About this procedure
A Corner Lip Lift gently elevates the outer corners of the mouth to create a brighter, more youthful smile. By correcting a downturned appearance, the procedure helps patients look more approachable, refreshed, and cheerful while maintaining a natural facial expression.
Procedure
- 1
Consultation & Facial Assessment — Your surgeon evaluates your lip shape, mouth corners, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals to determine the ideal amount of lift.
- 2
Anesthesia — The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and virtually painless experience.
- 3
Precise Incision Placement — Small incisions are carefully made at the outer corners of the mouth, following the natural contours of the lips.
- 4
Corner Elevation — A small amount of skin is removed, allowing the corners of the mouth to be gently lifted into a more youthful and upward position.
- 5
Closure — The incisions are meticulously closed with fine sutures to promote optimal healing and minimize visible scarring.
Surgical Method
The corner lift is performed in three precise steps that rebalance the muscles around the mouth for a naturally upturned result.
Step 1 · Incision & Muscle Balancing
After minimal incisions are made at both corners, the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down are weakened while the muscles that lift the corners are relatively strengthened.
Step 2 · Lifting the Muscle
The muscle direction is lifted toward the upper-outer side, raising the corners of the mouth.
Step 3 · Micro-Suture Closure
The corners are finished with fine micro-sutures for clean healing and minimal scarring.
