Bring out Your Natural Beauty with a Lip Lift
Benefits of Lip Lift
A lip lift is a popular choice for patients who want to enhance their lips without fillers. This procedure offers
- Enhanced Lip Definition: Lifts the upper lip for a more youthful, elegant shape.
- Increased Lip Volume: Creates the appearance of fuller lips without the need for fillers.
- Improved Smile Aesthetics: Reduces excessive upper lip length and enhances tooth visibility.
- Permanent Results: Unlike lip fillers, a lip lift provides long-lasting enhancement.
- Minimal Downtime: A straightforward procedure with a relatively quick recovery time.
What to Expect During a Lip Lift Procedure
At Whitefish Plastic Surgery, we perform lip lifts in our office-based surgical setting with advanced techniques to ensure optimal results. The procedure involves
Consultation
We discuss your goals, assess your lip structure, and create a customized treatment plan.
Anesthesia
Depending on the nature of the procedure, local anesthesia and intravenous (IV) sedation may be used.
Precise Incisions
A small incision is made at the base of the nose to lift the upper lip. The scar is minimal and well-hidden.
Tissue Adjustment
Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a natural enhancement.
Sutures & Recovery
The incisions are stitched up with fine sutures, and post-procedure instructions are provided for smooth healing. You’ll begin to see noticeable results within a few weeks, with final results appearing after complete healing in about 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
A lip lift provides permanent results. Unlike fillers, which require touch-ups, this procedure permanently enhances the shape and position of your upper lip.
Yes, a lip lift leaves a small scar, but it is carefully placed at the base of the nose, making it discreet and minimally visible. Over time, the scar fades significantly, especially with proper aftercare, including scar treatments and sun protection. Most patients find that once healed, the scar is barely noticeable.
No, a lip lift does not affect speech or eating. The procedure only affects the external appearance of the upper lip without interfering with the muscles responsible for speaking or chewing. Most patients resume their usual routine shortly after the procedure with minimal discomfort.
