About Lip Lengthening

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform this procedure to address functional and aesthetic concerns, harmonizing the proportions of the lips and gums with the rest of the face. The procedure involves precise surgical manipulation to achieve a balanced and pleasing smile appearance.
