What Is Upper Lip Surgery?
Upper Lip Surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to shorten the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, known as the philtrum. This procedure reshapes the upper lip by removing a small section of skin beneath the nose, allowing the lip to lift naturally into a higher position. The result is improved facial proportion, a more defined lip shape, and increased visibility of the upper teeth when the face is at rest or during smiling.
Upper Lip Surgery is commonly performed to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance by reversing age-related elongation of the upper lip. Benefits include enhanced lip fullness without fillers, improved smile aesthetics, better balance between facial features, and a more defined cupid’s bow. This procedure focuses on structural improvement rather than temporary volume enhancement, offering long-lasting results.
How It Works
Upper Lip Surgery begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital, where facial balance, lip length, and smile line are carefully assessed. After evaluation, precise markings are made at the base of the nose to plan the amount of skin removal and lifting required. Local anesthesia is then administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. A small section of skin is removed beneath the nose, and the upper lip is gently lifted into a higher position to improve proportion and shape. The incision is carefully placed along the natural crease under the nose to minimize visible scarring. Downtime typically involves swelling and mild tightness for about 3 to 4 days, while sutures removal is usually completed within 5 to 7 days.
