Lip Lift 👄⬆️ The ideal female philtrum (distance between the nose and mouth) is 11-13 millimeters. This distance elongates 0.5-3 millimeters per decade over the age of 18, which can result in a long and heavy lower third of the face. 👄👄👄 A Lip Lift is a 20 minute procedure performed under local anesthesia that restores the contour of this area, using a hidden incision that is nearly invisible by 1 month. This is a surgical specimen from a recent case. 👄👄👄 I love injectables, but getting in a cycle of lip filler when the anatomic issue is a long philtrum is not the ideal solution. 👄👄👄
