The lip lift helps shorten the distance between the upper lip and the nose. With age or with heredity the upper lip of a person may droop and the skin may become loose. The Lip lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that will help to enhance the pink part of your upper lip and lift your drooping uppers lips to give you a broader smile. The procedure may be supplemented with lip augmentation to give your lip a fuller look.
Who can have a Lip Lift?
The procedure is well suited for people who have a drooping upper lip structure and a less 
pronounced pink portion of the upper lip due to age or heredity. If you want to have a more appealing lip structure that will accentuate your smile you should definitely consider going forward with the procedure. Patients who have recently had a Rhinoplasty also complain of a longer region between upper lip and nose and hence need to have an upper lip surgery done to reduce the difference.
Procedure for Lip Lift
One should always go forth and have a thorough discussion with his plastic surgeon before opting for the procedure. The operation usually takes about 45 minutes.

Another procedure called down-turned corners is done in a similar way but the cut is made on the sides of the mouth which helps make the mouth looks more attractive. The cuts are sewn by extremely fine sutures that are removed after 4-5 days after the operation. All the treatments are performed after administering local anesthesia.
