Upper Lip Lift Before & After Case 184

72 year old female who was concerned with the appearance of her mouth.  She did not like the down turned appearance of the corner of her mouth.  She had tried fillers in the area, but it did not seem to correct the problem as she had hoped.  She found that Dr. Hasen performs mouth rejuvenation with and without cosmetic facial surgery.  Since she did not need a facelift, Dr. Hasen offered her direct excision of the lines (marionette lines) under local with sedation.  Initially, the scar is quite noticeable, but by 3 - 4months it is very imperceptable and easily covered up with make up.  She is shown 9 months after the direct exicison of the marionette lines with no cover-up makeup.
