title: The lip lift.
abstract: Attention is brought to a seldom-considered sign of aging--the lengthening of the upper lip. It is easily corrected by excising a wavy ellipse of lip skin and hiding the scar up under the nose. A vertical midline component may be added. The scars are minimal, and the results have been excellent in 83 patients.
