What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the philtrum, the space between the nose and upper lip. The technique involves removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose, lifting the lip to create a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Procedure Benefits
- Corrects thin or elongated upper lip
- Increases visible pink lip tissue
- Improves lip symmetry
- Enhances natural lip curvature
- Creates more balanced facial proportions
Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift
Candidates for a lip lift are typically individuals in good overall health seeking to improve their lip appearance. Ideal patients desire:
- Reduction of excessive philtrum length
- More defined lip borders
- Fuller upper lip without dermal fillers
- Improved facial harmony
Surgical Procedure Details
Dr. Stein performs the lip lift using a precise "bullhorn" technique. The procedure involves administering IV sedation, making a strategic incision at the base of the nose, removing a measured skin strip, and carefully suturing to minimize scarring.
Recovery and Expectations
Recovery typically involves mild swelling and bruising for the first few days. Most patients return to normal activities within a week, with full healing occurring over several months. Dr. Stein provides personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Complementary Procedures
A lip lift can be combined with other facial procedures like rhinoplasty or facelift to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Stein will discuss personalized treatment options during consultation.
