Corner lip lift
A corner lip lift raises downturned corners of the mouth through small incisions at the corners. AVANT performs it alone, combined with outer philtrum shortening or marionette-line correction, and as revision surgery. It takes 30–60 minutes under local anaesthesia (clinic guidance).
