Lip Lift – Upper Lip Enhancement

Why do women opt for an upper lip lift?

Full lips are an aesthetic ideal sought by most women. The shape and fullness of the lips are genetically predetermined, reach their peak in middle age, and then gradually thin out. Full, sensually pouty lips with slightly turned-out edges rejuvenate a person and give freshness to the face. A significant part of the cosmetic industry is dedicated to lip care and makeup to make the lips appear larger and fuller.

Why a lip lift – shortening and lifting the lip

The average distance from the base of the nose to the edge of the upper lip – the vermilion – is about 12-15 mm. Some people naturally have a long upper lip, and with aging, the upper lip also elongates. Shortening and lifting the lip not only rejuvenates the middle third of the face but also allows for the shaping and filling of the lip in a way that is not possible with fillers or fat tissue. If the upper lip is thinned and the vermilion border is poorly defined, and the Cupid’s bow is erased – the only way to correct this is a lip lift. A lip lift will shorten and lift the upper lip, accentuate the Cupid’s bow, and plump up the upper lip by rotating the vermilion edge much better and more naturally than can be achieved with filler injections or fat tissue. Equally important is that this effect is permanent.

How do we perform a lip lift?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and the patient goes home after the surgery. The skin incision is made below the nostrils, and stitches are removed after a week. Recovery after the operation takes 7-10 days. The photograph shows how much skin will be removed during the procedure.

Permanent fullness of the lower lip

When achieving fullness in the lower lip with fillers is not satisfactory, we use a surgical method involving the advancement and rotation of the mucosal lining of the inner lip in combination with muscle tightening and lipofilling.
