Lip Lift
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the nose. It can help to create a more youthful and attractive appearance.
How is a Lip Lift Performed?
Lip lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision below the nose and removes a small strip of skin. The remaining skin is then pulled upward and sutured in place.
After Surgery Treatment
Recovery from a lip lift is typically quick, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include:
• Avoiding strenuous activity for a few days.
• Taking pain medication as prescribed to manage discomfort.
• Keeping the area clean and dry.

Things to Be Careful About
While a lip lift is generally a safe procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with it. These may include:
• Scarring: Incisions can leave visible scars.
• Asymmetrical results: It may be difficult to achieve perfectly symmetrical results.
• Numbness or loss of sensation: You may experience numbness or loss of sensation in your upper lip.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection after any surgery.
If you’re considering a lip lift, it’s important to discuss the risks and benefits with your surgeon to determine if it’s the right procedure for you.
