A Surgical Lip Lift is an elegant and subtle way to improve the contour, symmetry, and vertical height of the upper lip. Dr. Kristy Hamilton uses a small incision immediately along the base of the nose and delicately removes a tiny sliver of skin — to reduce the length of the philtrum (the vertical groove or space between the base of the nose and the border of the upper lip). Over time, the philtrum naturally becomes elongated, unattractively covering the tips of the teeth and aging the face.

Dr. Hamilton meticulously shortens the length of the philtrum — which makes the upper lip appear bigger, improves vertical lip height, and makes the tips of the teeth visible again (when the lips are relaxed), yielding anatomically ideal facial proportions.

An increasingly popular procedure, the beautiful outcome of Dr. Hamilton’s finesse lip lift immediately refreshes and rejuvenates the face, beautifully creating a younger look.
