By shortening the philtrum during an upper lip lift, we can effectively correct the droopy and down turned appearance of the lips.
Unlike lip filler, a lip lift is a permanent surgical solution to the elongated upper lip that comes with age
Alternatives to lip lifts are temporary solutions to thin lips. You can see long-lasting to permanent results with a lip lift.
For some patients, it can be incredibly beneficial to combine an upper lip lift with additional procedures to restore youthful balance and harmony.
Dr. Zenn frequently performs a lip lift in conjunction with a facelift rather than as a stand-alone procedure. A facelift addresses sagging and volume loss in the mid-to-lower face and neck, but it does not shorten the upper lip or restore lost tooth show.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Raleigh 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 Raleigh clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2 to 4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Raleigh providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Results vary by patient, but most Raleigh providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Lift series.
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.
