Lip Lift Lake Oswego, OR | Dr. Mark A. Petroff, MD

What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a specialized cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the aesthetic appearance and shape of the upper lip. At Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa, Dr. Mark A. Petroff performs custom-tailored lip enhancement surgeries focused on creating natural-looking fullness and improving overall facial harmony.

Lip Lift Surgical Technique

The lip lift procedure is performed with the patient awake or under "twilight" anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort. Dr. Petroff carefully makes a small incision at the base of the nose and removes a precise strip of skin to elevate the lip's position. The strategic incision is strategically camouflaged in the natural nose base folds, resulting in virtually invisible healing.

Key Benefits of Lip Lift Surgery

• Improved Lip Shape: Increases visibility of the pink lip portion for fuller, more defined lips
• Youthful Restoration: Shortens the distance between nose and upper lip
• Enhanced Smile: Improves upper teeth visibility when smiling
• Permanent Results: Unlike temporary fillers, provides long-lasting enhancement
• Natural Appearance: Utilizes patient's own anatomy for authentic results

Recovery and Expectations

After lip enhancement surgery, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising for up to two weeks. The delicate treatment area requires careful recovery. Dr. Petroff and his team will provide comprehensive post-surgical guidance to ensure a smooth healing process.

Lip Lift vs. Other Lip Enhancement Techniques

Unlike temporary solutions like Botox lip flip, a lip lift offers permanent improvements. The procedure creates natural-looking fullness by repositioning the lip's structure rather than introducing external fillers.
