Enhance your natural beauty with a subtle improvement. A lip lift by Dr. Burchhardt is ideal if you’re bothered by a long upper lip, thin smile, or lack of lip visibility. This refined procedure creates a more balanced appearance, perfect for those seeking elegant facial harmony.
Lip Lifts: An Overview
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, enhancing the visibility of the upper teeth and creating a fuller, more youthful lip contour. Performed by Dr. Burchhardt, this delicate procedure reshapes the area to improve facial balance and highlight the lips without the use of fillers. It’s suitable for individuals seeking a permanent, natural-looking enhancement to their smile and overall appearance.
Lip Lifts Correct:
- A long upper lip
- Thin or flat upper lip
- Lack of visible upper teeth when smiling
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Asymmetry between the upper and lower lips
- Loss of lip definition with age
Types of Lip Lifts
Subnasal Bullhorn Lip Lift
The subnasal bullhorn lip lift involves making a small incision hidden at the base of the nose. The incision shape resembles a bullhorn, allowing Dr. Burchhardt to precisely remove a strip of skin and elevate the upper lip. This shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip (the philtrum), enhancing the lip’s curvature and creating a more defined Cupid’s bow. The result is improved tooth show when smiling and a fuller upper lip.
Outer Lip Advancement
Outer lip advancement targets the lateral portions of the upper lip and is often used to enhance lip definition and volume across the full lip line. In this technique, small incisions are made along the vermilion border, the edge between the pink lip and surrounding skin, to remove excess skin and lift the lip tissue. This allows Dr. Burchhardt to precisely reshape the upper lip’s contour, making it appear more youthful and pronounced.
Corner Lip Lift
The corner lip lift focuses on elevating the outer edges of the mouth, which may naturally droop with age or create a downturned, sad expression. Using small incisions placed at the mouth’s corners, Dr. Burchhardt subtly lifts these areas to restore a brighter, more youthful look. Ideal for patients with a naturally downturned smile or those seeking a more open appearance, the corner lip lift can enhance overall facial expressions.
Benefits of Lip Lifts:
- A fuller, more youthful upper lip
- Enhance the definition of Cupid’s bow
- Improve balance between the nose, lips, and chin
- Increase upper tooth show when smiling
- Permanent alternative to lip fillers
- Reduce the length of the upper lip
- Minimize signs of aging around the mouth
