Around the Mouth Surgery
At The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery our board certified plastic surgeons are specialists in refining and restoring the area around the mouth. If you are concerned about the effects of the aging process and damage from overexposure to the sun on the area around the mouth, let me invite you to consult with one of Austin-Weston's surgeons. It is certainly no secret that as we age we begin to see our lips thin and lose the voluptuous volume they once had. Lines and creases begin to appear around the mouth especially at the corners from years of smiling, laughing and an occasional frown.
Dr. George Weston, Dr. Robert Sigal and Dr. Byron Poindexter have all pioneered many new and innovative techniques for addressing those small lines and wrinkles in and around the mouth. Using smaller incisions that can be cosmetically hidden at the corners of the mouth, our surgeons are able to smooth out and fill most problem areas. Combined with other facial rejuvenation and refinement options, such as eyelid surgery, a chin or cheek implant, Fraxel™ Laser treatments, cosmetic fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic, your face and the area around your mouth can be restored to a youthful more natural appearance.
As you age, three key areas change around your mouth, which facelift surgery does not address.
- Distance between your upper lip and nose increases
- Upper lip thins out
- Corners of your mouth turn down
Procedure: Around the mouth surgery can be a combination of several procedures that are often done together to achieve maximum results. A Lip Lift is done to lift the central component of upper lips. A Corner Mouth Lift lifts the corners of your mouth. These two procedures are often done together. Other procedures may include adding fullness to your lips and filling in the lines around the mouth. This is done with either a fat transfer or filler such as Juvederm. Resurfacing of Perioral area is done to smooth the area around your mouth. Your doctor may possibly recommend doing both the resurfacing and filler/fat transfer together.
