Can I Get a Lower Lip Lift? | Dr. Jonathan Sykes

https://drjonathansykes.com/ -- Patients often ask me, can I get a lower lip lift? The answer is: Yes. A lower lip lift, in general, is done by excising skin with the idea that we’re going to change the contours of the lip. While not as common as an upper lip lift, a lower lip lift can help patients with thin lower lips that may not be a good candidate for lip fillers. Here’s a quick guide. FULL ARTICLE: https://drjonathansykes.com/can-i-get... How do you lift your lower lip? First, let’s start by understanding an UPPER lip lift. We lift the upper lip by removing skin under the nose, shortening the white lip, and revealing more of the red lip (also called the vermillion lip.) In a lower lip lift, in a similar fashion, patients have their lower lip inverted, or turned out, so we see more of their red or pink lip. This makes the lips fuller, and often it gives them a more natural appearance than filler injections might. So can you do that? Yes. The challenge becomes the scar. In an upper lip lift, the incision can be made far away from the lip that we’re trying to change. But in the lower lip, we’ve got to make the incision right in front. We can’t make it down on the chin. We have to make an incision near the lower lip, and excise, or remove, the white lipped skin, in order to evert, or turn out, the red vermillion of the lower lip. Do lower lip lifts look natural? Yes, an expert lower lip lift can look natural. To look natural, it simply requires you don’t create a scar that looks unnatural, or create scarring that results in an unnatural contour. So the things to beware of: 1) A scar that doesn’t look good, like maybe the scar is too thick, or 2) The scar changes the lip contour in such a way that it makes the lip look unnatural. If it’s done carefully and not overdone, a lower uplift can add to the fullness of the lower look. Overall, lower lip gloss get done much less in incidence, then do upper lip lifts.
