What are Lip Lift Surgery and Lip Augmentation?
Lip lift and lip augmentation are transformative procedures that cater to those seeking a more defined cupid’s bow, a fuller pout, or a rejuvenated smile. These procedures address concerns such as thinning lips, elongated lip area due to aging, or simply a desire for more voluminous lips and a more attractive smile.
Lip Lift Surgery Bay Area
A surgical lip lift modifies the cosmetic appearance of the upper lip to achieve a younger and more refreshed look. Upper lip lift surgery reduces the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. This change accentuates the contour and the fullness of the upper lip, revealing more of the pink tissue (vermillion) and improving the visibility of the teeth when smiling. Dr. Xu meticulously performs this procedure to elevate the position of the lip, enhancing the shape and the overall facial aesthetics.
Lip Augmentation Bay Area
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at increasing the fullness of the upper and lower lips through non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers or surgical methods such as fat grafting. Dr. Xu uses advanced techniques to add or restore volume to the lips, creating a natural, plump appearance. The procedure can be customized based on the patient’s desired shape and volume, ensuring that the lips remain balanced with the overall facial features. Lip augmentation with Dr. Xu not only augments the size but also improves the shape and symmetry of the lips, providing a more appealing and youthful appearance.
