This vibrant 73-year-old woman sought facial rejuvenation after feeling that her features no longer reflected her energy and spirit. Her main concern was her elongated upper lip, which had lengthened with age, making the lower third of her face appear heavy and aged. In addition, she had experienced volume loss in the midface and perioral area, contributing to a tired look.
A subnasal lip lift was performed to shorten the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, restoring a more youthful lip proportion and exposing more of the pink vermilion for a naturally fuller appearance. Fat transfer was added to the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and lips to restore lost volume and soften facial shadows.
The result is a face that looks more harmonious, lifted, and vibrant — not overdone. Her lips are now in proportion to her other features, enhancing the overall balance of her face and subtly reversing signs of aging without the need for fillers or implants.
