Lip Augmentation Before & After Case 353

This patient, a healthcare professional, sought lip augmentation in Washington DC & Arlington to address concerns about the length of her upper lip. She had previously tried fillers and lip injections, but found that these nonsurgical treatments did not reduce the visible length of her upper lip as she desired. Her goal was not to achieve significantly fuller lips, but to create a balanced and healthy appearance that complemented her features.

After consultation, she elected to undergo an upper lip lift, commonly called a bullhorn lip lift, with Houtan Chaboki, M.D. The procedure involved removing a conservative amount of excess skin from beneath the base of the nose. The incision was hidden under the nose to minimize visible scarring. At the same time, Dr. Chaboki addressed several moles on her face, which the patient also wished to have removed.

Four months after her procedure, the patient’s lips have a natural and subtle enhancement. The upper lip appears shorter and more proportionate, in line with her preference for an understated result. She preferred undercorrection to avoid an overdone look, and the outcome reflects her goal to look healthy and vibrant.

Dr. Chaboki focuses on natural-appearing, conservative treatments so that patients look better, not different. As a double board-certified specialist with extensive experience in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Chaboki provides personalized care and honest guidance throughout the process. Patients often benefit from advanced expertise when considering lip augmentation in Washington DC & Arlington.
