Elevate Your Look

As we age, our features continue to grow, sometimes causing certain areas, such as the upper lip or ears, to appear disproportionately larger. A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the mouth by removing excess skin under the nose and elevating the top lip. This procedure creates a more youthful-looking smile by increasing lip fullness and restoring the overall balance of the facial features.
