Lip lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by shortening the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. This surgery can create a more youthful and defined lip contour, increase the prominence of the vermilion (the red part of the lips), and improve the overall balance and harmony of the face.

Who is a Candidate?

  • Ideal candidates for a lip lift are individuals who:
  • Have a long distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose.
  • Desire more visible and fuller upper lips without the use of fillers.
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.

The Procedure

  • Anesthesia: Lip lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation.
  • Incision and Adjustment: The surgeon makes precise incisions based on the chosen technique and removes a small strip of skin to lift the lip.
  • Closure: Incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, designed to minimize scarring and ensure a natural appearance.

Recovery

  • Initial Healing: Swelling and bruising are common and generally subside within a couple of weeks.
  • Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits will be necessary to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
  • Activity: Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks.

The results of a lip lift are long-lasting, providing a more youthful, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the lips and surrounding facial features. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following post-operative care instructions can help sustain the results.

If you are considering a lip lift, the first step is to schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable technique for you.
