If you’ve noticed how aging has affected your smile, causing your lips to thin or lose definition, it’s easy to feel like your confidence is slipping away. The Lip Lift procedure at AR Aesthetics offers a permanent solution to restore your youthful lip shape and enhance facial balance – take action now before these changes become more noticeable over time. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to regain the fullness and symmetry of your lips.
What Is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgery that involves elevating the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose, shortening the philtrum (the area between the nose and lip), and increasing lip visibility. This enhances the lip’s shape, reveals more of the vermilion (pink lip tissue), and creates a subtle upward curve. Performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation, the procedure uses a hidden incision at the base of the nose for minimal scarring. The result is a rejuvenated, expressive smile.
