Lip Lift

What is a lip lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure performed to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose (philtrum), increase upper lip show, and create a more youthful, balanced, and lively appearance around the mouth.

This is not the same as lip filler. A lip lift is designed to improve lip position and visibility, rather than simply adding external volume.

Who is a good candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if you have one or more of the following:

A long-appearing distance between the upper lip and nose
A thin or less visible upper lip (especially while speaking or smiling)
Age-related elongation of the upper lip with reduced red lip show
Inability to achieve a natural-looking result with fillers alone
Desire for a more defined but natural upper lip contour

Suitability is determined based on facial proportions, lip anatomy, tooth show (at rest and during smiling), skin type, and your expectations.

What is the difference between a lip lift and lip fillers?

Lip fillers: Aim to increase lip volume and temporarily enhance shape.
Lip lift: Surgically elevates the upper lip, increases red lip show, and permanently shortens the philtrum.

In some patients, limited filler may still be considered before or after surgery, but this is not necessary for everyone.

What techniques are used?

The most commonly used approach is:

Subnasal (“bullhorn”) lip lift: The incision is placed within the natural contours at the base of the nose, and a thin strip of skin is removed to elevate the upper lip.

In some patients, modified techniques may be planned based on anatomy. The most appropriate technique is determined during consultation.

Where will the scar be?

The incision is usually placed just under the base of the nose, within natural contours, to camouflage the scar as much as possible.

Scars may be more noticeable (pink/red) early on and generally fade over time. Scar quality depends on individual healing characteristics, skin type, smoking, and adherence to scar care instructions.

Does a lip lift increase upper tooth show?

Yes. When planned appropriately, changing the position of the upper lip can increase the visibility of the upper central teeth at rest and/or while smiling. The goal is not an “over-toothy” look, but a natural result that fits your facial proportions.

Anesthesia and surgery time

A lip lift can often be performed under local anesthesia in most patients. Sedation may be an option in selected cases. Surgery typically takes about 30–60 minutes (depending on the patient and technique).

Pre-operative preparation

Common recommendations include:

If you smoke: reduce/stop smoking to support healing and scar quality
Adjusting blood thinners and certain supplements as advised
Evaluating current/previous lip fillers or lip procedures
Photography and surgical planning based on facial proportions
Social planning for the first few days after the procedure (due to swelling/redness)

Recovery and return to daily activities

A general timeline (varies by patient):

First 2–5 days: Swelling, tenderness, tightness, and mild restriction in lip movement may occur.
5–7 days: Sutures may be removed (depending on the technique/suture type used).
1–2 weeks: Most swelling improves; many patients can return to social activities.
3–6 weeks: Scar line and lip movement begin to look/feel more natural.
3–6 months: Scar maturation and clearer assessment of the final result.

Avoiding excessive lip movement in the early days, caring for the incision line, and attending follow-up visits help support healing.

Safety, risks, and important considerations

A lip lift is generally a small and safe procedure, but like any surgery, it carries risks. Commonly discussed risks include:

Swelling, bruising, tenderness
Bleeding, infection
Prominent scarring (hypertrophic scar/keloid tendency)
Temporary asymmetry or tightness in lip movement
Overcorrection/undercorrection (more or less lift than desired)
Contour irregularity near the lip margins
Temporary numbness or altered sensation
Rarely, the need for revision surgery

Important notes:

A lip lift changes facial proportions, so proper patient selection and conservative planning are very important.
Patients with a very short philtrum or certain anatomical features may not be ideal candidates, or may require a different plan.
Smoking may increase scar-related and wound-healing risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1) Is a lip lift permanent?

Yes. A lip lift is a surgical procedure, and its effect is long-lasting. However, the aging process continues over time.

2) Can I choose a lip lift instead of fillers?

In some patients, yes. If the main issue is upper lip length and visibility rather than volume, a lip lift may be a better option. This is determined during consultation.

3) Do I need to stop fillers completely?

Not always. In some patients, the need for fillers decreases after a lip lift; in others, a very limited amount of filler may still be used for shape support.

4) Will the scar be very noticeable?

The scar is designed to be hidden at the base of the nose. It may be more visible in the first months and usually fades over time. Scar quality depends on individual healing.

5) Will my upper teeth show more?

Yes, with proper planning, upper tooth show may increase somewhat. The goal is a natural result that is harmonious with the face.

6) Is the surgery painful?

Severe pain is not usually expected. Most patients experience tightness, tenderness, and mild soreness, which are generally manageable with medication.

7) When can I return to work?

For desk-based jobs, many patients return within 3–7 days. However, social planning may be helpful because of swelling and scar visibility.

8) When do speech and facial movements return to normal?

There may be mild restriction in the first few days due to tightness. Most patients feel significantly more comfortable within 1–2 weeks.

9) Will I see the result immediately?

Swelling can make the lip look different in the early period. The result is assessed more accurately over the following weeks as swelling improves.

10) Can asymmetry occur?

Temporary asymmetry can occur early due to swelling. Permanent asymmetry is uncommon, but natural facial asymmetry always exists to some degree.

11) Will I need revision surgery?

Most patients do not. However, revision may occasionally be needed for scars, asymmetry, or the amount of lift.

12) Can a lip lift cause a “duck lip” look?

With proper patient selection and conservative planning, the goal is to preserve a natural appearance. Avoiding overcorrection is very important.

13) Can I have a lip lift if I’ve had fillers before?

In most cases, yes. However, the presence of filler can affect lip anatomy assessment, so the treatment plan is adjusted accordingly during consultation.

14) Can men have a lip lift?

Yes. It can also be performed in male patients with suitable anatomy and expectations. Planning is individualized based on facial proportions.

Breast implant selection isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision.
The best result comes not so much from the implant type, but from a personalized plan.

🔹 Silicone or saline
🔹 Surface texture (smooth, textured, etc.)
🔹 Shape (round / anatomical)
🔹 Dimensions and gel type

All of these are chosen by evaluating together:
👩‍⚕️ breast tissue thickness
📐 skin quality
🦴 chest anatomy
🎯 nipple position

Also:
🔪 incision site
📍 implant placement (under the muscle, over the muscle, dual plane)
directly affects the outcome.

Accurate analysis + the right plan = High satisfaction ✨

Full-Face Autologous Fat Grafting | Before & 3 Months Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and 3-month results. ✨

In this case, I performed autologous fat grafting to the full face to restore volume, soften transitions, and enhance overall facial harmony. By using the patient’s own fat, we can address areas such as the midface, under-eye hollows, temples, and jawline with natural-looking contour improvement. A quick and effective procedure for patients who do not want a facelift.

At 3 months, swelling has largely settled and the result is becoming more stable, while subtle refinement can continue as the tissues fully mature.

Closed Rhinoplasty | Before & 4 Months Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and 4-month results. ✨

In primary rhinoplasty, I often prefer the closed technique, working through incisions inside the nostrils. This approach avoids an external scar and helps preserve the nasal skin envelope while allowing precise refinement of shape and balance.

At 4 months, the overall result is becoming clearer, but healing is still ongoing—subtle swelling can persist and the nose may continue to refine over the coming months as tissues fully settle.

Each rhinoplasty plan is individualized based on anatomy and goals, and detailed pre-op assessment is essential for a natural, long-lasting outcome.

Closed Rhinoplasty | Before & 1 Year Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and 1-year results. ✨

For primary rhinoplasty, I often prefer the closed technique. By working through incisions inside the nostrils, we can refine the nose while preserving the external skin envelope—helping to minimize visible scarring and support a natural-looking result.

At 1 year, the nose is typically much more defined and settled. However, healing can still continue—especially in thick-skinned noses, where the final refinement may take several years as swelling gradually resolves and the tissues mature.

Each nose is unique, so the best approach is always individualized through a detailed consultation and surgical planning.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) | Before & 2 Months Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and 2-month results. ✨

In abdominoplasty, the goal is not only to remove excess skin and subcutaneous fat, but also to restore a stronger, flatter contour by tightening the abdominal wall with plication sutures. By reinforcing the inner “corset” of the abdomen, plication can help create a more defined waistline and contribute to a more stable, long-lasting result.

At 2 months, the abdomen is usually much smoother and more contoured, although healing and scar maturation continue over the following months.

Breast Reduction & Lift | Before & 2 Weeks Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s before and 2-week results. ✨

At this stage, the breasts are becoming more settled, with improved lift, shape, and proportion—while healing and refinement will continue over the coming months.

One additional benefit of this procedure is that we can often reduce an enlarged areola diameter, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

It’s also important to remember that scar maturation takes time: scars are usually more noticeable early on, but they typically soften, fade, and blend progressively over months and even years, especially with proper scar care and follow-up.

Gynecomastia Surgery | Before & 3 Weeks Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and 3-week results. ✨

In this case, gynecomastia was much more pronounced on one side—and asymmetry like this is very common in male breast enlargement.

Using a 1–2 cm incision placed along the edge of the areola, we can perform both liposuction and gland excision through the same discreet access point. This allows us to hide the scar in the most natural location, where it typically blends very well over time.

At 3 weeks, healing is still in progress—swelling, firmness, and minor asymmetries can be normal, with continued improvement over the next few months as the tissues soften and settle.

Liposuction and Gluteal Augmentation with Autologous Fat Grafting (BBL) | Before & Post-Op Day 4

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and day 4 results. ✨

At post-op day 4, the body is still in the early healing phase. Swelling, bruising, and firmness are expected, and the shape will continue to change over the coming weeks to months as swelling settles and the transferred fat stabilizes.

After a BBL, long-term results depend on proper aftercare and following your surgeon’s guidance—especially regarding pressure avoidance, activity modification, and recovery protocols.

Every treatment plan is individualized based on anatomy, goals, and safety considerations. A detailed consultation is essential to determine the best approach for you.

In this case, I performed a breast lift using the patient’s own tissue, without breast implants—an option that can work beautifully when there is enough natural breast volume to reshape and support the new contour.

Along with lifting and reshaping, the areola diameter was significantly reduced to create a more balanced, harmonious appearance. At 5 days, healing is still in the early phase, so some swelling, firmness, and small asymmetries can be normal as the tissues settle.

It’s also important to remember that scar maturation takes time. Scars continue to soften and fade over months, and it can take a few years to reach their final appearance.

In this case, I performed a breast lift with implants using a 300 cc round implant placed under the muscle (submuscular), combined with a vertical-scar lift to improve breast position, shape, and overall proportions.

At 8 months, the breasts are typically well-settled and the contour is much more established. However, it’s important to remember that scar maturation takes time—scars usually continue to soften and fade over months, and reaching their final appearance can take a few years.

Also, while some patients may be candidates for an implant-free lift, when there isn’t enough natural breast tissue/volume, an implant may be necessary to achieve the desired fullness—especially in the upper pole—along with a stable lifted shape.

Rhinoplasty + Lip Lift | Before & 1 Month Post-Op

Swipe to see my patient’s pre-op and 1-month results. ✨

Combining rhinoplasty with a lip lift can be technically challenging because the incision areas are very close to each other. In these cases,
I prefer a closed rhinoplasty approach—placing the rhinoplasty incisions inside the nose—so they are kept as far as possible from the lip lift incision. This helps separate the surgical zones and supports a smoother healing process while refining both the nose and the upper lip in a balanced, harmonious way.

At 1 month, healing is still ongoing, and the result will continue to soften and refine over the coming months.

In this case, a 275 cc submuscular implant was removed and replaced with a 400 cc implant, and I also performed fat grafting to the cleavage (décolletage) area.

These two powerful steps—implant exchange + targeted fat transfer—help create a fuller, softer-looking cleavage and improve upper pole contour.

Because this is post-op day 4, the breasts can look very tight and high due to early swelling and tissue tension. Over the next weeks to months, swelling decreases, the implants settle, and the result will soften and look more natural as healing progresses.
