Techniques named for lip lift: Modified bullhorn.
In general, a lip lift is performed with a small hidden incision right in the junction where the lip meets the nose.
In general, lip lift surgery will leave a very minimal, inconspicuous scar. The incision is tightly closed deep within the inner lip to help relieve stress on the incision. Most patients can barely notice where the incision was placed.
However, the results of a lip lift are permanent.
A lip lift can be performed in under an hour and has long-lasting, sometimes permanent, results.
A lip lift can provide permanent enhancement without requiring filler treatments.
The first group of people who should consider a lip lift are those who have small lips and a long white upper lip.
There are currently many approaches that are commonly employed during a lip lift surgery. The techniques most frequently used by our team are the modified bullhorn and corner lift strategies.
For patients who have thinner lips and are looking for a more dramatic enhancement, lip lift surgery can be combined with lip fillers to achieve optimal results.
During the lip lift procedure, your surgeon places small incisions in the lips or just under the nose to trim excess skin tissues, pull the lips to make them appear taut, and restructure the tissues to produce the desired results.
A lip lift enhances the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and the lip, creating a lifted and more defined shape.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Alpharetta clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD).

Results vary by patient, but most Alpharetta providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Lift series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Alpharetta providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6 to 12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Filler adds volume. A lip lift shortens the distance between nose and lip and rolls the lip outward, which shows more of the lip without adding to it. If your upper lip is long, so that the pink part is thin and your teeth do not show when your mouth is relaxed, filler makes the lip look heavier and longer, and a lift is the honest fix. If your lip is a good length but simply thin, filler is the right tool, and cheaper.
In the crease where the base of the nose meets the lip, following its natural curve, sometimes called a bullhorn shape. In experienced hands it heals into a faint line that the shadow under the nose hides. It is red and visible for the first months and matures over a year. Ask to see healed results at one year, straight on, before booking.
Sutures under the nose for about a week, swelling of the upper lip for one to two weeks, and a stiff upper lip for a few weeks that gradually softens. Most people are comfortable in public at one to two weeks. The result is visible immediately and refines as swelling settles.
Typically $3,000 to $6,000 including surgeon and facility, performed under local anesthesia in the office. A permanent result for roughly the cost of several years of lip filler.
