The shape, height, and balance of your upper lip play a significant role in the beauty of your smile — and even subtle changes can dramatically improve your overall facial harmony. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, located in Atlanta, GA, we offer the Modified Perialar Lip Lift, an advanced technique developed by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon known for surgical precision and natural-looking results.
If you’re looking to enhance your smile, improve lip proportions, or reverse signs of aging in the mouth area, an Atlanta lip lift might be the perfect solution.
Why Consider a Lip Lift?
As we age, the distance between the nose and upper lip lengthens, leading to a flatter, less defined lip appearance and a loss of visible tooth show when smiling. Some people are genetically predisposed to a longer upper lip or downward-turning mouth corners, which can affect facial expression even at a young age. While fillers can offer temporary improvement, they often fall short in addressing lip shape and vertical length, and in some cases, they can create an overfilled or unnatural look.
That’s where a well-done lip lift becomes a game-changer.
What Is the Modified Perialar Lip Lift?
Dr. Stong’s Modified Perialar Lip Lift goes beyond the traditional subnasal technique. While the standard lip lift removes skin from under the nose to shorten the upper lip, it often fails to adequately lift the corners of the mouth or improve the width and balance of the lips.
The Modified Perialar Lip Lift, pioneered at our Atlanta facial plastic surgery center in the Buckhead area, removes skin from both under the nose and around the nostrils. This more comprehensive approach offers:
- A more stable and natural-looking lift of the upper lip
- Enhanced tooth show for a brighter, more confident smile
- Shortened vertical lip length, which restores youthful proportions
- Improved harmony between the lips, nose, and surrounding facial features
- Better definition without over-reliance on dermal fillers
In fact, Dr. Stong reports that this method is 40% more effective at rejuvenating the lips and mouth area than the traditional approach, especially when it comes to softening lines around the lips and lifting drooping corners of the mouth.
Benefits for Atlanta Patients
In a vibrant city like Atlanta, where personal image and professional presentation matter, patients increasingly seek subtle yet lasting enhancements that don’t rely on constant maintenance. The Modified Perialar Lip Lift fits perfectly with this lifestyle. With minimal downtime, stitches removed in less than a week, and virtually invisible scars once healed, this procedure is discreet yet transformative.
Most importantly, the results are permanent, requiring no touch-ups or ongoing filler appointments — a major benefit for busy professionals or anyone tired of the temporary fixes.
