One procedure; permanent
Sutures under the nose for about a week, swelling for 1 to 2 weeks, scar maturing over a year
People with a long upper lip, a thin upper lip that filler over-projects, or an upper lip that hides the teeth when the mouth is relaxed; most often people over 35, when the lip lengthens with age
What the one Manchester practice that lists lip lift says on its own website (checked September 2026); something it does not mention it may still offer, so ask at your consultation.
A lip lift is typically performed under IV sedation, ensuring you are perfectly relaxed throughout your procedure while minimizing the risks associated with general anesthesia. Treatment time is usually one hour.
During a lip lift, a small wedge of skin is removed from under the nose, shortening the length of the philtrum (the central corridor running from the upper lip to the base of the nose.)
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Manchester 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 Manchester clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Manchester 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.
