With age, the distance between the bottom of your nose and upper lip can lengthen and appear too long. This can also partially conceal the upper teeth and contribute to an aged appearance of the mouth, resulting in a loss of harmony, or balance, between the proportions of the lower part of your face. Additionally, a long appearing distance between your nose and upper lip can contribute to a thin appearance of the red part of your upper lip (i.e., vermilion).

Lip-lift is a surgical procedure that helps decrease the length of the upper lip, reveal a more youthful amount of the upper teeth, restore more attractive proportions to your lower face, and improve a thin-appearing upper lip.
