We are dedicated to providing a comfortable, supportive environment throughout your journey.

Birth defects

Some people are born with lip deformities, such as cleft lip. This congenital condition occurs when the upper lip does not form properly during pregnancy. Unfortunately, a cleft lip makes it harder to speak, eat, or even breathe properly. Lip reconstruction can address these issues and improve the overall function of the lips.

Facial trauma

The skin and muscles of our lips are delicate, making them susceptible to injuries from accidents. A severe lip injury can cause significant changes, impacting not just our appearance but also our self-confidence. If you have visible scarring or loss of tissue due to facial trauma, Dr. Do can review your options for lip reconstruction surgery, including facial fat grafting.

Facial paralysis

Facial paralysis can occur due to various medical conditions, including Bell's palsy and stroke. When one side of the face is affected, it can cause lip asymmetry, making your features appear uneven or droopy. In such cases, our trained team members in Beverly Hills, CA can restore balance to your lips and face.

Skin cancer surgery

At Nicholas Do, MD, we understand that skin cancer surgery can leave behind visible scars on the face and lips. However, our experienced professionals can help you achieve a natural and beautiful restoration with lip reconstruction. Rest assured that we have helped countless skin cancer patients regain their quality of life through our expertise.

Aesthetic reasons

Aside from medical conditions, there are cosmetic reasons for undergoing plastic surgery on the lips. Many people desire fuller, plumper lips to achieve a youthful and attractive appearance. Others may want to correct uneven lips or reduce excessive wrinkles around the mouth. During an appointment at Nicholas Do, MD, we can discuss your goals and recommend the course of action to help you achieve excellent results.
