Restore Youth to Your Smile

Are you self-conscious about the appearance of your lips? Whether they seem thin and droopy or have lost their youthful fullness, a lip lift can significantly enhance them. At Fulcrum Aesthetics in Chicago, we understand that lips are vital to facial beauty. Our expert team, led by Dr. David Hill and nurse practitioner Brittony Croasdell, specializes in creating natural-looking results that enhance your lips' shape and volume, giving you a more balanced and youthful appearance.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This approach creates a more pronounced and youthful lip shape by increasing the visibility of the upper teeth and enhancing the lip's natural contours. The procedure involves making a small incision at the base of the nose and removing a strip of skin to lift the lip. The result is a more defined and fuller upper lip with improved symmetry and balance.
