Before & After Lip Lift

By Ramtin Kassir, M.D.

There are several different types of lip lifts, each of which is designed to address specific cosmetic concerns. The most common types of lip lifts include:

1. Bullhorn lip lift: This type of lip lift involves making a small incision at the base of the nose, and then removing a strip of skin to create a more defined cupid’s bow and upper lip.
2. Heart-shaped lip lift: This type of lip lift is similar to a bullhorn lip lift, but the incision is made along the border of the upper lip. This creates a heart-shaped scar that is well-hidden in the natural contours of the lip.
3. Corner lip lift: A corner lip lift is used to improve the appearance of downturned or down turning corners of the mouth. The procedure involves making a small incision at the corners of the mouth, and then repositioning the skin and tissue to create a more youthful and uplifted appearance.
4. Lip reduction: A lip reduction is a type of lip lift that is used to reduce the size of overly large or disproportionate lips. The procedure involves removing a small amount of tissue from the lips, and then carefully stitching the incision closed.

Overall, the type of lip lift that is right for you will depend on your specific cosmetic concerns and goals. Dr. Kassir can help you determine the best approach for achieving the results you desire.
