This is an excellent solution for patients with a long upper lip (often in aging) , through a incision just below the nose.
The lip is fixed a the septum, and thus lifted, with an inconspicuous scar. Also often done in FFS surgery, as in young females, the upper lip is shorter than in males.
A short upper lip is a sign of youth.
Technique
Either skin, or skin and orbicularis muscle excision , through an 4-6 mm invisible skin excision at the base of the nose.
Healing time
Sutures are removed after 7 days
Swelling for 10 days
