Lip lifts are a surgical procedure; while the treatment may not hurt, they do require recovery time. During the recovery, you will feel some discomfort as the lips heal and take their new and improved form.
If you’ve noticed elongation of the upper lip with age, or feel that your lips lack definition or appear thin even with fillers, a lip lift may be the right solution. Ideal candidates are in good general health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations.
Upper Lip Lift: This surgery shortens the upper lip to uncover upper teeth, and increasing the appearance of the red portion of the upper lip. Although the procedure does not augment the lip volume, the elevation of the lip makes it appear larger.
A lip lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that shortens the space between the upper lip and the base of the nose, also known as the philtrum.
A lip lift enhances the natural curvature of your lips, shortens the space between nose and lip, and creates a more youthful, balanced, and subtly sensual appearance that still looks like you.
Corner Lip Lift: This procedure is performed on the edges of the mouth, and could be appropriate if you feel your face gives you a permanent frown, either through aging or genetics.
Unlike fillers or injectables, a lip lift offers permanent results.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Chicago 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 Chicago clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2 to 4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Chicago providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Chicago 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.
