lift surgery and other lip enhancement procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Understanding Lip Enhancement
With age, lips tend to lose their plumpness as the fatty tissue diminishes, resulting in thinner lips with more lines and wrinkles. This shrinkage can also cause the upper lip to lengthen as volume decreases. These changes can be particularly noticeable in women who wear lipstick and want to draw attention to their lips. A lip lift can shorten the upper lip, smooth out lines, and create a more youthful mouth appearance.
How a Lip Lift is Achieved
A lip lift involves making a small incision near the base of the nose, close to the nostrils. Excess skin is removed, and the upper lip is lifted to create a firmer, shorter distance between the lips and nose. This lifting action smooths away some lines and wrinkles, revealing more of the colored part of the upper lip. The procedure can be combined with dermal fat grafting to add volume and fullness, further smoothing lip lines and creating plumper, youthful lips.
