Microneedling Treatments in St. Petersburg, FL
Microneedling, a minimally invasive skincare procedure involving small needles to create micro-channels in the skin, not only stimulates the natural healing response and enhances skincare product absorption but also stands out for its collagen-boosting benefits. Remarkably, one microneedling treatment is equivalent to the collagen production typically achieved over the course of a year. This makes microneedling an efficient and effective method for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenating the overall appearance. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, ensuring a cumulative and lasting impact on collagen synthesis.
The Benefits of a Lip Lift
Patients often realize that their lips are thinner than they once were. This is the result of natural volume loss, a decrease in soft tissue, and sagging. A lip lift adds fullness and definition to the upper lip to revitalize the lips’ appearance.
Lifting the upper lip also makes your teeth more visible when you smile. Additionally, by shortening the area between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip, facial balance is greatly improved.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Lip Lift?
The ideal candidates for a lip lift are patients who want to enhance the appearance of their lips. Patients must be in good overall health and must have realistic goals and expectations. Non-smokers are preferred, and smokers must quit before the date of the surgery.
The best way to determine if a lip lift is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anthony. He will be able to carefully examine your lips and ask about your goals so that he can create a personalized surgical plan.

Is It Better to Choose a Lip Lift or Lip Fillers?
At Anthony Aesthetics, not only do we perform surgical lip lifts, we also provide lip-enhancing filler injections. Patients may be wondering which lip-augmentation option is best for them.
Fillers add volume to the lips and are a great option for some patients. However, as we age, the distance between our nose and upper lip lengthens, and in some patients, this causes the upper lip to rotate inward and appear thinner. For these patients, a lip lift can be an excellent option and achieve a more youthful appearance.
How a Lip Lift is Performed
Every patient has specific aesthetic concerns they want to address regarding the appearance of their lips. There are a variety of techniques and approaches that surgeons utilize to perform a lip lift.
Dr. Anthony performs the bullhorn lip lift, also known as the subnasal lift. This approach focuses on shortening the gap between the nostrils and the upper lip. As we get older, many people notice that the space between the upper lip and nostrils increases, giving the lips and face a more aged appearance.
During a lip lift, incisions are made just beneath the nose. Excess tissue may be removed, and the upper lip will be pulled upward to shorten the space between the lip and the nose. Lifting the upper lip will give it a fuller appearance and will expose more of the pink lip tissue. Care and precision are used to ensure the upper lip has an attractive and symmetrical appearance.
Lip Lift Recovery
There is minimal downtime needed following a lip lift. Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are to be expected. Most patients will only need a short recovery period before they can resume their normal activities.
