Corner Lip Lift? Smile Lift?

Another alternative to perfect the pout is the corner lip lift or the “smile lift,” which can lift drooping corners of the mouth caused by aging.

According to Dr. Sanjay Grover, a Newport Beach plastic surgeon, "as we age, the distance from the base of the nose to the colored lip thins and lengthens, resulting in less visibility of the upper incisors."

He also says "unlike a traditional lip lift, which involves shortening the length between the nose and the upper lip to create a fuller-looking top lip, a corner lip lift involves removing one to three millimeters of skin at the junction of the lip border at the corner."

“The best candidates for a corner lip lift are patients that appear to show no or very little lateral lip,” says Pallo Alto, CA facial plastic surgeon David Lieberman, MD. “It looks as if their lip is fuller, centrally, but the fullness and the lip line rapidly taper downward laterally, toward the corners. This can be due to general anatomy, a prior traditional lip lift, or it can develop through the aging process.”

The state of skin in your 60s is largely influenced by the decades that came before it. Dr Andrew T. Cohen, an Encino, CA based plastic surgeon says “as we age, our face and body lose volume and become less contoured. To offset this, fat transfer and fillers can help replace that volume and create contour and fullness for a more youthful appearance."

5 of the recommended procedures in your 60's include:

- CO2 Laser
- TCA Peels
- Neck Rejuvenation (with Sculptra and Thermage)
- Fat Transfer
