PROCEDURE

This is a simple and quick procedure that is performed under local anaesthetic that produces a great effect, in the right person. A small incision is made at the base of the nose and excess tissue is removed to shorten an elongated upper lip with an instant rejuvenating effect. It is frequently performed at the same time as a facelift or facial fat transfer.
