Lip Lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, position, and appearance of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip area. This space, known as the philtrum, can become longer due to natural facial structure or aging changes. By carefully removing a small portion of skin beneath the nose, the upper lip will be repositioned into a higher and more youthful position. This adjustment allows more of the natural pink lip to be visible, creating a fuller and softer lip appearance without adding artificial volume.

Lip Lift is also valued for the long-term aesthetic benefits it provides while maintaining natural facial balance. The procedure enhances lip definition, improves upper tooth visibility when smiling, and reduces fine lines around the mouth area. Unlike temporary treatments, Lip Lift offers a permanent improvement that supports facial harmony and youthful proportions.

Lip Lift begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this initial assessment, the doctor evaluates the upper lip, philtrum length, and overall facial proportions. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia. A small strip of skin is carefully removed from beneath the nose, and the upper lip is gently lifted into its new position. Fine sutures close the incision, which is placed discreetly under the nose to minimize visible scarring. The process helps reveal more of the natural lip, increases upper tooth show when smiling, and smooths fine lines above the lip.

Recovery involves minimal downtime, with most swelling and redness improving within 1 to 2 weeks. Sutures are typically removed around day 5, and mild tightness may persist for several weeks as tissues heal. Full results become more apparent over a few months, providing a permanent, youthful, and natural enhancement to the upper lip.
