A more complete approach to the lip lift!

The perialar lip lift is a refined technique designed to create a naturally lifted, balanced, and fuller upper lip. Unlike a traditional lip lift, Dr. Stong’s approach extends slightly around the nostrils—allowing for a more comprehensive improvement across the entire lip, not just the center.

This technique shortens the space above the lip, increases pink lip show, enhances tooth show when smiling, and creates a more youthful overall balance. Incisions are carefully placed along the natural curves of the nostrils so they heal very discreetly.

Recovery is straightforward, with sutures removed around day 4–5 and about 1–2 weeks of swelling or bruising. Results continue to refine over the next 1–3 months.

Dr. Stong is a double board-certified, fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon and Director of the Advanced Perialar Lip Lifting Center of Excellence.

Refined and built to last ✨

This 35 year old patient is shown just 3 months after rhinoplasty by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong.

Dr. Stong performs rhinoplasty using an open approach, allowing full visibility of the nasal structure for precise shaping and long term support. The goal isn’t to change your identity — it’s to refine proportions, improve balance, and create a result that ages well over time.

Every rhinoplasty consultation includes a personalized morphing session, so you can visualize potential changes and align clearly on your goals before surgery.

Recovery is structured and predictable: sutures are removed around day 4–5, the cast comes off at 1 week, and most patients are back to daily activities shortly after — with swelling continuing to improve in the months that follow.

3 months in — and this is just the beginning of her final result.

6 months post-op and beautifully balanced.

This 40 year old patient underwent a revision perialar lip lift + V to Y lower lip augmentation to restore a more natural, youthful lip shape.

The perialar lip lift elevates the entire upper lip—not just the center—creating a smooth, even lift from corner to corner. It shortens the upper lip, increases red lip show, and enhances tooth show without looking overdone.

The V to Y lower lip augmentation complements this by bringing more of the natural pink lip outward—enhancing shape and fullness without filler or added bulk.

Together, these procedures improve lip balance, definition, and overall harmony. At 6 months, everything has softened and settled into a natural, long lasting result.

Fuller lips, without filler!

V to Y lip augmentation is a surgical technique designed to increase red lip show — the pink portion of the lip — creating a fuller, more defined look through repositioning, not volume.

Instead of injecting HA filler, Dr. Stong uses a precise internal technique:
A small “V” incision is made inside the lip and advanced into a “Y” closure, gently rolling the lip outward.

What it improves:
• More visible pink lip
• Better definition and shape
• Natural fullness without added bulk
• Balanced, refined lip proportions

Performed in-office under local anesthesia, this is a long lasting option for patients who want structural enhancement — not temporary volume.

For patients with a longer upper lip, this can be combined with a perialar lip lift to further enhance balance, tooth show, and overall lip aesthetics.

A more defined lip, built to last.

Pre-op is where the plan comes together.

This patient is preparing for a KalosLift deep plane facelift and perialar lip lift—two procedures designed to restore structure, not just tighten or add volume. The KalosLift focuses on lifting the mobile SMAS and repositioning the midface vertically to bring the cheeks back up and define the jawline, while advanced platysma techniques refine the neck with long-term support. The perialar lip lift refines the upper lip from corner to corner—shortening both height and width, increasing red lip and tooth show, and softening nasolabial folds.

Performed by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong at the Advanced Deep Plane Facelift Center of Excellence in Atlanta, where the approach is precise, structural, and built for natural, lasting results.

The future of facelifts is here.

At Kalos, our Advanced Deep Plane Facelift Center of Excellence is built on precision, experience, and results that last. Dr. Benjamin Stong is a deep plane facelift specialist known for a refined approach that restores structure while keeping you looking like yourself.

The technique centers on a true vertical midface lift, elevating the cheeks to a more youthful position while improving the jawline. A comprehensive platysmaplasty, both central and lateral, creates a smooth, defined neck from every angle.

What sets this apart is the level of support. The lifted tissues are secured to the bone through periosteal suspension, allowing for results that are not only natural, but long lasting.

An added benefit is improvement in the lower eyelid area. By restoring midface volume and support, the transition from eyelid to cheek appears smoother and more refreshed without directly operating on the lower eyelids in some cases.

The technique that changed facelifts forever!

The deep plane facelift was first introduced by Sam Hamra, but very few surgeons truly understand how to perform it at a high level. Dr. Stong went on to train as a fellow under Andrew Jacono, refining these concepts and advancing them even further.

At Kalos, this evolution led to the KalosLift — a mini extended deep plane facelift performed through precise incisions.
Kalos is proud to be an Advanced Deep Plane Facelift Center of Excellence — focused entirely on facial surgery and results that look like you, just refreshed.

What makes this different comes down to technique.
Dr. Stong lifts the mobile SMAS layer, not just the fixed SMAS. This allows for a true vertical midface lift — repositioning the cheeks and creating a cleaner, more defined jawline. This achieves a significant vertical elevation of the midface, restoring a more youthful contour.

The deeper layers are then secured to the periosteum (the bone) for longterm support. This includes anchoring over the cheekbones and performing both central and lateral platysmaplasty in the neck, creating a corset-like support that refines the jawline and smooths the neck.

One of the most overlooked benefits — this vertical lift also improves the lower eyelids. By elevating the midface, the transition between the eyelid and cheek is softened, often reducing under eye heaviness without directly operating on the eyelid itself.

These are not basic facelift techniques. They require a deep understanding of facial anatomy, advanced training, and experience performing true deep plane surgery.

At 6 months post op, this patient shows what a deep plane facelift can achieve. Dr. Stong’s KalosLift focuses on lifting the mobile SMAS and restoring the midface vertically, bringing the cheeks back to a more youthful position while refining the jawline.

Paired with upper blepharoplasty to address heaviness and lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition to smooth the under eye hollowing, the result is a brighter, more rested appearance without looking overdone.

It’s not just volume loss!
As we age, facial changes are often misunderstood as simply “losing volume.” In reality, much of what we see is volume redistribution—fat pads descend from their youthful position. This creates heaviness in the lower face, flattening through the midface, and deepening folds. Adding volume alone without correcting this descent can lead to an artificial appearance.

A deep plane facelift addresses the root cause. By releasing and vertically repositioning the deeper facial structures (mobile SMAS), Dr. Stong restores tissue back to its original position—lifting the midface, refining the jawline, and reestablishing youthful proportions. The goal isn’t to “add” volume, but to restore balance—bringing the face back to its natural ratios.

At Kalos, this is refined through the KalosLift—Dr. Stong’s advanced mini extended deep plane facelift. With an emphasis on vertical lift (often 75–85%), periosteal fixation, and comprehensive neck contouring, the technique is designed for both natural aesthetics and long-term structural support.

Kalos is recognized as the Center of Excellence for Deep Plane Facelifting, with an exclusive focus on advanced facial plastic surgery.

The result is subtle yet dramatic—natural definition, balanced contours, and a refreshed appearance that still looks like you.

Most upper blephs miss this.

During this case, Dr. Stong starts with an upper blepharoplasty and focuses on a detail that makes a major difference in the final result — how the incision is extended laterally.

Many surgeons use a semi-circular incision. While that can address central eyelid skin, it often leaves residual hooding at the outer corner of the eye.

Dr. Stong extends the incision laterally to fully address that excess skin. This allows for a smoother contour across the entire upper eyelid, especially in the lateral third where aging is most visible. The result is a cleaner rejuvenation — without that lingering heaviness on the outer eye.
