While lip injections may seem like a low-commitment solution for enhancing your lips, they require regular maintenance. If you’re looking for a permanent solution to reshaping your pout for a fuller, more youthful, and balanced appearance, you’re in the right place.
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we’ve mastered the art of lip surgery in NYC to enhance your facial harmony—and your confidence—long-term. Here’s how the advanced, personalized procedures work.
What is a lip lift?
A lip lift is a surgery that involves removing a small portion of skin around your lips to enhance their natural shape and increase the height of the red portion, called the vermillion, without over-plumping. We recommend a permanent lip lift for patients struggling with concerns such as:
- Asymmetry
- Appearance of frowning
- Dental hooding
- Fine lines around the lips
- Hooded corners of the lips
- Non-visible red lip pigment
- Thin lips
Lip lift surgery offers a more defined and youthful look that suits your features without the risks of implants or other treatments that rely on external products, including lip injections in NYC.
Full Lip Lifts
A full lip lift, otherwise known as a subnasal or bullhorn lip lift, removes skin in the area between your upper lip and mouth (the philtrum) to shorten the distance between them. This approach creates a fuller, more prominent pout by lifting the entire upper lip, also showing more of the pink inner lip.
Corner Lip Lifts
A corner lip lift focuses on repositioning the corners of the mouth, turning them upward for a more positive expression at rest and extending the upper vermillion to the corner of the mouth. This procedure only consists of making incisions at the corners of the mouth, removing a much smaller amount of skin than a full lift.
We recommend this kind of lip surgery in NYC for those struggling with a down-turned mouth at rest—whether it be due to genetics or aging—whereas we may suggest a full lip lift for patients interested in increasing the appearance of fullness in the upper lip.
Work With a Renowned Lip Surgeon
Patients trust Dr. Steven Pearlman, who is uniquely dual board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology—head and neck surgery (ENT)—to perform their lip lifts for good reason. His track record of successful transformations speaks for itself.
