FACE LIFT (RHYTIDECTOMY)
A lip lift is a permanent cosmetic procedure that reduces the space between your nose and lips. It creates more defined and natural-looking lips. A lip lift gives your mouth a more pronounced, youthful appearance without using fillers or implants to increase volume.
What does a lip lift do?
A lip lift can change the appearance of your lips by:
- Covering exposed upper teeth.
- Adding the appearance of volume to your upper lip.
- Reversing a down-turned lip corner.
- Eliminating lines caused by natural aging.
Procedure Details
In a lip lift, plastic surgeons remove excess skin between the bottom of your nose and upper lip (philtrum) and lift your mouth into position. Your surgeon might lift another area of your mouth instead of the upper lip, depending on the type of lip lift you have.
On average, a lip lift takes less than an hour.You can expect your surgical site to heal in six to eight weeks. Some swelling and bruising should start to go away within a week after the lip lift procedure and completely disappear within a month. Your lips may feel tight for a couple of months. In some cases, it may take up to six months for your lips to feel completely normal.
