Lip Lift: Enhance the beauty of your lips

Objective: To raise the upper lip, reducing its length

Treatment time: 30 to 45 min

Recovery: 3-5 days

Over the years, the upper lip undergoes changes that detract from its appearance. The skin often loses tone and elasticity, causing the upper lip to stretch.

This effect results in the red portion of the lip – the vermilion – becoming less visible. This is why you feel that your once beautiful, voluminous lip has become thinner.

In another scenario, there are patients who have resorted to lip fillers, to increase the redness in order to make it

less thin, and felt that the result may have been exaggerated or unnatural, especially if the lip protrudes forward – the so-called “duck-bill”.

It also happens that there are patients who enjoy the results of fillers, but would like to avoid having to repeat the treatment on a regular basis, and are looking for something more permanent.

The lip lift is an effective solution for a younger, more harmonious and attractive smile.

What is a lip lift?

A lip lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that aims to elevate the upper lip, reducing its length, making the vermilion more visible, and even increasing the exposure of the
upper teeth, if desired.

By repositioning the upper lip, this surgery enhances the Cupid’s bow, softens perioral wrinkles and creates a more harmonious balance between the upper lip and the rest of the face.

The lip lift has several advantages

It increases the exposure of the upper teeth, revealing a younger, more vibrant smile.

It highlights the most beautiful and defining part of the lip – the vermilion.

It enhances the natural curvature of the upper lip, giving it a more sensual and defined look.
