Upper Lip Lift Fort Worth, TX | Theodorus Kurkjian

Understanding Lip Lift Aesthetics

Youthful, sensual lips are characterized by fullness, a well-defined Cupid's bow, and visible tooth show when the mouth is relaxed. As patients age, the upper lip begins to lengthen, reducing tooth visibility and losing volume. The lip lift procedure addresses these aesthetic concerns by elevating the upper lip and enhancing its overall appearance.

Key Lip Lift Benefits

• Reduced space between nose and upper lip
• Increased tooth show
• Enhanced Cupid's bow definition
• Improved lip volume and fullness
• More youthful mouth appearance
• Reduction of lipstick bleed lines

Lip Lift Procedure Details

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jon Kurkjian performs the lip lift by making a small incision at the base of the nose. The procedure involves removing excess skin and elevating the upper lip to create optimal fullness and prominence. Depending on the treatment extent, the procedure can be completed in-office with local anesthesia or at an outpatient surgical center under general anesthesia.

Procedure Specifics

• Typical duration: 30-60 minutes
• Anesthesia options: Local or general
• Same-day return home

Recovery and Expectations

Post-procedure, patients can expect minor bruising and swelling that gradually subsides. Dr. Kurkjian recommends avoiding wide mouth movements for 7-10 days. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 2-5 days, with full recovery taking several weeks.

Cost Considerations

The lip lift procedure typically costs approximately $6,000, with pricing varying based on anesthesia type and specific treatment requirements. Financing options are available through CareCredit® and other healthcare lending institutions.
