What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate the upper lip, enhancing the smile and overall facial balance. This procedure shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, which can lengthen with age to create a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Why Get a Lip Lift?

A lip lift addresses a range of aesthetic concerns around the mouth, offering a rejuvenating solution that enhances your smile and facial harmony. This transformative procedure treats issues such as:

Elongated lip skin which can make the face appear older.
Thin lips that lack definition and volume.
A lack of visibility of the upper teeth when smiling.
Decreased lip curvature, leading to a less expressive smile.

What are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?

A lip lift offers several transformative benefits that enhance both the function and the appearance of the lips:

Enhanced Lip Fullness: By lifting the upper lip, the procedure naturally enhances its fullness and definition.
Improved Facial Proportions: Corrects the balance between facial features by adjusting the prominence of the lips.
More Youthful Appearance: Reduces signs of aging around the mouth, giving a rejuvenated look.
Increased Confidence: Patients commonly experience a boost in self-esteem and comfort with their facial aesthetics.

The Lip Lift Procedure

Our lip lift procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring patient comfort. Dr. Wise makes a small incision beneath the nose, removing a strip of skin and tissue to lift the lip to its new position. The incision is carefully placed to minimize visible scarring and is closed with sutures that maximize the aesthetic result while promoting rapid healing.

Lip Lift Recovery and Results

Recovery from a lip lift is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Swelling and slight bruising may occur but generally subside within a week. Patients can usually return to normal activities within a few days, and sutures are removed after about one week. Final results are visible once the swelling fully resolves, revealing a more balanced and youthful smile.

Is a Lip Lift Right for You?

Ideal candidates for the lip lift procedure are those looking to enhance the aesthetics of their upper lip due to aging or natural facial structure. Suitable candidates should:

Be in good overall health.
Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
Be non-smokers, as smoking can complicate both the procedure and the recovery process.
Be committed to following pre and post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Wise.
