Lip Lift in Bryn Mawr, PA | Bloom Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

As lips age, they naturally become longer and thinner. A lip lift offers a surgical solution to restore youthful lip contours for patients across various age groups. This innovative procedure involves removing a small portion of skin beneath the nose, effectively shortening the philtrum and creating a more attractive, fuller lip appearance.

Lip Lift vs. Lip Augmentation: Key Differences

• Lip Lift: Surgical procedure with permanent results
• Lip Augmentation: Typically temporary, using dermal fillers or surgical implants
• Ideal for patients seeking natural lip enhancement without introducing foreign substances

Surgical Approach and Technique

During a lip lift at Bloom Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Julie Shtraks performs the procedure under local anesthesia. The technique involves carefully raising the skin beneath the nose to lift the upper lip, creating a fuller, more contoured appearance. Specialized suturing techniques conceal incision lines, ensuring minimal visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

The lip lift procedure requires approximately one week of recovery. Patients can expect mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, and a temporary pulling sensation. Complete healing occurs within 6-8 weeks, with most swelling resolving within one month.
