Lip Procedures
Lip surgery tailored to facial balance, proportion and natural expression
Lip procedures focus on refining the relationship between the upper lip, teeth, nose and surrounding facial features.
Treatment planning is subtle and proportion-led, with the aim of improving balance without creating an exaggerated or artificial appearance.
Lip Balance & Proportion
Refining the upper lip while preserving natural facial character
The upper lip plays an important role in facial expression, smile balance and the relationship between the nose, mouth and chin.
An upper lip lift may be considered where the distance between the nose and upper lip appears long, or where improved upper lip show is desired.
The aim is to create subtle improvement in proportion rather than volume-led enhancement.

Treatment Planning
Planning around the nose, upper lip, teeth and smile
Lip surgery should be planned in relation to the wider face, not just the lip itself.
Upper lip length
The distance between the nose and upper lip is assessed carefully.
Tooth show
The amount of tooth show at rest and when smiling helps guide planning.
Facial proportion
The lip is considered in relation to the nose, chin and lower face.
Natural expression
The aim is to preserve movement and avoid overcorrection.
