A particular area of expertise that Dr. Epstein has developed is lip sculpting and the repair of lips that have been scarred or deformed from permanent implants.

Practicing in south Florida for so many years, where a number of patients have had non-licensed clinicians inject such products as liquid silicone and Biopolymer®, he has developed a surgical approach for removing these injectable and surgically placed implants, as well as restoring the natural shape to lips that have been deformed by them.

Most patients require two, sometimes three procedures, in which Dr. Epstein sculpts the lips all from incisions inside the mouth to avoid any visible scarring.  Over the past 10 years, he has performed over 75 of these procedures.

The upper lip lift is designed to shorten the elongated upper lip that may be the result of genetics or of aging. A "gull-wing" incision is made along the nostril rim, where it can be concealed, resulting in more show of the teeth, less length of the upper lip, and an overall more youthful appearance.
