In their words

CraftMD Aesthetics/WellnessA lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia when done on its own. IV sedation is used if another facial surgery, such as a facelift, neck lift, or brow lift, is also being performed in conjunction with your lip lift.
Skin and Face PhoenixThe most common type of lip lift surgery we perform on our Phoneix patients is called a bullhorn lip lift. During this procedure, a single incision is made below your nose, allowing the surgeon to elevate the center and sides of your upper lip.
Paquet Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery - Dr. Christian PaquetA lip lift is a surgical procedure which shortens the philtrum, or the space between the nose and upper lip. This increases the amount of visible pink tissue in the upper lip, creating a more voluminous appearance and increasing the amount of visible teeth as you smile.

FAQ

Lip Lift in Phoenix: common questions

How much does Lip Lift cost in Phoenix?

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

How often should I get Lip Lift?

Maintenance schedules vary. Most Phoenix providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6 to 12 months once optimal results are achieved.

How long do Lip Lift results last?

Results vary by patient, but most Phoenix providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Lift series.

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.
