Lip Lift Surgery in Atlanta
Are your lips projecting a sad or angry expression, making you appear unhappy or older than you really are? As we age, the lips, like other facial features, tend to lose fullness and sag. This, combined with the loss of skin elasticity, can elongate the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip. Whether you’re dealing with these signs of aging or have naturally thin or unbalanced lips, an upper lip lift can be an excellent solution to restore a more youthful, happy, and sensual appearance.
Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a highly esteemed facial plastic surgeon, is recognized as one of the leading experts in lip lift procedures. He holds dual board certifications in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Stong is also known for developing the modified perialar lip lift, an advanced technique that improves upon the traditional subnasal lip lift.

Upper Lip Lift Procedures
Dr. Stong offers a variety of surgical techniques to lift the upper lip and enhance its appearance. Two of the most common procedures are the Subnasal (Bullhorn) Lip Lift and the Corner Mouth Lip Lift, both designed to address thinning, sagging, or elongated lips due to aging.
Subnasal (Bullhorn) Lip Lift
The Subnasal Lip Lift is ideal for addressing an upper lip that appears too long, which can often cover too much of the upper teeth when at rest. Dr. Stong places an incision just underneath the shadow of the nose, removing a small strip of skin and tightening the upper lip to raise it to a more ideal position. This technique, refined by Dr. Stong’s innovative modifications, increases the upper lip’s visible volume and restores balance between the upper and lower lips. The result is a more youthful and balanced facial appearance, with scarring that is virtually unnoticeable. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, reducing costs and associated downtime, with most patients fully recovered within a week.
Corner Mouth Lip Lift
A Corner Mouth Lip Lift is perfect for patients whose outer lip corners turn downward, projecting a sad, angry, or aged appearance. Using this technique, Dr. Stong makes small incisions along the edges of the upper outer lips and removes tiny triangular areas of skin at each corner of the mouth. This subtle adjustment allows the lips to have a slight upward turn, creating a more youthful, content, and happy expression.
Who Are the Best Candidates for a Lip Lift?
The best candidates for a lip lift are those who desire:
- More permanent and better results than injectable fillers
