Upper Lip Lift Houston, TX | Boynton Plastic Surgery - James F. Boynton, MD, FACS

Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

As individuals age, the upper lip gradually lengthens, reducing tooth visibility and losing its youthful fullness. A lip lift is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to restore a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing lip appearance by elevating the upper lip's position.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a precision surgical technique that improves the appearance of an elongated upper lip by enhancing its position, restoring tooth show, and creating a more sensual lip contour. Dr. James F. Boynton specializes in the advanced endonasal lip lift technique, which provides exceptionally natural-looking results with minimal visible scarring.

Benefits of a Lip Lift

Reduction of space between nose and mouth
Enhanced upper lip volume and definition
Improved Cupid's bow appearance
Greater tooth visibility
Potential reduction in dermal filler requirements

The Endonasal Lip Lift Technique

Dr. Boynton utilizes the specialized endonasal lip lift technique, developed by Dr. Peter Raphael. This innovative approach creates tissue flaps and uses advanced suturing methods to minimize scarring while effectively elevating and rotating the central upper lip.

Lip Lift Procedure Details

The procedure is typically performed in-office using local anesthesia. Dr. Boynton makes a tiny incision along the base of the nose, creating subtle skin flaps and employing specialized suturing techniques. The entire process usually takes approximately 30 minutes, with patients able to return home immediately after treatment.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect mild swelling and potential bruising following the procedure. Most individuals can return to non-strenuous activities within two to five days. Dr. Boynton provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimal scarring.

Surgical Precision and Scarring

Boynton Plastic Surgery prioritizes discreet incision placement and meticulous technique to ensure virtually undetectable scarring. The endonasal approach allows the incision to be hidden within natural facial contours, promoting an aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Dr. Boynton and his staff have been a God send to me. I was able to have my 20 year old saline breast implants removed in office under local anesthesia. I was treated with the upmost care and professionalism ever! I trust Dr. Boynton with everything! He is kind and listens. He is not pushy or out to make a quick buck. He is an expert in his field without a doubt. You will not have a med spa questionable experience. This is a professional doctor with only your best interest at heart. Please go see him before you go anywhere else! You will not regret it! Shout out to Nurse Rose! You are my favorite human out there! Thank you for making me feel so comfortable! I could not have asked for better!

I recently had power-assisted lipo-contouring of the chest and bilateral nipple reduction performed in office by Dr. James Boynton. My reason for doing so was the result of having had gynecomastia surgery about 20 years ago with another plastic surgeon who has since retired. I felt that there were some residual irregularities that could be further addressed by Dr. Boynton. I met with him at the office and discussed all of my concerns. After reviewing some slides and discussing all of my options, I went with the aforementioned procedure. This was performed fully awake under local anesthesia in little less than an hour. While I had some initial apprehension about forgoing general anesthesia, I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience and result. The pain was minimal to non-existent, and the level of professionalism, skillfulness and care are second to none. The entire staff is great and the communication is outstanding. I highly recommend his practice and the office is free to provide my contact info if anyone wants to hear about my experience in further detail.

Dr. Boynton and his team were incredibly welcoming and compassionate! My mother needed reconstructive surgery after having cancer removed from her ear, and her experience was truly exceptional. Dr. Boynton and his staff treated her like family, ensuring she felt completely at ease throughout the process. Her ear is healing beautifully, and Dr. Boynton provided expert care at every stage. Not only does her ear look amazing, but he also skillfully repaired two complete holes in a single in-office procedure. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication to their patients!

I cannot express enough how good of an experience I had with Dr. Boynton and his team! I had a nanofat procedure with Dr. Boynton a little over a year ago and it was such a great experience for me from start to finish. I inquired about this procedure as I was searching for skin quality rejuvenation after I had experienced damage to my skin from a previous procedure with a different clinic. The moment I met Dr. Boynton I felt listened to and like he truly cared about my situation I was going through with my skin. I had been to other surgeons prior to him where I felt dismissed, unheard, and ultimately very uncomfortable, but Dr. Boynton made me feel the complete opposite - safe, at ease, and understood. I knew I was in good hands and felt confident that I would see an improvement in my skin after the procedure. The procedure itself went SO well. I was very swollen (100% to be expected!), but I hardly had any bruising at all due which I believe was due to Boynton's gentle technique. The area where my fat was taken from also healed beautifully. In just about 3 months time I started to see a huge improvement in the quality of my skin and at 6 months I was blown away with my results. I looked exactly like myself before, but with glowing plump skin, much smaller pores, tightness in areas that were previously starting to sag, and skin that made me finally exude confidence again since my skin damage! I am sooo happy that I found Dr. Boynton and that I chose to get this procedure with him. I highly recommend Dr. Boynton for any and all of your future surgeries!
