Recognizing High-Risk Lip Surgery Candidates: Addressing Droopy Corners (Ptosis)

In the third episode of the "Dangerous Lips" series, we focus on the challenge of totic wings, or droopy corners, in lip surgery.

When the vermilion (the red part of the lips) thins and collapses at the sides, patients may require more than just a standard lip lift. In these cases, a wing lift—a procedure involving a small incision to elevate the corners—is often necessary.

Surgeons should carefully evaluate these cases, as they require additional techniques for optimal results.
