Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

A surgical lip lift is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by strategically removing a small strip of skin between the nose and lip. This technique creates a more defined and lifted lip shape, increasing the visible surface area of the lips with minimal intervention.

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves a strategic incision at the nostril crease, ensuring minimal scarring and maximum aesthetic improvement. Unlike temporary lip enhancement methods, a surgical lip lift offers a permanent solution that requires no ongoing maintenance.

Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift

  • Individuals over 21 years old
  • Patients seeking permanent lip enhancement
  • Those with disproportionate lip-to-nose ratios
  • Individuals wanting increased lip volume and definition

Lip Lift Benefits

  • Permanently enhanced lip appearance
  • Improved lip symmetry
  • Increased visible tooth show when smiling
  • Minimal downtime and recovery
  • Local anesthesia typically used

Procedure Details

The lip lift is an outpatient procedure typically completed within one hour. Using local anesthesia, the surgeon makes precise incisions, removes a small skin strip, and repositions the remaining tissue to create a lifted, more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect minimal downtime, with most returning to daily activities quickly. Swelling and minor discomfort resolve within two weeks, with final results becoming visible after six to eight weeks.

Why Choose a Lip Lift?

Unlike temporary solutions like dermal fillers, a surgical lip lift provides a permanent enhancement that maintains natural facial proportions and improves overall lip aesthetics.
