Hello everyone!

In this blog post, Iโll guide you through the most common types of lip surgeries I perform, explain the procedures, and showcase the before-and-after results. Whether you're struggling with drooping lip corners, excessive lip volume, or flat upper lip lines, this guide is for you.
Letโs dive into the details!
1. Corner Lip Lift Surgery
Overview:
The corner lip lift, also known as a mouth corner lift, is designed to elevate drooping corners of the mouth. This condition is often caused by the natural anatomy of the surrounding muscles pulling the corners downward.
Procedure:
- An incision is made in a small "<>" shape along the corners of the lips.
- Excess skin is removed, and the muscles responsible for pulling the corners down are adjusted.
- The corners of the mouth are lifted to a natural, upward position.
Results:
This surgery can significantly improve facial harmony, leaving patients with a more approachable and youthful appearance.

2. Cupid Line Lip Surgery
Overview:
The Cupidโs Bow surgery enhances the natural curvature of the upper lip, creating a soft, wavy shape that adds charm and femininity.
Procedure:
- A small incision is made along the upper lip.
- Excess skin is removed to sculpt the iconic โCupidโs Bowโ shape.
Results:
Patients achieve an aesthetically pleasing lip shape without noticeable scarring.

3. Lip Reduction Surgery
Overview:
Lip reduction surgery decreases the volume of the upper or lower lips for patients who feel their lips are excessively thick. This procedure is popular among patients with naturally fuller lips, often from Western or South Asian backgrounds.
Procedure:
- An incision is made along the inner part of the lips.
- Excess tissue is removed to achieve a smaller, more proportional shape.
Results:
The lips become more refined while maintaining their natural appearance. Healing is typically fast due to the rich blood supply in the lips.

4. Lateral Philtrum Reduction Surgery (For Rolled-In Upper Lips)
Overview:
This surgery, known as "lateral philtrum reduction," corrects upper lips that roll inward, often giving the mouth a triangular or "inverted V" appearance.
Procedure:
- An incision is made along the outer philtrum.
- Excess tissue is removed, allowing the upper lip to roll outward naturally.
Results:
The procedure not only reduces the lateral philtrum but also enhances the natural fullness of the upper lip.

5. Lip Lift Surgery (Central Philtrum Reduction)
Overview:
This popular surgery shortens the philtrum (the space between the upper lip and the nose) while increasing the visible height of the upper lip. Itโs ideal for patients seeking a more youthful appearance and better lip proportions.
Procedure:
- An incision is made along the base of the nose.
- Excess skin is removed, and the muscles are adjusted.
- The philtrum is shortened, and the upper lip is subtly lifted.
