Lip Lifts with Dr. Shumway | San Diego, CA

Looking like you’ve “had work done” may or may not be a plus for you. Some people really like dramatic changes and exaggerated looks. Others prefer more subtle differences that do not call attention to themselves. When it comes to lip lifting surgery, our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Robert Shumway, can certainly appreciate and help patients with all kinds of preferences. As an accomplished San Diego, CA cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Shumway is proficient in minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, such as a customized lip lift procedure to shorten an elongated upper lip, lip reduction to refine overly full or asymmetric lips, or lip augmentation to enhance volume further if desired.Lip lift surgery can transform the curves and peaks of the lips, providing a newly defined, beautiful mouth. This surgery is minimally invasive, heals rather quickly, and can be performed simultaneously with other cosmetic surgeries or alone. In a private consultation, Dr. Shumway will learn more about you, examine your facial features, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine whether a lip lift surgery will help you meet your lip lift surgery goals.

Who is an Ideal Lip Lift Candidate?

Great candidates for a lip lift want to change the lips beyond just fullness. Reasons for pursuing lip lift procedure options can include:
  • Asymmetrical lips
  • Thin and unshapely lips
  • Lips spaced too close or too far from the nose
  • Lips covering your upper row of teeth
  • Lips always in the “frown” position
During your consultation with Dr. Shumway, please explain your unique needs and specific concerns so that the proper lip procedure can be chosen. At times, patients request a total lip lift surgery when they in fact simply need this gummy smile concealing procedure. Ideal candidates often seek a lip lift procedure to reveal a pinker lip, shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, or refine the corners of the mouth. Others may benefit from targeted lip reduction to slim heavy tissue, or staged lip augmentation to enhance shape and definition. Dr. Shumway will help you understand which blend of these options can safely give you the result you want.
