the Lip Lift can be comfortably performed under local anesthesia. With just a hairline incision, hidden within the rim of the nostrils and base of the nose
A lip lift is a minor procedure performed in the office under local anesthesia. The incision is hidden in the natural crease under the nose.
As the distance between the nose and upper lip increases, the lips may appear thinner and less youthful, even with filler treatments. An upper lip lift is a subtle surgical procedure designed to shorten the space above the lip
However, only a lip lift can shorten a long upper lip and naturally create a fuller, more attractive upper lip.

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
