Upper Lip Lift and Peri Oral Rejuvenation

The area around the mouth (aka perioral) plays a very important role in the emotional expression of the face.

Aging in this area has an impact on emotional expression.

There are changes in skin quality, shape, and projection of the lip. The distance from the nose to the lip increases, and the lip projects less with age.

There is loss of definition of the anatomical landmarks, and the appearance of nasolabial folds and creases.

The upper lip lift restores the distance between the upper lip to the nose.

An upper lip lift incision is made in a discrete location within the folds at the base of the nose. Bringing in a photo of your face and upper lip from a younger age allows Dr McRae to calculate the precise amount of lift needed to restore your lip to its natural and more youthful position.

This can be combined with volume restoration techniques such as autologous microfat grafting to address volume loss and improve projection and contour of the perioral region.
