Lip lift
A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to shorten the space between the nose and the upper lip, resulting in a more youthful and balanced appearance. This subtle enhancement lifts the upper lip to expose more of the pink lip tissue, giving the lips a fuller, more defined look without the use of fillers. It’s ideal for patients who feel their upper lip is too long, thin, or lacking definition.
How is a Lip Lift performed?
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and takes about 30 to 60 minutes. The most common technique is the subnasal “bullhorn” lip lift, where a small incision is made along the base of the nose. A strip of skin is then carefully removed, and the upper lip is gently lifted and secured in a higher position.
The incision is closed with fine sutures, and once healed, the scar is usually well-concealed in the natural creases under the nose. The result is a more youthful and expressive smile, with better upper lip proportion and tooth show.
Post Lip lift Care
Recovery from a lip lift is generally quick and straightforward. Most swelling and bruising subside within a week, and sutures are usually removed after 5–7 days. Patients are advised to limit facial movements and avoid pulling on the upper lip during the initial healing period.
