Current Facial Plastic SurgeryIn young individuals with a small or poorly defined upper lip, a lip lift can better define the cupid’s bow and increase red lip show. In older individuals, lip lifts can address the telltale signs of aging – elongated white lips, loss of volume, wrinkles, and lipstick bleed lines.
FAQ

Lip Lift in Myrtle Beach: common questions

How much does Lip Lift cost in Myrtle Beach?

Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Myrtle Beach 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 Myrtle Beach clinics for a personalized quote.

When will I see results from Lip Lift?

Initial results in 2 to 4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Myrtle Beach providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.

Can I wear makeup after Lip Lift?

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

Lip lift or lip filler?

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.

Where is the scar?

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.

What is the recovery?

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.

What does it cost?

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.
