Lip lift surgery uses subtle changes to the upper lip to improve the overall appearance of the lips and mouth, which can also impact the appearance of other facial features such as the mouth and midface. Unlike filler, the results are intended to be permanent.
A lip lift is a refined surgical technique that shortens the space between the nose and upper lip. This can increase the volume of the upper lip, create greater definition of the Cupid’s bow, and restore natural upper tooth show.

If you are on blood thinning medications, please discuss this with Dr. Yamasaki as arrangements will need to be made with your prescribing physician to safely stop blood thinning medications for the lip lift procedure.
Compared to lip fillers, a lip lift provides a permanent improvement in lip position and contour. It is an ideal procedure for older patients who have experienced lip elongation with age, as well as young patients born with a long philtrum.

Initial results in 2 to 4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Princeton providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Princeton 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.
