What is a Lip Lift?

During social interactions, the lips play a crucial role in communication and emotional expression. As individuals age, the upper lip can become longer and lose volume, leading to self-consciousness about lip appearance. A lip lift is an elegant surgical procedure designed to restore lip youthfulness by reducing the vertical height of the upper lip skin.

Benefits of an Upper Lip Lift

Shortened length between nose and mouth
Increased upper lip volume
Enhanced Cupid's bow definition
Subtle improvement of mouth corners
Increased upper tooth visibility
Reduced dependency on lip fillers

Lip Lift Techniques

Bullhorn Lip Lift

This technique removes excess skin beneath the nose in a bull's horn shape, creating a more plump and defined upper lip. By lifting underlying tissues, it produces a pouty lip appearance.

Corner Lip Lift

Ideal for individuals with downturned lip corners, this technique removes small skin triangles to lift lip edges, creating a more inviting and youthful expression.

Candidate Qualifications

Lip lift candidates include healthy men and women seeking to restore lip volume or improve lip symmetry. Dr. Walker evaluates each patient's unique facial structure to determine the most appropriate technique.

Procedure Details

Performed under local anesthesia, the lip lift procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes. Incisions are strategically placed in natural skin creases to minimize visible scarring. Patients can expect minimal discomfort and rapid healing.

Recovery Overview

Recovery is relatively quick, with noticeable results within three weeks. Patients should follow post-operative instructions, including avoiding strenuous activities and maintaining proper wound care to ensure optimal healing.
