Techniques named for lip lift: Bullhorn Lip Lift.
The most commonly performed technique is the Bullhorn Lip Lift , named for the shape of the incision hidden beneath the base of the nose.
A lip lift can be performed for the upper lip, lower lip, or both. The purpose of a lip lift is to increase the height of the visibly pink portion of the lips.
A lip lift is especially beneficial for patients who have undergone multiple lip filler treatments but still feel their lips lack youthful shape, definition, or proper facial balance.
There are various techniques for achieving a lip lift. Your customized treatment may be completed in the office under local anesthesia and typically takes about one hour.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Brooklyn 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). Request a consultation from any of our listed Brooklyn clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Brooklyn providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Lift series.
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.
