Lip Lift

This patient chose to undergo a lip lift to address concerns about an aging appearance and diminished red lip show. She wanted subtle rejuvenation, aiming for natural-looking results rather than a dramatic change. With age, the upper lip may elongate and the red portion can appear thinner, which contributed to her interest in a lip lift in Portland.

The lip lift technique shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This creates a balanced, refreshed look and restores more of the visible red lip. Many patients, like the one depicted above, notice improved definition and greater harmony in the lower face after healing. Lip lift procedures can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures for enhanced outcomes, depending on patient goals.

James Chan, MD, performed the upper lip lift for this patient at Réviance Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center in Portland. Dr. Chan, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, brings experience and a careful approach to each procedure. His training and patient-centered care help support natural aesthetic results and a comfortable experience throughout the process.
