Revealing the Lip That Time Has Hidden
One of the earliest and most overlooked signs of facial aging is lengthening of the upper lip. As the skin stretches and the lip elongates, the upper lip begins to roll inward, concealing the natural vermilion and reducing upper incisor show— a subtle but powerful marker of youth and vitality. The result is a flatter, more aged appearance and a loss of the sensual pout that once gave the face softness and balance.
Dr. Janak Parikh’s lip lift restores ideal proportion by shortening the distance from the base of the nose to the lip and unfurling the upper lip — revealing volume, enhancing curvature, and reintroducing a naturally youthful expression.
Restoring Proportion & Expression
- Increases upper tooth show in repose
- Unveils the hidden vermilion for a fuller, more sensual lip
- Rebalances facial proportions in a subtle but impactful way
- Performed comfortably in-office under local anesthesia with minimal downtime
Corner Lip Lift: Uplift the Expression
To further refine and rejuvenate the mouth, Dr. Parikh may recommend a corner lip lift, particularly for those with downturned oral commissures or a naturally short vermilion span. This elegant enhancement:
- Lifts the outer corners of the mouth to brighten and soften the expression
- Extends the visible vermilion border along the full length of the lip
- Pairs seamlessly with a central lip lift for full-length balance and harmony
