Surgical lip enhancement isn’t always about adding volume, sometimes it’s about restoring balance and proportion.

In this video, Dr. Erin Smith explains the role of a surgical lip lift and why it can be a powerful option for the right patient. By shortening the space between the nose and upper lip, this procedure helps “roll out” the red lip, creating a fuller appearance without relying on filler.

It can also improve upper tooth show for patients who feel their smile looks hidden, as well as enhance the overall shape and presence of the upper lip. In some cases, this approach can even reduce or eliminate the need for lip filler altogether.

If you’re considering lip enhancement, the most important first step is a personalized consultation to determine the best approach for your unique anatomy and goals.

Watch Sarah as she performs Sculptra®, a collagen-stimulating treatment designed to gradually restore natural volume and structural support.

Sculptra® offers a refined approach to facial rejuvenation for men by working subtly beneath the surface to rebuild lost volume and enhance definition. Rather than creating instant fullness, this biostimulatory treatment stimulates your body’s own collagen production over time, helping to strengthen facial structure while maintaining a natural, masculine appearance.

Using a thoughtful, strategic technique, Sarah focuses on areas that matter most for male facial aesthetics, sharpening the jawline, restoring hollow temples, and supporting the mid-face without creating softness or puffiness. The result is stronger angles, improved balance, and a more structured, refreshed look.

Because results develop gradually over several months, the change is subtle and undetectable. You’ll simply look more rested, defined, and like yourself, just elevated. Results can last up to two years.

Sculptra® is an excellent option for men seeking a natural, long-lasting approach to facial rejuvenation without looking overdone.

Targeted, customizable, and designed for real results.

This 46-year-old patient with stable vitiligo wanted to address sun damage and redness that made the contrast between his natural skin and depigmented areas more noticeable. To improve overall skin clarity and create a more even appearance, Nicole Elek, R.N. & certified laser specialist, developed a combined BBL™ and MOXI® treatment plan.

BBL™ (BroadBand Light) was used to target areas of redness and unwanted pigmentation, helping to reduce discoloration and create a more uniform skin tone.

MOXI® was then applied across the full face to gently resurface the skin. This non-ablative laser helped refine texture, soften fine lines, minimize pore size, and improve overall skin quality while safely addressing pigment irregularities.

By layering these technologies, Nicole was able to smooth the skin’s surface and soften the transition between pigmented and depigmented areas, creating a more balanced, refreshed complexion, exactly what this patient came to Buckingham Center to achieve.

Every treatment is personalized to your unique skin concerns, with the goal of achieving natural-looking, meaningful results.

A subtle, strategic approach can make all the difference when it comes to lip and cheek filler.

For the lips, Nicole uses Restylane® Kysse to add soft volume and support while refining shape and improving balance. Small, precise adjustments help enhance symmetry while keeping the lips looking smooth, natural, and never overdone.

In the cheeks, RHA®4 by Revance Aesthetics is placed deeper to create structure and gentle projection. This added support helps enhance the natural contour of the midface and can improve overall facial harmony. By building volume in the cheeks first, it also creates a better foundation for blending and softening surrounding areas.

Every treatment is fully customized, with the goal of enhancing your natural features while keeping everything balanced and refined.

A facelift is much more than a skin tightening procedure. It is a highly specialized surgery designed to restore youthful structure, balance, and definition to the face and neck. While many people assume all facelifts are the same, the training and expertise of the surgeon play a major role in both the technique used and how natural the results look over time.

Facial plastic surgeons have advanced training in the complex anatomy of the face, including the delicate network of nerves, muscles, and deeper support layers that change with age. Instead of simply pulling the skin tight, modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning the underlying structures, such as the SMAS, to create results that appear natural, feel balanced, and age gracefully.

At Buckingham Center, Dr. Edward Buckingham, Dr. Erin Smith, and Dr. Hudson Frey are all double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons who specialize in surgery of the face. They operate on site out of our Quad A certified surgical suites. Every treatment plan is carefully customized to deliver refined, long-lasting results that enhance your natural features.

This beautiful patient in her early 60s came to Dr. Erin Smith hoping to refresh her appearance while restoring more definition through the lower face and neck.

Her main concerns were brow heaviness, jowling, and laxity along the neck that had softened her natural facial contours over time. After a personalized consultation, she chose to move forward with a Lower Facelift with Platysmaplasty and Bilateral Temporal Brow Lift.

At just three months post-op, her results already show a beautiful transformation. The brow lift helped open and brighten the eye area, creating a more refreshed look without changing her natural expression. The lower facelift with platysmaplasty restored a smoother neck contour, improved jawline definition, and softened jowling for a crisp, elegant profile.

She looks naturally rejuvenated, refreshed, and beautifully like herself.

This 65-year-old patient came to Dr. Hudson Frey with long-term concerns about her lower face and neck, especially feeling that a previous procedure elsewhere hadn’t given her the definition she was hoping for.

On evaluation, she had visible jowling, some fullness under the chin, and loose skin throughout the neck. She also had noticeable vertical banding and fullness beneath the jawline, which contributed to a less defined profile.

To address these concerns, Dr. Frey performed a lower facelift and neck lift, along with targeted refinement of the neck area and a revision of her prior liposuction. This approach allowed him to smooth, tighten, and better define the jawline and neck.

In her after photos, you can see a more sculpted jawline, a smoother neckline, and an overall refreshed appearance that still looks natural and true to her.

This 61-year-old patient was primarily concerned with the appearance of her jawline, neck, and marionette lines, and also asked about improving the look of her lower eyelids.

During consultation, Dr. Edward Buckingham noted moderate jowling, early neck laxity, and lower eyelid volume changes that were contributing to a heavier appearance in the lower face. After discussing several options, she chose to proceed with a Limited Incision Lower Facelift.

In her after photos, notice the smoother jawline, improved neck contour, and softening of the marionette lines. Her results create a more youthful, defined lower face while still looking completely natural.

A beautiful example of what long-term aesthetic care can look like.

This patient first came to Buckingham Center in her early 60s seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Buckingham noted sun damage, eyelid heaviness, facial volume loss, jowling, and laxity along the jawline and neck.

To address these concerns, Dr. Buckingham performed an Upper Blepharoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty, Facelift, and Neck Lift, along with liposuction beneath the chin. Fat harvested from the abdomen was transferred to the face to restore volume, and a full-face TCA chemical peel improved skin texture and pigmentation.

Over the years, she has maintained her results with consistent treatments. Nurse injector René uses Dysport® to soften lines in the glabella, forehead, and crow’s feet, while RHA2® filler and SkinVive® help maintain hydration and smoothness around the lips and cheeks. She also receives yearly BBL®/HALO® laser treatments with aesthetic nurse Sarah to keep skin tone even and support collagen production.

Now in her early 70s, she continues to look vibrant and refreshed thanks to a thoughtful combination of surgical and non-surgical care.

This patient in her early 30s wanted a refreshed look while maintaining her natural features.

Nurse injector Sarah performed a full-face Dysport® treatment to the glabella, forehead, crow’s feet, bunny lines, chin, and platysmal bands to soften dynamic lines and create a smoother overall appearance.

To enhance the lips, RHA Redensity® and Restylane® HA filler were used to restore hydration, improve symmetry in the upper lip, and refine the cupid’s bow and vermillion border.

The result is subtle, balanced enhancement with smoother facial lines and naturally defined lips.
