Quick Answer
A lip corner lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that elevates the corners of the mouth to correct a downturned or neutral oral commissure. It is suited for individuals whose mouth corners droop at rest, creating a tired or unhappy facial expression. A small incision is made at each corner to excise a precise amount of skin, physically lifting the commissure into a more neutral or slightly upward position. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham and Toronto, the procedure is personally performed by Dr. Dan Xu, M.D. Results are visible after a single session, with full healing typically over several weeks.
