What is a lip lift

A lip lift is designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by shortening the space between the upper lip and the base of the nose. This procedure creates a more youthful and fuller lip contour by lifting the upper lip, making it more pronounced. It can improve lip shape, increase visible red lip area, and enhance overall facial harmony. The surgery involves removing a small strip of skin from beneath the nose and then lifting the lip to achieve the desired effect.

Is a lip lift for me?

A lip lift might be suitable for you if you wish to achieve a fuller, more youthful upper lip. This procedure is ideal for those who feel their upper lip is too thin, has lost volume with age, or want to reduce the distance between the upper lip and the nose.

If you have any of these symptoms, this operation is indeed for you.

During the procedure

During a lip lift, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. A small incision is made at the base of the nose and a strip of skin is removed. This shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip, lifting the lip to create a fuller and more pronounced appearance. The remaining skin is sutured carefully to ensure minimal scarring and a natural look.

Cold Compresses: Use ice packs for the first 48 hours.
