Lip lift treatment takes around one hour and is performed using local anesthesia.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have a naturally long upper lip, thin lips, or lips that turn downward, giving a less vibrant appearance. A lip lift can also improve lip symmetry and create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Lip lift (also known as subnasal lip lift or upper lip lift) is an upper lip enhancement procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia.
Unlike dermal fillers, which typically last 6-18 months, a lip lift will last for years to come.
Unlike lip fillers, lip lift surgery delivers permanent results but it cannot make your lips significantly fuller.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Queens 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 Queens clinics for a personalized quote.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Most patients have 1 to 3 days of mild redness or sensitivity, with full recovery in under a week.
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.
