If you are unhappy with the shape of your mouth, you may consider having a lip lift in Kansas City. Aging and genetics can cause your lips to lose shape and volume, making the space between your upper lip and nose (philtrum) appear too long. A lip lift can help decrease this space, giving you a fuller mouth and a more youthful appearance. Many different lip lift procedures are available, and our talented plastic surgeons can help you find the perfect one to give you the best results.
Lip lifts have many advantages, including that they are longer lasting than fillers and do not merely cover up the problem like makeup does. Learn more about this popular facial plastic surgery by calling our knowledgeable team at Associated Plastic Surgeons today.
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that enhances the fullness of your lips by reducing the area between your upper lip and the base of your nose. If your upper lips are very thin or you would like your philtrum to be shorter, you might consider getting a lip lift in Kansas City. While lipstick and lipliners can make your lips appear fuller, makeup is a temporary fix and does not treat the cause. A lip lift can give you permanent results, fuller lips, and a more youthful appearance.
If you are thinking about having a lip lift, know you have options. We offer many different types of lip lift procedures at our Kansas City office, from which you and your plastic surgeon can choose.
The most common type of lip lift, giving you a “cupid’s bow” and a fuller upper lip, reducing any asymmetries
These are similar to the bullhorn lip lift but involve making a straight incision along the base of the nose and can create a more defined lip border and reduce the size of your philtrum
Elevate the middle part of your upper lip to give you the appearance of fuller lips. This procedure may be for you if you would like to lift the sagging skin around the lower part of your nose
Slightly lift the corners of the lips to create a happier appearance and reduce the appearance of a downturned mouth. You may consider this if you are looking to lift the drooping around the corners of their lips
Lip lift procedures at our Kansas City office are typically performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis. Recovery time can vary, and there is a chance you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around your lips and philtrum. These symptoms usually resolve in a few weeks, and you can reach out to your dedicated plastic surgeon anytime you have concerns.
If you are self-conscious about your lips and want fuller lips with more volume, a lip lift in Kansas City may be right for you. Our talented plastic surgeons have all been practicing and successfully helping patients just like you for over 20 years.
