Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

As individuals age, the upper lip can lengthen, reducing teeth visibility when smiling and contributing to an older appearance. A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to address this concern by reducing the distance between the nose and upper lip, creating a more youthful and refined facial profile.

Lip Lift vs. Lip Enhancement

Unlike traditional lip augmentation techniques that focus on volume, a lip lift reshapes and elevates the upper lip. This approach prevents the common "duck lip" appearance and provides a more natural, aesthetically pleasing result.

Surgical Techniques

Plastic Surgery Group of Atlanta offers two primary lip lift techniques:

• Modified Bullhorn Technique: Reshapes the Cupid's bow by removing skin beneath the nose
• Corner Lift Method: Elevates mouth corners to increase lip volume and height

Procedure Overview

The lip lift surgery typically takes one to two hours and is performed under oral sedation. Patients can expect minimal, inconspicuous scarring and immediate visible results that continue to refine over several months.

Recovery Expectations

• Recovery Time: One day to one week
• Procedure Location: Outpatient facility
• Initial swelling and moderate pain are normal

Surgical Expertise

Dr. Alexandra Hart, a member of the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, specializes in creating subtle, natural lip lift results tailored to individual aesthetic goals.
