Lip Liftin Boston

The static suspension procedure is conducted under general anesthesia and involves harvesting a piece of tensor fascia lata (TFL) from the thigh. This TFL tissue is skillfully used to enhance and lift various facial features, including the corner of your mouth, upper lip, laugh lines, and the base of your nostril. Incisions are made with care to minimize visible scarring. Absorbable stitches are used, and drains are placed, which are removed before leaving the practice.

For the in-office suture suspension, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort. This procedure takes about 60 to 90 minutes and involves making a small incision in your temporal hairline. Tiny nicks are made in the nasolabial fold, and permanent sutures are threaded from the fold to the temporal region, lifting the midface. Sutures are absorbable, dissolving entirely within three weeks.
