What is lip advancement for men?
Lip advancement is also known as “lip enhancement” or “vermilion advancement.” It’s a surgical procedure with a goal of expanding your pink lip tissue so that it’s much more noticeable. Dr. Elizabeth does this by making an incision along the vermilion (pink part of your lips) border and removing a small amount of skin to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip and/or between the lower lip and the chin. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia and can be customized depending on the patient’s desired outcome.

Before & After: Lip Advancement for Men
What can I expect during a lip advancement?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Elizabeth will discuss with you your personal lip enhancement goals and design a personalized treatment plan. Once all expectations have been discussed and your surgery is scheduled, she’ll begin your procedure by fully numbing your lips. You will also have the option for oral sedation, but most men don’t feel the need for it. Dr. Elizabeth will make an incision along the vermilion border and carefully remove a predetermined amount of skin. Once the skin is removed, the vermilion is pulled outward and upward and incisions are sutured into place. This increases the size and shape of your lips in the customized way you desire

For most men electing this procedure, recovery is relatively quick with only a few days of downtime needed. Expect some swelling for the first few days (the majority of which for about a week), but that will gradually an completely resolve over the course of a few weeks. We recommend you avoid any strenuous activity for the first week after your procedure. After about seven days, Dr. Elizabeth will remove your sutures. Your lips will likely feel tight initially, which is completely normal, but that sensation most often relaxes and become unnoticeable in the weeks following treatment. You can opt for prescription pain medication during the healing process, but many men find over-the-counter medication sufficiently takes care of any discomfort. Any scarring will gradually fade over time.
