The procedure typically includes:

Step Two: Incision Placement:
A small incision is made at the base of the nose, hidden in the natural creases, to minimize visibility. Occasionally, a small incision is also required at the corner of the lips.
Step Four: Tissue Adjustment
Excess skin is removed, and the upper lip is subtly lifted to create the desired contour and height.
Step Five: Surgical Closure
Precise suturing to optimize scarring and optimal healing.
