A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip, creating a fuller and more youthful appearance to the lips. The procedure involves making an incision just below the nose and removing a small amount of skin to elevate the upper lip.

The distance between the nose and lip can increase with aging due to a combination of factors, including the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, gravity, and the natural aging process. As the skin loses elasticity, the upper lip can appear elongated, making the lips look thinner and less full.

It's important to note that a lip lift is a surgical procedure and should only be performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.It’s important to understand your goals and anatomy to determine if a lip lift is appropriate and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best possible results.
