Today’s Best Options for A Lip Lift
There are several treatment options available, including non-invasive temporary solutions and surgical lip lifts. Your doctor can discuss these treatment options in more detail with you to select the best one to meet your goals and fit your body’s unique anatomy.
Lip Lift Surgery
Lip lift surgery is a minor surgical procedure that can be done under local anesthesia. A lip lift surgery can also be added to other cosmetic surgeries if you are planning to have more. Skill is incredibly important during this surgery since you want a scar that will heal discreetly since the lips are a focal point of your face. Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Fodero, has been performing lip lifts and lip surgeries for nearly 30 years so you can trust he has the experience you need to leave with beautiful, aesthetically pleasing results.

Dermal Fillers
Fillers can add volume and increase the height of the upper lip. However, the philtrum cannot be shortened with this treatment and there is also a natural limitation for how much the lip can be filled while still appearing natural. For these reasons, the best lip fillers are a more effective treatment for younger patients since the visual trick of fillers cannot always create optimal results for women with more advanced signs of aging.

Lip Flip with Botox
Botox creates a very similar effect to a lip lift for younger patients. Botox injections enhance the red color of the lip and reduce muscle contractions that cause the lip to flip. Botox must be used carefully around the mouth since the muscles they contract are needed for normal function. Although the time period these injections can be used to create beautiful results while maintaining function is limited, Botox is a great temporary fix to hold off surgery for younger patients.

Why Choose Reflections Center for a Lip Lift
The lips are a delicate area of your face, so it is important to receive treatment from an experienced surgeon or injector. Dr. Fodero specializes in facial reconstructive surgery and has an in-depth understanding of human anatomy. Knowing the function of the muscles around your lips is incredibly important since too much Botox or top lip filler can impair this function. Dr. Fodero’s experience will also ensure that the scars left from a lip lift surgery are practically invisible since he can conceal them in the natural grooves of your face.
