Techniques named for lip lift: Italian Lip Lift, Bullhorn (sub-nasal) lip lift.
A lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia, keeping you comfortable and awake
The bullhorn lip lift, also known as the subnasal lip lift, involves a bullhorn-shaped incision placed discreetly beneath the base of the nose.
The bullhorn lip lift can achieve the same goals as lip fillers with results that last much longer than filler.
A bullhorn lip lift is a procedure that shortens the philtrum and decreases space between the bottom of the nostrils and the top of the upper lip–rolling out the upper lip, making it more prominent and appear fuller.
Unlike injectable fillers which add volume, a lip lift re-positions existing tissue to reveal more of the “pink” portion of the upper lip, expose more of the upper teeth when smiling, improve lip definition, and refresh overall facial balance.
A lip lift provides permanent results in terms of repositioning since it involves removing a
The central lip lift focuses specifically on the area directly beneath the nose and above the Cupid’s bow.
The best candidates for a bullhorn lip lift are those looking for a long term solution to enhance their lips.
A bullhorn lip lift is considered a permanent procedure with results lasting up to, and often longer than, a decade.
For many patients, the distance between the nose and the upper lip lengthens over time, resulting in a longer, older look. A lip lift with Dr. Said in Seattle offers a subtle yet impactful enhancement that shortens this distance
This is the most common type of lip lift performed by Dr. Said. A small strip of excess skin is removed just below the nose, allowing the upper lip to be gently lifted.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each Seattle 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 Seattle clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Seattle 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.
