Angellift is a brand of noninvasive, removable perioral (mouth) implant or prosthetic marketed by Medical Matrix, LLC, it's claimed use to lift and tighten the lower facial dermis. Angellift came about when a California surgeon wanted to provide his patients with a preview of their new appearance, but the concept is believed to date back more than 25 years in use by European actors.[1][citation needed]
Angellift is not Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited, its accreditation was revoked by the BBB on September 8, 2026, and, out of possible ratings from A+ to F, it's BBB Rating is F including due to failure to respond to complaints and the number of complaints filed against the business.[2]
In the United States they are just one aspect of a growing trend in cosmetic dentistry.[3][4] The first ones[clarification needed] in the United States were made in 2003, and are still in use.[5][6][failed verification] Angellift was featured in the fifth season of Shark Tank[7] with only one angel investor "Shark" making a deal, but which deal never closed.[8]
The American Dental Association and Canadian Dental Association have not been invited to participate in the development of this device as it does not affect teeth or occlusion; although the device is fit within the mouth, it claims to affect the skin surface and not the perioral cavity.[citation needed] The Angellift devices are cleaned in similar fashion as retainers or dentures.[citation needed]
In 2008, Angellift introduced an over-the-counter version of the original prescriptive model which could only be fit by dentists.[citation needed] The over-the-counter version does not require a dental visit as it does not attach to the teeth.[citation needed] Also in 2008, Angellift applied to the Food and Drug Administration for administration approval for general physicians and dermatologists.[1][citation needed]
