What Is A Lip Lift?
At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we specialize in minimally invasive aesthetic treatments aimed at improving the natural beauty of the face and body. One such treatment is the lip lift, a procedure that reshapes the curves of the lip to create a more defined, alluring appearance. Our medical director, Dr. Lawrence Iteld, is an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs lip lifts for patients throughout the world who want to enhance their features. If you're curious about whether or not lip lift surgery is right for you, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Iteld and the team at our Chicago, IL office.
How Does A Lip Lift Work?
Depending on your needs and goals, Dr. Iteld can take several possible approaches to your lip lift surgery. The most common lip lift techniques are:
- Gull-wing lip lift: This approach is typically used to boost the appeal of the vermilion, also known as the lip line that shapes the crests of the Cupid's bow. For this surgery, the skin tissue is meticulously excised, and the lips are lifted and reshaped to boost the depth of the vermilion.
- Sub-nasal lip lift: During this procedure, a tiny section of skin from underneath the nose is removed and then raised and stitched into the correct position under it. This lifting surgery helps the lips to look fuller and larger, adding volume to the vermilion and Cupid's bow.
What Are the Benefits of A Lip Lift?
If you want to enhance the look of your smile and overall facial appearance, customizable lip lift surgery at our Chicago, IL office can help with benefits that include:
- Enhancing overall balance for a more symmetrical appearance
- Improves confidence and self-image
- Minimizes the appearance of smoker's lines (on the upper lip)
- Lifts the corners of the mouth
- Little to no scarring
- Non-narcotics approach means a more comfortable recovery
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Iteld and his team. Everything from the consult -> surgery -> post OP care has been extremely thorough and attentive. Dr. Iteld is very caring and a professional in every manner. Would recommend him to everyone!!Additionally, the rest of the team has been such a pleasure to interact with. Shout out to Caryle and Ashley. I look forward to my appointments because I get to interact with these lovely people!!
I had the most positive experience with Dr Iteld. He was thoughtful and thorough and I trusted him 100% with my surgery. It turned out even better than I imagined. His meticulous attention to detail is top notch, and his pain-free, non-narcotic recovery regimen is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend anyone to Dr Iteld’s practice for cosmetic surgery, and would also recommend Kimmy, their nurse aesthetician, for facial balancing. Such an awesome experience all around.
Incredible Work - I had the most positive experience with Dr Iteld. He was thoughtful and thorough and I trusted him 100% with my breast augmentation and mastopexy surgery. It turned out even better than I imagined. His meticulous attention to detail is top notch, and his pain-free non-narcotic recovery regimen is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend anyone to Dr Iteld’s practice for cosmetic surgery, but especially for a personalized, well contemplated breast surgery.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr Iteld and his team. They were very accommodating and helpful. They went above and beyond my expectations especially their Nurse specialist.
Amazing! - Dr. Iteld is absolutely amazing! The process has been so seamless from start to finish and his staff is fantastic. I had a breast augmentation and I have felt absolutely zero pain since my procedure (which is such a different experience my friends had with other surgeons). I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Iteld!
