Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon Develops Advanced Lip Lift Technique and Launches Dedicated Lip Lift Center of Excellence
Atlanta facial plastic surgeon Dr. Benjamin Stong has launched the Lip Lift Center of Excellence at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, which focuses on advanced lip lift surgery and customized lip enhancement procedures. This initiative comes as patient interest in lip enhancement increases, with many seeking natural-looking results that extend beyond simply adding volume.
The Center of Excellence is anchored by Dr. Stong's Perialar Multivector Lip Lift™, a technique he developed to overcome limitations found in traditional lip lift methods. Dr. Stong noted that patients often confuse fuller lips with the need for increased volume, stating, "Our philosophy is to focus on structure first. When the lips are properly positioned and balanced within the face, patients often achieve more natural and harmonious results."
A double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Stong completed advanced fellowship training under Dr. Andrew Jacono. He has observed that traditional subnasal lip lift techniques tend to only lift the central portion of the upper lip, which limits overall improvement. The Perialar Multivector Lip Lift™ aims to enhance both central and lateral lip anatomy by applying a multi-vector approach.
This method offers several benefits, including improved lip positioning, increased vermilion show across the entire upper lip, enhanced smile dynamics, better lateral lip support, and a more youthful smile. According to Dr. Stong, this approach illustrates a broader philosophy that prioritizes facial balance and individualized treatment, accommodating different anatomical concerns and aesthetic goals for each patient.
The Center of Excellence also features other procedures such as V to Y Lip Augmentation, Corner Mouth Lip Lift, and Lip Reduction Surgery. Dr. Stong emphasized the importance of providing a range of advanced procedures, noting that "different patients have different anatomy, different goals, and different needs." The Lip Lift Center of Excellence aims to meet the evolving demands of patients by offering tailored solutions focused on facial balance and natural expression rather than solely on volume.
