Lip Lift

What is it?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the nose, enhancing lip shape and creating a more youthful appearance.

About Lip Lift

A lip lift focuses on improving the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the philtrum (the space between the nose and the upper lip) and raising the position of the lip. This can result in a fuller, more youthful lip appearance without the need for fillers. Over time, the upper lip tends to elongate and lose volume, which can affect facial harmony. A lip lift elevates the lip to expose more of the upper teeth when smiling and enhances the overall shape and structure of the lips, making them appear fuller and more defined.

How it Works

The surgeon evaluates the lip-to-nose ratio and discusses the desired outcome.
A small incision is made under the base of the nose to remove a strip of skin, allowing the upper lip to be lifted.
Swelling and minor discomfort last for about 1-2 weeks. The final results appear within a few months.
The upper lip appears lifted and fuller, with more teeth showing when smiling, creating a youthful, balanced facial appearance.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals with a long upper lip or those whose upper teeth are hidden when smiling.
  • People seeking a permanent alternative to lip fillers for enhancing lip volume.
  • Non-smokers in good general health with realistic expectations.
  • Those looking to improve lip shape and symmetry.
  • Patients who want to reduce the space between the nose and upper lip for better facial balance.
  • Individuals who desire a more pronounced and youthful lip contour.

The longevity of results varies by procedure. Surgical results, like rhinoplasty and facelifts, are generally long-lasting, often lasting for years. While procedures do not halt aging, following recommended care and lifestyle habits can help maintain results over time. We’ll discuss expected outcomes for your specific treatment during your consultation.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation. We help patients determine which procedure aligns with their goals during the consultation process.

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their outcomes. Factors such as age, skin elasticity, bone structure, and overall health all play a role in determining suitability. We conduct detailed consultations to help each patient understand which procedures align best with their goals and expectations.
