Dr. Gary Motykie's Expertise in Lip Lift Surgery for Full and Luscious Lips

Full, smooth, and alluring lips remain a sought-after facial feature for their ability to enhance smiles and rejuvenate overall facial appearance. Unfortunately, some individuals are naturally predisposed to thin lips, while others experience a gradual loss of lip volume and other aesthetic changes as they age, such as:

• Elongation of the upper lip

• Decreased visibility of the teeth

• A perpetually stern or angry expression due to sagging or drooping of the upper lip

While temporary solutions like dermal fillers can augment lip volume, those seeking a more lasting enhancement may find lip lift surgery to be the ideal solution.

Types of Lip Lift Procedures

Several techniques exist to improve the appearance of the lips:

Following a detailed assessment of your lip enhancement goals and a comprehensive medical evaluation, Board Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie may recommend a surgical lip lift tailored to your unique lip anatomy and aesthetic desires. The treatment plan may incorporate one or more of the following techniques:

• Inner Corner Lip Lift (DAO Release): This method addresses frowning by minimizing drooping at the outer corners of the lips. It is particularly suitable for younger patients without significant sagging or wrinkling around the mouth corners.

• Subnasal Lip Lift (Bullhorn Lift, Gullwing Lift): Designed for patients with elongated upper lips, this technique shortens the distance between the lip and the nose. It enhances the smile and increases tooth visibility.

• Corner Lip Lift: This procedure elevates downturned mouth corners by carefully removing a small section of skin at the oral commissures (corners of the mouth).

• Lip Border Lift: By excising excess skin above the lip border, this technique raises the red lip, enhancing its visibility and improving the overall appearance of the lips.

Dr. Gary Motykie specializes in these advanced lip lift procedures to achieve natural-looking and satisfying results for patients seeking fuller, more youthful lips.
