Can A Corner Upper Lip Lift Be Repeated?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a corner lip lift with Dr Eppley about ten years ago and due to aging, I am interested in having another one and want to see if that’s possible.

A:In looking at your preop pictures from ten years ago I suspect you had lateral vermilion advancements due to upper lip vermilion disproportion. Lateral vermilion advancements are often confused with corner of mouth lifts because of some similar effects at the corners. Regardless such lateral upper lip procedures can certainly be repeated.
