What does an upper lip lift involve?
An upper lip lift is done in one of several ways. There was a European vogue for making a scar on the vermillion (that is the pink bit of the lip) excising some skin between the vermillion and the nose and lift the lip up. Other surgeons made an incision underneath the nose to lift the lip up. Many of these procedures have been superseded by injecting either fat, or other injectables into the tissues of the upper lip to plump it up – which is of a much better effect without the scars.
