Enhance your smile with a lip lift surgery at Daniels Group Plastic Surgery in Summit, NJ. Achieve a youthful, more defined lip contour with this minimally invasive procedure.
A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, definition, and volume of the upper lip. As we age, the upper lip can elongate and lose its youthful fullness, leading to a less defined smile. A lip lift surgery addresses this by removing excess skin above the upper lip, shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip, and restoring a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
During the procedure, Dr. Daniels will make small incisions at the base of the nose, often following the natural creases to minimize scarring. The excess skin is then removed, and the lip is lifted, creating a more defined, plump look. The surgery typically takes about 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preference.
