FAQ

There are some people who are not suited for this procedure. One of the most common reasons for unsuitability is a significantly higher proportion of the teeth that show. If lifting the lip would result in further showing of the teeth, the patient won’t get the desired result of improving his or her features. However, a referral to a cosmetic dentist who can perform a tooth shortening treatment may address this issue. In those cases, the procedure may still be an option.

The object of the procedure is to release the tension from the lip prior to lifting by releasing the skin and muscle attachments around the lip. This part of the procedure is carried out in such a way that the skin is not stretched, but it is instead distributed evenly. The stitches are attached to the ligaments that surround the bones at the base of the nose. This step is important, as stitching to the wrong area is what causes scarring to occur. Our technique is designed to promote healing and prevent scarring. We do not want our patients to have any concerns about scarring, especially because the procedure is intended to enhance the appearance of the face.

The amount of skin removed will depend on your needs. We will remove anywhere between 5mm to 7mm of skin. Realistically, the amount is more likely to fall at the higher end of the range. As this is a cosmetic procedure, we will always keep within the safest range for each individual patient. Removing excessive amounts of skin results in prolonged healing times, which we know is not ideal for our patients.
