Like elsewhere in the body, the upper lip will lengthen with age as it loses skin elasticity. A long upper lip contributes to the appearance of facial ageing. As such, an upper lip lift is an increasingly popular procedure to reduce signs of ageing and increase the appearance of full looking lips. This can also be done to improve your smile if your upper teeth are always hidden below a long upper lip.
