Lower Lip Lift: The Newest Innovation in Lip Augmentation

Not unlike faces, breasts, and bums, lips are also likely to become sad victims of time as the years wear on, losing the elasticity and fullness so indicative of youth. While injections, lip augmentation surgery, and semi-effectual, over the counter lip-plumpers are hot on the market, if you're looking for a permanent solution without major surgery or the injection of foreign substances such as collagen into your body, Dr.Randal Haworth's lower lip lift may just be the answer.

Taking less than 20 minutes and performed under local anesthesia or "twilight" sedation, the surgery begins with an incision inside the front of the lip followed by a tightening of the muscle underneath. As stated by Dr. Haworth, the procedure involves "an internal tissue rearrangement, by moving the inside skin of the lip upwards and outwards, and also in the process, tightening the muscle." The results are apparent: fuller, tighter, younger looking lips.

Recovery from Dr. Haworth's lower lip lift is generally quick, although most patients report some swelling and tightness for two to four weeks following the procedure. According to Dr. Haworth, he has performed the surgery more than 30 times in the past six months with approximately 90-percent of his patients reporting a 75-percent improvement.

Costing between $1,000 and $1,500, Dr. Haworth is currently the only plastic surgeon in the United States who offers the lower lip lift. For more information, or to make an appointment, contact Dr. Haworth.
