What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the mouth by shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip. This subtle adjustment creates a more youthful and balanced facial proportion. Typically, the procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete. By carefully removing a small strip of skin just beneath the nose, the upper lip is gently elevated. The result is a refreshed look that highlights the natural contours of the nose and upper lip area.

Initial Consultation

Preparation for the procedure begins with a thorough lip lift consultation, during which the patient’s facial structure and overall health are carefully evaluated. This step helps determine whether the individual is a suitable candidate for the procedure. During the consultation, our surgeon discusses the goals and expectations, as well as reviews any previous facial surgery that might impact the treatment. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve the best possible results. Proper preparation ensures the procedure aligns with the patient’s unique facial features and aesthetic desires.

Lip Lift Procedure

Anesthesia

The lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area and allows the patient to remain awake during this delicate procedure. This approach ensures a pain-free experience while minimizing risks associated with general anesthesia.

Incisions

A small incision is carefully made at the base of the nose, strategically positioned to remain discreet and unobtrusive. Through this incision site, our surgeon removes a precise amount of excess skin to lift and enhance the appearance of the upper lip.

Skin Removal and Adjustment

The removal of excess skin shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, resulting in a more defined and youthful appearance. This step requires meticulous attention to detail to maintain natural proportions and symmetry.

Closure

After the skin is adjusted, the incision site is closed using fine sutures, which help minimize scarring and support optimal healing. The careful closure contributes to the overall aesthetic success of the procedure.

Lip Lift Recovery

Recovery after a lip lift requires careful attention to ensure optimal results. Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort during the initial healing process, which typically improves within a few days. Keeping the lips moisturized is essential to promote comfort and prevent dryness or cracking as the area heals. Following our surgeon’s aftercare instructions helps support the healing process, reduces the risk of complications, and ensures a smooth recovery.

Keep the lips moisturized with recommended ointments or balms.
Avoid excessive lip movement, such as wide smiling or heavy chewing.
Follow all prescribed medications and cleaning routines as directed.
Protect the incision site from direct sun exposure to prevent discoloration.
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process.

Add-On Procedure: Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a popular add-on procedure that can complement a surgical lip lift to achieve enhanced volume and definition. While the surgical lip lift improves the shape and position of the lips, dermal fillers provide additional fullness and contour through a simple procedure. For those seeking a longer-lasting or more dramatic change, lip implants offer an alternative option. Combining these methods enables a customized lip enhancement, making it the perfect solution for individuals seeking to achieve both lift and volume.

Good Candidates for Lip Lift Surgery

Selecting ideal candidates for a lip lift involves assessing various facial features and health factors to determine who may benefit most from this aesthetic surgery. Candidates are evaluated to ensure they have realistic expectations and that the procedure aligns with their individual needs. The following groups are usually eligible for this surgery:

Those experiencing age-related changes where the upper lip loses volume

Can I combine a lip lift with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes, a lip lift increases the overall attractiveness of the lower half of the face and can be effectively combined with other surgical procedures for a comprehensive enhancement. Additionally, non-surgical options like lip fillers can be used alongside a lip lift to add volume and make a lip bigger while maintaining natural results.

How long does the lip lift procedure take?

The lip lift procedure typically takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete, making it a relatively quick surgery that can often be performed on an outpatient basis. This efficient timing allows patients to return home the same day with minimal downtime.

Will there be visible scars after a lip lift?

How soon can I see results after a lip lift?

Results from a lip lift are often visible immediately after the procedure, with swelling gradually subsiding over a few weeks. As the healing progresses, the lips take on a more natural, fuller appearance, highlighting improved lip volume and shape.
