LIP LIFT
Enhance Your Smile with Natural Fullness
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that subtly enhances the shape and position of your upper lip. By removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose, it lifts the lip, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance. This procedure is perfect for those seeking a permanent solution to thin lips or age-related changes around the mouth, without the need for fillers or implants.
How a Lip Lift
Works
A lip lift is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia:
- Personalized Consultation: We discuss your goals and determine the best approach.
- Precise Marking: The area beneath the nose is carefully marked for accurate incision placement.
- Skin Removal: A small strip of skin is removed at the base of the nose to lift the upper lip.
- Lift and Closure: The lip is lifted, and the incision is closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring.
The procedure typically takes about 1 hour, and recovery is quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week.
Is a Lip Lift Right for You?
A lip lift may be a great option if:
- You feel your philtrum (space between upper lip and nose) is too long.
- You desire naturally fuller, more youthful lips without relying on fillers.
- You want enhanced definition and shape for your lips.
- You’re concerned your upper lip looks thin, flat, or droopy.
- You are in good health and have realistic expectations.
