Lip lift surgery offers a sophisticated alternative to temporary lip fillers, providing lasting enhancement that creates naturally fuller lips while maintaining the authentic character and movement that makes your smile uniquely yours.
Rather than adding volume, a lip lift repositions the upper lip so more of the natural lip show is visible.
Lip lift surgery is a precise procedure designed to enhance upper lip appearance by shortening the distance between the nose and lip, creating the appearance of fuller, more youthful lips while improving tooth show and overall facial proportions.
You may be a good candidate for a lip lift if you have a longer-than-desired philtrum, limited upper tooth show when smiling, or feel your upper lip looks thinner because less of it is visible.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Sandy Springs 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).

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