How Does LIP Lift Work
A lip lift works by removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose and lifting the upper lip into a higher, more defined position. This shortens the space between the nose and lip, improving lip show and smile balance. The incision is carefully placed along the natural crease beneath the nose for discreet healing.
What are benefits of LIP Lift?
A lip lift can create a naturally fuller looking upper lip, improve smile aesthetics and provide a permanent enhancement compared to temporary treatments. It also supports facial harmony by balancing the midface and mouth area, especially for patients with a longer upper lip.
FAQ's
How is a lip lift different from lip fillers?
Fillers add volume, while a lip lift changes position and shape by increasing lip show. Many patients choose a lip lift for a permanent improvement, and some combine it with subtle fillers for enhanced definition. The best option depends on whether your concern is shape, length or volume.
Will I have a visible scar?
The scar is positioned under the nose where it blends into the natural crease. With good healing and proper care, it usually fades well and becomes discreet. Your surgeon will advise on scar care to support the best result.
What does recovery feel like?
You may experience swelling and tightness in the upper lip for the first week. Most patients manage comfortably with prescribed medication and gentle care. Normal smiling and movement improves gradually as healing progresses.
Is the result permanent?
Yes, a lip lift provides a long lasting structural improvement. Ageing continues naturally, but the repositioning remains. Many patients prefer it for its permanence compared to repeated filler appointments.
Will it look natural?
A well planned lip lift should look subtle and balanced, not exaggerated. The goal is a refreshed, youthful lip appearance that suits your facial proportions. Conservative planning is key to natural results.
