Lip Lift

Benefits

A lip lift can improve upper lip proportion, enhance lip definition, and create a more youthful appearance to the mouth area. Unlike fillers, a lip lift provides permanent improvement in lip position and does not rely on added volume. Patients often notice a more balanced facial profile and improved smile aesthetics.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for a lip lift are individuals with a longer upper lip or minimal visible upper lip who desire improved lip shape rather than increased fullness. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. A lip lift may be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures such as facelift, rhinoplasty, or facial fat transfer.

Treatment Areas

A lip lift targets the upper lip and the area beneath the nose (philtrum). The procedure enhances lip height, shape, and visibility while maintaining a natural appearance.

Procedure

A lip lift is typically performed through a small incision placed along the base of the nose, allowing for precise elevation of the upper lip. Excess skin is removed, and the lip is lifted to a more youthful position. The incision is carefully designed to be discreet and blend with natural contours. The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and whether it is combined with other procedures. Recovery is generally well tolerated, with gradual refinement as swelling resolves.
