A lip lift is long-lasting and consistent and takes about an hour under local anesthesia.
Unlike injectable lip augmentation, a lip lift creates lasting structural changes that improve lip shape and proportion.
While a facelift mainly addresses the cheeks and midface, an added lip lift can help correct volume in the upper lip and provide more balanced and natural-looking overall facial rejuvenation.
A lip lift produces long-lasting results. As we age, changes may reduce the effect, but the surgery provides stable results and may never need to be revised.
After your lip lift, you can expect swelling, mild bruising, and tightness around the upper lip and base of the nose. These are normal and typically peak within the first 48 hours before gradually improving over the next week.
It also does not address the lengthening of the upper white lip and the loss of dental show with speech and smiling. Alternatively, a lip lift is a surgical procedure that offers subtle yet long-lasting improvements.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each San Jose 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 San Jose clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most San Jose providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6 to 12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
