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.

Dr. Stein performed a lower face/neck lift and an upper face lift. I couldn’t be happier! I still look like myself only much much better. He also made some minor adjustments to my nose which I’m thrilled with. Friends look at me and ask. Have you lost weight? I just smile and say I’m feeling rested and happy and it shows. Don’t hesitate to utilize Dr. Stein’s services. His staff was super attentive and the whole process ran like clockwork.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Stein five years ago, and while I appreciate the effort, I am not satisfied with the results. One major concern is that the nurse did not inform me about the necessity of taping my nose after surgery. As a result, I assumed it wasn’t required and did not follow this step, which I later learned is crucial for proper healing and shaping. Now, years later, my nose doesn’t look as I had hoped, and I can’t help but feel that better post-surgery guidance could have led to a more successful outcome. I strongly encourage the clinic to ensure that all patients receive thorough and clear instructions about aftercare to help them achieve the best possible results.

I was so scared only to find out it was so easy! My recovery was swift and pain free. The result is amazing. Dr. Stein is a real artist.

Highly Recommend doing thorough research and finding a different surgeon. Went to Dr. Stein for a rhinoplasty and ended up with an asymmetric, cosmetically unpleasant outcome with no breathing improvement. Prior to surgery, everything is rushed. The nurses and front desk were friendly and pleasant, but like other reviews mention Dr. Stein's bedside manners are not one of his strong suits. I did feel a condescending infection in his tone at all of my appointments. Very headstrong and not understanding. After the first rhinoplasty, they offered a revision that would be covered. I went back to him due to financial reasons and the fact that he performed my first surgery so he knew exactly what to expect. Told him if he at any point did not feel confident in the surgery not to pursue it. I'm almost 5 months post op and have had to consult with other surgeons to understand my options given the series of unfortunate events performed by Stein. My only option to fix my breathing and the hefty cosmetic issues is one final surgeon who specializes in revisions in either Chicago/NYC/Baltimore & about 30-40k. I don't leave reviews, but if it could help someone to not have to go through what l've been dealing with at the expense of him, I just had to leave one. Moral of the story: take your time and don't let any surgeon rush you in the process. Please look into other surgeons!

Dr. Stein explained in detail the process I was interested in, and took his time telling me what results to expect. His demeanor put me at ease and he was always available if I had any concerns. I would highly recommend him if you are considering any type of plastic surgery .
