What is a Surgical Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance and redefine the shape of the lips, targeting fullness and symmetry. The surgery primarily focuses on elevating the edges of the lips, known as the vermilion border, and diminishing the space between the lips and the base of the nose.

The procedure elevates the lips, carefully removing a small section of skin beneath the nostrils, bringing a more pronounced curve and fuller look to the lips and the overall smile. The process raises the lips to make them appear more voluminous without fillers and is tailored by the surgeon to complement facial characteristics.

Through this cosmetic enhancement, patients see a notable improvement in their lip aesthetics, achieving a balanced, natural, and more youthful appearance.

How Does Surgical Lip Lift Work?

A lip lift enhances the upper lip’s appearance. It involves removing a small section of skin from under the nose to the top lip’s border, effectively lifting the lip upwards. This procedure reduces the space between the nose and lip, causing the lip to appear fuller and more pronounced by exposing more of the lip’s red area. The outcome is a youthful and voluminous look for the lips.

Benefits of a Surgical Lip Lift

A lip lift offers numerous advantages that contribute to its popularity among patients. The procedure ensures permanent enhancements, notably augmenting lip volume for a youthful look. It not only beautifies your smile but also elevates your self-esteem.

Highlighting its appeal is the promise of natural-looking, enduring results with minimal scarring discreetly concealed. The short and secure process eliminates the dependency on fillers or BOTOX. Additionally, it harmonizes facial proportions, allows for a fuller smile that showcases the upper teeth, and entails a brief recovery period.

Surgical Lip Lift vs. Other Procedures

A surgical lip lift is a permanent, effective solution to enhance and volumize lips. Renowned as an excellent substitute for temporary lip fillers, this procedure delicately refines your lips, offering them a naturally fuller and more defined look. Non-surgical options include dermal fillers such as Restylane Kysse and JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, which, while not permanent, offer durability with minimal invasiveness.

Before, During, and After

What To Expect Before a Surgical Lip Lift Procedure

During your lip lift consultation with Dr. Daniel, you’ll explore your aesthetic goals and learn about achievable outcomes. It’s an opportunity to address questions regarding Little Rock’s premier lip lift surgery procedure, assess your health, and customize the best treatment plan for your desired look.

What To Expect During a Surgical Lip Lift Procedure

During lip lift surgery, the goal is to enhance the appearance of the lips by adjusting the amount of skin between the nose and the upper lip (known as the philtrum). Depending on the specific technique suited for your needs, Dr. Daniel may focus on the upper lip or another part of the mouth.

This process involves making a small incision, removing the unnecessary skin, and then repositioning the lips for a more aesthetically pleasing look. The placement and number of small incisions depend on the chosen lip lift method. To finalize the surgery, Dr. Daniel will meticulously stitch up any incisions made.

What To Expect After a Surgical Lip Lift Procedure

Following a lip lift:

Lie on your back with your head raised.
Limit conversation to ease discomfort.
Adhere to prescribed medication guidelines.
Refrain from alcohol and smoking to facilitate healing.
Eat soft foods that are easier to consume without extensive chewing.

It’s normal to feel swollen, sore, and tightness post-surgery. You will, however, have more defined and rejuvenated lips.

Frequently asked questions

What is the recovery time for a surgical lip lift?

The healing process following a lip lift is unique to every person. Typically, individuals recover within five to seven days post-procedure. Slight pain and a sensation of tightness above the lip may be experienced. Moderate bruising and swelling are most pronounced within the first 72 hours but take up to three weeks to subside. Applying cold compresses to the upper lip area is recommended to alleviate swelling.

Are the results of a surgical lip lift permanent?

A lip lift offers a lasting solution for achieving fuller and more voluptuous lips. While your lips will naturally age, the enhancements from the surgery are permanent.

What type of anesthesia is used during a surgical lip lift?

Lip lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. A plastic surgeon like Dr. Lee Daniel, with board certification and extensive experience will guarantee your safety and achieve optimal outcomes.

How much does a surgical lip lift cost?

Price varies depending on the type of lip lift and the extent of the surgery.

How can I prepare for a surgical lip lift procedure?

Before your lip lift, quit smoking and all nicotine products 4 weeks before surgery to promote wound healing. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, and other supplements that may increase bleeding. Switch to Tylenol for pain. Consult about medication adjustments and filling necessary prescriptions.
