This elongation leads to inversion of the red lip, loss of volume and thinner looking upper lip. In this case, fillers cannot adequately address the issue and the best solution is an upper lip lift.

This operation can safely performed under local anesthesia or combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like facelift.

Once the upper lip is shortened, it everts the red lip and improves the upper lip show in addition to creating a nice tooth show.
