As a woman ages, gravity causes the length between the nose and the lips to become longer," said Esser Yuksel, MD, an associate professor of microsurgery and aesthetic surgery in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. "The red part of the lips shows less and less, the lips become narrower and the corners drop."

Benefits of Lip Suspension:

• Provides a subtle, youthful look to the face as a whole


• Shortens the vertical length between the upper lip and nose


• Lifts a sagging lip caused by gravity, genetics, aging, or previous
  rhinoplasty


• Supports and everts the upper lip for a fuller, more youthful pout without
  fillers


• The vertical length between lip and nose is an important facial
  measurement. A short upper lip is one of the characteristics used by
  modeling agencies such as Ford to evaluate facial beauty.


• The lip suspension technique is a non-invasive procedure that can be
  preformed in the office with local anesthetic. Healing time is minimal.
