Case #689. This 55-year-old woman from Orlando area was bothered by heaviness of the upper eyelids, a tired look, lines around the lower eyelid and a long distance from nose to upper lip.  Dr. Gross performed and upper blepharoplasty, DOT CO2 laser resurfacing and upper lip lift/ Bullhorn Lift to achieve the results, shown at 3 months.  Her vision has improved and she has a natural and more open look to her eyes.

Who’s a good candidate for a lip lift?

A lip lift can be a good option for older people who want to reduce the space between the lips and the nose. With age, this space typically increases and can make the lips look smaller.

Younger people who haven’t achieved the look they want from fillers, or if they find that fillers make their lips look unnaturally plump or duck-like, may prefer a lip lift.

"Lip lifts are also a permanent solution, so they can be helpful for people who are tired of the upkeep of filler," says Dr. Gross.
