Laser Skin Resurfacing (Mouth) Before & After Case 2378

This 59-year-old patient chose Dr. David Stoker’s Traceless Deep Plane Facelift to address facial and neck aging—but she also sought subtle rejuvenation of her upper lip and surrounding skin.

To restore youthful proportions and definition, Dr. Stoker performed a conservative upper lip lift, which shortened the upper lip while enhancing the philtral columns and vermilion border for a naturally fuller appearance. To complement the lift, laser resurfacing was used around the mouth to address vertical lip lines, sun damage, and skin laxity.

The combination of lifting and resurfacing refined the entire perioral region—resulting in smoother texture, enhanced lip shape, and improved skin tone. Now just over two months post-op, the patient's philtrum is more defined, the vermilion border is crisp, and fine lines have visibly softened, all while preserving natural expression.

Working out of Stoker Plastic Surgery in Marina del Rey, he draws on innovative techniques to help patients achieve natural, harmonious results with Lip Lift in Los Angeles.
