During an upper lip lift, a Dr. Azzi removes excess skin between the lips and the nose by creating a tiny incision hidden at the base of the nose in the natural crease. By shortening the distance from the nose to the lip, the upper lip is brought upward and rolled out. The result is fuller lips and improved facial proportions. It is a subtle procedure, yet elegant solution.

 

Very few plastic surgeons are trained to perform such a specialized procedure. Dr. Azzi performs all of his lip lifts right in the office under local anesthesia. The lip lift procedure is almost pain-free and takes about 30 minutes. Recovery is rapid and patients experience very little downtime.
