Plastic Surgery
A minimally invasive procedure that creates a fuller, more youthful upper lip by reducing the space between the nose and lip — unlike temporary fillers, a lip lift provides permanent, natural-looking results.
What to Expect
We discuss your goals, assess your lip structure, and create a customized treatment plan.
Depending on the procedure, local anesthesia and intravenous sedation may be used to ensure your comfort.
A small incision is made at the base of the nose to lift the upper lip — the scar is minimal and well-hidden.
Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a natural enhancement.
Incisions are stitched with fine sutures. Noticeable results appear within a few weeks, with final results after about 3 months.
Is This Right for You?

Good to Know
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’s carefully placed at the base of the nose, making it discreet. The scar fades significantly over time, especially with proper aftercare, and is barely noticeable once healed.
No, a lip lift 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.
Yes! Many patients combine a lip lift with chin augmentation or facial rejuvenation treatments for enhanced facial harmony.
