Lauren's Signature

NOMES™ Lip Corner Lift

A lip corner program using absorbable threads to lift downturned corners without skin incisions,
with filler to refine lip shape and contours

NOMES™ Lip Corner LiftLip corner design considers your expression and lip contours together

We assess the direction of your mouth corners at rest and when smiling, correcting only what is needed.
Without incisions, we adjust the direction of the mouth-corner muscles and refine lip volume and contours.

  1. Expression analysis

    We check the direction of the mouth corners and left-right differences at rest and when smiling.

  2. Non-incisional correction

    Absorbable threads reposition the direction of pull from the mouth-corner muscles upward.

  3. Lip line design

    We refine lip volume and the mouth-corner line with an amount suited to your facial proportions.

NOMES™ means “No Mes”: no surgical scalpel is used.
Without skin incisions, absorbable threads adjust the direction of the muscles that pull the mouth corners down, while filler refines lip volume and contours.

NOMES™ is Lauren’s signature lip corner program, for which a trademark application has been filed (No. 41-2016-0026763).
It aims to reduce concerns about visible scars and create a softer appearance around the mouth.

PROBLEM

Mouth corners look droopy for different reasons in each person.

We set the direction of correction by looking at muscle strength, lip volume and left-right differences together.

  • CASE 01

    Drooping mouth corners

    You are often told you look angry or tired when your face is at rest

  • CASE 02

    Mouth-corner muscle pull

    The downward pull on the mouth corners is strong, so they don't lift well even when you smile

  • CASE 03

    Thin lip line

    Low lip volume makes the mouth-corner line look indistinct

  • CASE 04

    Left-right asymmetry

    Only one corner lifts when you smile, or the two sides sit at different heights

Your mouth corners move whenever you speak or smile.
We therefore consider more than their angle at rest.
We assess smile movement, lip volume and overall facial proportions, then correct only what is needed.

This approach is where NOMES™ Lip Corner Lift began.

LAUREN’S SOLUTIONThe NOMES™ Lip Corner Lift Treatment Process

  1. Consulting on the mouth area with a mirror
    01

    Consultation and mouth-area assessment

    We first listen to your concerns about your mouth corners and the impression you want. We check mouth-corner angle, left-right differences and lip volume at rest and when smiling.

  2. Marking treatment points around the mouth
    02

    Lip corner design

    We design the mouth-corner angle and lip line to suit your facial proportions. Thread positions and the filler area are marked on your face and confirmed together.

    Non-incisional lip corner correction

    Absorbable threads are placed without skin incisions to reposition the direction of the muscles pulling the mouth corners down and secure them upward. Treatment focuses on four points around the lips.

  4. Injecting filler into the lips

    Personalized filler design

    During treatment, we check the shape together in a mirror while refining lip volume and the mouth-corner line. The amount is set according to your facial proportions and the degree you want.

    • Real-time checking
    • 1:1 volume adjustment

    Follow-up

    We check swelling and the shape of the mouth corners after treatment. If needed, further correction or filler touch-ups are discussed.

WHY NO MESWe start by correcting the force
that pulls the mouth corners down.

Drooping mouth corners are influenced by the downward pull of the muscles around the lips. NOMES™ locates four mouth-corner muscle points on the inner side around the lips, corrects their direction, and refines the lip line with filler.

  • Non-incisional

    No skin incision means fewer concerns about visible scars.

  • Muscle direction correction

    Realigns the direction of pull on the mouth corners at four points around the lips.

  • Return to daily life

    Recovery tends to be relatively short compared with methods that incise inside the mouth.

  • Personalized volume

    Filler is added only as much as needed, checked together during treatment.
