Athenix offers 4 types of Lip Lifts:
Direct Lip Lift (Gullwing Lip Lift): This technique produces a lip border that is more clearly defined. Just above the upper lip, a small section of skin is removed, and the skin is then pushed upwards to give the appearance of a more pronounced vermillion (the pink part of the lips). Usually, this treatment produces a scar near the top lip.
Subnasal Bullhorn: One of the more popular Athenix Lip Lift techniques, where the surgeon will make an incision along the base of the nose, where it is less obvious. The center, right, and left of the lip are all dragged up toward the nose, and the incision is frequently done in the shape of a bullhorn.
Central Lip Lift: Similar to the Subnasal Bullhorn procedure, the surgeon will make an incision at the lower nose, which reduces the distance between the nose and the lips.
Corner Lip Lift (Grin Lift): This technique is an ideal choice for those who believe their lips are turned down.Two tiny incisions are made at the corners of the mouth, and a small amount of skin is scraped away. Some people will undergo this with another lip lift for bigger lips.
