A lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia, although sedation may be used in some cases. The procedure generally takes less than one hour to complete and is usually performed on an outpatient basis.
If you smoke, you’ll need to stop several weeks before the lip lift in Reno.
A direct lip lift is a surgical technique designed to increase the visible height of the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin just above the lip border.
Unlike injectable fillers, which add temporary volume, a lip lift provides a permanent enhancement by repositioning the upper lip.
A corner lip lift focuses on the outer corners of the upper lip to improve the look of a downturned or “sad” appearance.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Reno 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 Reno clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2 to 4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Reno providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Reno 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.
