title: Lip lifting.
abstract: The changing appearance of the upper lip may be a significant component in the "ageing face" syndrome. Its typical features are described. These can be corrected by a simple "lip lift". Complications are few and the manoeuvre has proved to be an excellent adjunct in restoring a more youthful outlook. It has little effect on "purse-string" lines of the upper lip that usually require dermabrasion or a chemical peel.
