    This 68-year-old woman wanted to refresh her facial appearance without looking overdone. She was especially bothered by the lengthening of the area between her nose and upper lip (known as the philtrum) which can contribute to a tired or aged look over time.

    Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez performed a lip lift using a conservative skin excision just beneath the base of the nose. No muscle was disturbed. Her pre-op philtrum measured 1.9 cm; post-operatively, it was reduced to 1.2 cm, a meaningful improvement that brought renewed balance to her midface. In the after photos, you’ll notice the difference is subtle but powerful. At rest, her upper lip appears more defined and the overall expression less downturned. When smiling, more of her teeth show naturally, and her lips look softly supported without the stiffness that fillers or muscle-altering procedures can sometimes cause in older patients.

    This 32-year-old European woman wanted a more defined upper lip and greater harmony in her facial features. She also hoped to show more of her teeth when smiling.

    Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez performed a lip lift by removing a small strip of skin at the base of the nose. No muscle was disturbed, allowing for a natural-looking result and smoother recovery. Her final post-operative philtrum length measured 1.1 cm (11 mm), contributing to a fuller, more defined lip contour and more balanced proportions.

    The procedure was done under local anesthesia, comparable to a dental visit, and took about 90 minutes. It was performed at Dr. Rodriguez’s AAAASF-accredited surgical center in Baltimore.

    As we age, the facial dermis thins and soft tissue volume is lost, especially in the midface. Dr. Rodriguez performed facial fat transfer using the patient’s own fat to rebuild volume and restore smoother, healthier contours. Her results show a natural softening of hollow areas and subtle, graceful rejuvenation.

    This patient in her 60s had two facial procedures with Dr. Rodriguez: a Lower facelift with fat grafting to restore volume, and an extended Neck lift to tighten and refine the neck and jawline. Incisions were carefully placed behind the ears and into the lower hairline to keep them discreet. Recovery takes about two weeks, though most patients can return to work after just 10 days with only mild bruising.

    This patient had a Fat transfer to her cheeks, and Liposuction to the lower face. Thus, fat was added into areas of the face which needed volume, and fat was removed from the lower face to show more definition of the jawline.

    This 67-year-old patient underwent fat grafting to the upper and lower face, liposuction of her jowls, and a lip lift to restore volume, refine her jawline, and enhance facial contours. These procedures work together to create a natural, refreshed look, without the need for a traditional facelift.

    Dr. Rodriguez performed an Upper lip lift (Bullhorn lip lift) on this 38-year-old patient. He excised a small amount of skin from the base of the nose which lifted the lip slightly. The final measurement of the space between the base of the nose and the top border of the upper lip was 1.0 cm (10 mm).
