Today, I want to clarify a common misconception about lip lifts—whether they actually increase the volume of the upper lip.
While a lip lift exposes more of the red lip, giving the illusion of added fullness, it doesn't actually add volume. Think of it like unrolling a ball; as more of the red lip becomes visible, it appears fuller, but no new volume is created.
The procedure simply changes the distribution of the existing tissue, not the amount.
