As you age, the area around your mouth can change in shape and size. Sagging from loss of volume can cause your lips to cover up your teeth when you smile. One of the best ways to restore a beautiful smile is with a modified perialar lip lift. This cosmetic surgical procedure removes excess tissue from the upper lip and lifts it to achieve better facial symmetry. Here are the three main benefits you can receive from a modified perialar lip lift.
Restore a More Youthful Look
The length and width of your lips play a crucial role in how youthful your mouth appears. A modified perialar lip lift can help restore a more youthful appearance. The cosmetic procedure plumps lips to create a natural, fuller pout. If you are a smoker, a modified lip lift can eliminate some of the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area.
Show Off Your Pearly Whites
Do your lips cover up your upper teeth when you smile? Besides removing excess tissue, the upper lip is pulled upward during a modified perialar lip lift to show off your pearly whites when smiling. The shape and direction of your lips can be improved to help make your smile more attractive.
Achieve Long-Lasting Results
A modified perialar lip lift provides better and longer-lasting results than other treatment options. With other lip lift surgical procedures, excess tissue is removed from around the nose. Since the modified perialar lip lift focuses on removal of tissue from the upper lip, a more stable suspension is created with less scarring. Lip fillers can provide a temporary option to restore your smile, but repeat treatments are necessary to maintain results.
