Dr. DuPéré’s Lip Lift Techniques
Dr. DuPéré is an experienced plastic surgeon who customizes his techniques to meet the specific needs of each patient. He determines which technique to use for your lip lift after he listens to your cosmetic concerns and closely examines the existing shape of your lips.
Dr. DuPéré commonly uses 5 techniques:
- Lifting the corners of the upper lip, aka corner lip lift, results in a wider-looking mouth, which looks more youthful. He makes incisions along the upper right and left lip lines, resulting in very discreet scars that are barely visible.
- Lifting the central two-thirds of the upper lip, aka Bullhorn lip lift, results in a fuller-looking lip and reduces the area between the upper lip and the nose. The procedure is technically demanding and requires the skill and experience of a plastic surgeon such as Dr. DuPéré.
- A suspension of the upper lip muscle to the nasal septum using an incision just under the nose is often combined with one of the techniques described above. It is an efficient way to lift the lip and give more teeth show.
- The Gullwing lip lift and the Italian lip lift are 2 other techniques Dr. DuPéré may suggest depending on your anatomy, your age and your expected result.
If you have other aesthetic concerns, as well, Dr. DuPéré may be able to combine your lip lift with another facial surgery such as a facelift. Combining surgeries is a safe and effective way to get comprehensive results.
