What is a lip lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the vermilion border (the red part of the lip).

What does a lip lift do?

A lip lift is a procedure, either surgical or non-surgical, that aims to create the appearance of fuller, more prominent lips. It primarily focuses on shortening the distance between your nose and the top of your upper lip, also known as the philtral length. This can be achieved in two main ways:

Surgical lip lift:

• This procedure involves removing a small strip of skin from under your nose, effectively “lifting” the upper lip closer to the base of your nose.
• There are different types of surgical lip lifts, each with slightly different approaches and results.
• It provides a more permanent solution compared to non-surgical methods.

Non-surgical lip lift:

• This approach uses injectable fillers like hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin (Botox) to achieve the desired effect.
• Fillers can plump up the lip border and create a slight lifting effect by pushing the upper lip upwards.
• Botox can relax the muscles that pull the lip down, again contributing to a subtle lift.
• Non-surgical methods offer temporary results, typically lasting a few months.

How should I prepare for a lip lift?

As I cannot provide medical advice, it’s crucial to consult your board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for specific pre-operative instructions tailored to your situation. However, here’s a general overview of things you might expect when preparing for a lip lift:

Before your consultation:

• Research: Learn about different lip lift techniques, potential risks and benefits, and realistic expectations.
• Gather information: Prepare a list of any medications you take, including vitamins and herbal supplements. Document any medical conditions or allergies.
• Questions: Write down any questions you have about the procedure, recovery, and aftercare.

During your consultation:

• Open communication: Discuss your desired outcome, goals, and concerns with your doctor. Show pictures if helpful.
• Medical history: Be transparent about your health history, including previous surgeries, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption.
• Photographs: The doctor might take photographs for documentation and planning.
• Pre-operative instructions: You’ll receive specific instructions regarding:
  • Medications: You might need to stop certain medications like blood thinners or aspirin well in advance.
  • Smoking: Quitting smoking is often mandatory for several weeks before and after surgery due to its impact on healing.
  • Alcohol: Limiting or avoiding alcohol before surgery is usually recommended.
  • Diet: You might be advised to avoid certain foods or drinks before surgery.
  • Lab tests: Blood tests or other evaluations might be necessary.

How long does a lip lift take?

The duration of a lip lift depends on several factors, including:

Surgical vs. Non-Surgical:

• Surgical lip lifts: Typically take 45 minutes to 1 hour. However, more complex procedures like a central lip lift may extend to 2 hours.
• Non-surgical lip lifts: Injections with fillers or Botox are relatively quick, often taking 30-45 minutes.
