He will discuss the specific type of lip lift that is best for you, whether a subnasal or a corner lip lift, and how each technique will address your concerns.
A lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia in our office. Dr. Maffi will carefully plan the incision, usually placed at the base of the nose, to minimize visible scarring.
Both a subnasal lip lift and corner lip lift are performed through small incisions that are well-camouflaged. The incisions are closed using sutures which dissolve on their own or are removed one week after surgery.
A Lip Lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the philtrum, the area between the nose and upper lip. Through a carefully concealed incision beneath the nose, the upper lip is elevated into a more youthful position.
Unlike temporary fillers, which need frequent touch-ups, a lip lift provides a permanent solution, enhancing the fullness of the upper lip and accentuating the natural shape of the cupid’s bow.
Recovery from lip lift surgery typically takes two to three weeks, with most returning to work and normal activities around 2 weeks.
Following a lip lift, you can expect mild swelling, tightness, and some bruising in the upper lip area. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume normal routines within a week.
If the natural lip fullness is inadequate, a lip lift is often combined with a dermal filler injection for volume augmentation.
Ideal candidates are men and women who feel their upper lip appears thin, elongated, or lacks youthful definition. Many patients seeking a Lip Lift are looking for a permanent enhancement that improves facial harmony without relying on repeated filler treatments.
Some patients mistakenly think they need a total lip lift surgery when in reality, they need the gummy smile procedure.
Depending on the technique used, the lip lift may only take several minutes to complete or could take up to two hours. In the first two weeks after your surgery, you will likely experience some pain, swelling, and bruising as your lips and face heal and adjust.
Not every patient from Scottsdale, Phoenix, and nearby communities is seeking a lip lift with the same goals. Some patients want to shorten a long upper lip, while others hope to create better balance or replace fillers with a lasting solution.
A lip lift, on the other hand, is a facial surgical procedure that reshapes the upper lip itself. The results are permanent, offering a structural improvement that fillers cannot achieve.
Our lip lift in Scottsdale provides a way to change the shape, position and fullness of the lips more dramatically, and for many years to come.
The lip can look thinner and partially cover the upper teeth, which adds to the aging effect. A lip lift resolves these issues, leaving the upper lip in proportion, and attractively shaping and positioning the upper lip.
offers a surgical lip enhancement procedure (also called lip vermilion advancement, or simply a lip lift) to give people from the Scottsdale, Arizona, area fuller, very natural-looking lips.
A lip lift is a surgical treatment that shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance.

Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Scottsdale 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).

Results vary by patient, but most Scottsdale providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Lift series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Scottsdale 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.
