Lip Lift
A lip lift is a surgical procedure with permanent results where the lip is pulled slightly upwards. A lip lift is a great option for those who want a more youthful appearance, but who don’t necessarily want their lips to be made much larger.
Lift Lift:
"Reveal a Youthful, Natural Smile with a Subtle Lift"
As we age, the lips naturally lose volume and definition, often becoming longer and thinner. While lip lifts were once primarily sought after by older individuals, the procedure has gained popularity among younger patients as well, thanks to the growing demand for full, youthful, and sensual lips. The lip lift is a subtle yet effective surgical solution that involves removing a small strip of skin just beneath the nose, which shortens the philtrum (the space between the nose and upper lip). This process gently lifts the top lip, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance that enhances facial balance without looking overdone.
The lip lift procedure not only provides a more defined and youthful lip shape but also improves the overall proportions of the face. By subtly lifting the upper lip, it enhances the natural contours of the mouth, making the lips appear plumper and more vibrant. It is a minimally invasive procedure that offers lasting results, with many patients enjoying a more refreshed and attractive smile that enhances their confidence and appearance for years to come.
Goals of Procedures
- Enhance Lip Fullness:
By lifting the upper lip, the procedure creates a fuller, more youthful appearance, enhancing the natural volume of the lips. - Shorten the Philtrum:
The surgery shortens the space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum), which can help restore a more youthful, balanced facial appearance, especially when this area lengthens with age. - Improve Smile Aesthetics:
The subtle lift enhances the smile by revealing more of the upper teeth and improving the overall appearance of the mouth. - Restore Youthful Proportions:
As we age, the lips naturally lose volume and shape. A lip lift helps restore the youthful proportions of the upper lip, making it more symmetrical and naturally full. - Enhance Facial Balance:
By lifting and reshaping the upper lip, the procedure can improve the harmony between the lips and the rest of the facial features, resulting in a more balanced and attractive look. - Boost Confidence:
With a fuller, more youthful smile and improved lip contours, a lip lift can enhance self-esteem and confidence, providing a natural and refreshed appearance.
Procedure time
Typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the surgery.
Number of nights in hospital
The lip lift is generally performed on an outpatient basis, meaning no overnight stay is required. Patients can usually go home the same day.
Recovery
Initial recovery involves swelling and bruising, which typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Full healing and final results are visible after about 3 to 6 months, as any residual swelling resolves and the incisions fade.
