Would you do a lip lift for balance or rejuvenation?
One of the most common questions about a lip lift is, “Won’t I have an obvious scar?”
The truth is that every surgical procedure creates an incision, but a well-planned lip lift is designed with healing in mind. Scar placement, surgical technique, tissue support, and tension all influence how the incision matures over time.
In this carousel, Dr. Ruslan explains:
• Why lip lift scars usually become much less noticeable
• Why tension is the enemy of good scar healing
• The difference between a traditional lip lift and a corner lip lift
• What to realistically expect during the healing process
• Why surgical planning matters just as much as the procedure itself
A successful lip lift isn’t just about shortening the philtrum. It’s about improving facial balance, enhancing upper tooth show, creating natural lip proportions, and achieving results that look refreshed—not operated on.
