Lip Lift
A lip lift shortens the gap between the nose and the upper lip, so a little more of the pink of the lip shows. It redefines the lip and gives the area around the mouth a younger look. Dr. Jesús Lago operates at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, for patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond.

The Lip Lift in Practice
Under local anesthesia, we remove a strip of skin just below the base of the nose. Shortening the gap between the nose and the lip (the philtrum) lifts the lip and shows more of the vermilion, the pink part of the lip. The scar sits in the natural crease under the nose. You see the result right away, and it lasts.
