What is a Lip Lift?
A Lip Lift is a precise surgical procedure designed to shorten the space (the philtrum) between the base of the nose and the top of the upper lip. By removing a small strip of skin from under the nose, the upper lip is gently “lifted” and rolled outward. This technique increases the amount of visible pink tissue (vermilion), creating a fuller and more defined pout. It also enhances “tooth show,” allowing more of the upper teeth to be visible when the lips are resting, which is a key characteristic of a youthful smile.
Before & After
Who is it for?
A lip lift is an excellent choice for healthy individuals who: Have an elongated philtrum (the space between the nose and upper lip). Desire a fuller upper lip but want a permanent, natural-looking alternative to fillers. Have a thin or downturned upper lip that disappears when they smile. Wish to show more of their upper teeth when they smile for a brighter, more open expression. Are looking for a subtle procedure that provides significant facial rejuvenation.
Benefits of the Procedure
The benefits of a lip lift are both subtle and profound: Aesthetic Gains: Creates a permanently fuller, more defined upper lip. It improves the overall facial balance and proportion and gives the smile a more youthful, pleasant appearance. Permanent Solution: Unlike temporary fillers, the results of a lip lift are long-lasting and maintain a natural look. Psychological Gains: Can dramatically improve confidence in one’s smile and overall facial appearance.
How is it Done?
The lip lift procedure at Redo is defined by its precision and detail. Consultation: Begins with precise measurements of your facial features to plan the exact amount of skin to be removed for a perfectly balanced result. Anesthesia: The procedure is comfortably performed under local anesthesia. Surgical Technique: The most common technique is the “bullhorn” or subnasal lip lift. An incision is carefully designed in the natural crease at the base of the nose where it will be well-hidden. A small, pre-measured strip of skin is removed, and the lip is then lifted into its new position and secured with fine sutures. Duration: The entire surgical procedure typically takes about one hour.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from a lip lift is straightforward with the support of the Redo team. First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness in the upper lip are normal. Discomfort is generally mild. A soft diet is recommended to minimize lip movement. Week 1: The crucial follow-up for suture removal occurs around day 5 to 7. After this, most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities. Scar Maturation: The incision line will be reddish at first but is designed to fade significantly over several months, ultimately becoming a faint line hidden in the natural shadow of the nose.
