An upper lip lift is a precise surgical procedure designed to improve proportions in the central face while preserving a balanced and natural expression.

With age, the upper lip tends to lengthen and roll inward, often reducing upper tooth show at rest and during smiling, creating a heavier or more aged appearance.

Precise Diagnosis Before Treatment Selection

Dr. Fichman’s approach is based on precise diagnosis of lip structure, philtrum length, tooth show, and the relationship between the nose and upper lip.

Not every thin lip requires added volume, and not every concern should be treated with fillers. In many cases, the issue is structural rather than volumetric.

Surgical Principles and Planning

During an upper lip lift, a fine incision is made at the base of the nose, concealed within the natural crease. This allows controlled shortening of the distance between the nose and upper lip.

The result is improved lip position and increased tooth show while maintaining natural proportions.

Surgical planning is based on anatomical measurements and central facial balance, with emphasis on achieving a natural result.

A personal consultation allows for precise evaluation of suitability for the procedure.
