Before and After Photos
Candidate
Lip lift surgery is a great option if you:
- Desire a fuller lip contour
- Have thin, deflated, or low hanging lips
- Would like to change the distance between your upper lift and nose
What to Expect
When undergoing any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to have realistic expectations and to properly educate yourself on the potential outcome. This can be achieved by undergoing a one on one consultation with your doctor, as they can show you before and after photos. The techniques and incisions used will be based on your cosmetic goals and current lip position. However, during a traditional upper lip lift, an incision is made directly beneath the nose, excess tissue is removed, and the lip is elevated to a higher position. Incisions are strategically placed beneath the nose to minimize the appearance of scarring. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and commonly takes about 90-minutes to complete.

Other Considerations
A lip lift is an invasive procedure that typically requires 7 – 10 days of healing. A visible bandage will need to be worn during this time to ensure proper healing and to prevent infection. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities that could possible disturb or cause discomfort to your upper lip area. Wearing loose shirts or button tops can also prevent you from possibly bumping the wound site. Minor bruising, swelling and redness is normal but should subside within a few days. Results produce fuller, natural looking lips, decreases the distance between your upper lip and nose, and allows the appearance of the upper teeth to be more dominant.
