Ideal candidates also should not have a “gummy smile” because a lip lift can also make this more pronounced.
Surgical lip enhancement via lip lifting and lip advancement is essentially a permanent procedure because the anatomy is surgically altered.
You will notice an immediate difference in your upper lift after lip lift surgery. However, your full results will not be completely visible until after the swelling and incisions fade, which can take up to 3 months.
The lip lift is performed by removing a strip of the white skin just under the nose (“bullring”) or around the lip.

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.
