Techniques named for lip lift: Subnasal Lip Lift (Bullhorn Lift).
In their words
Elsa Raskin, MD
The lip lift is usually done as an outpatient procedure. It is typically performed under local anesthesia. Intravenous sedation is used in some cases.
Sandra Margoles, MD
Dr. Margoles carefully places lip lift incisions to minimize the appearance of scarring. Often, she makes incisions along the base of the nose, where shadowing and transitions will camouflage them.
The Aesthetic Center Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa
As part of a facelift, the Lip Lift is a simple addition to the procedure for a single recovery and is a great way to address signs of aging in the lips
Anya Kishinevsky, M.D.
Unlike fillers and BOTOX, a lip lift is permanent. While the natural aging process may change your lift results over time, they will still be longer-lasting than injectables.
Andre Shomorony, MD - Facial Plastic Surgery
Unlike injectable fillers, which increase fullness by adding volume, a lip lift alters structure and position.

Subnasal Lip Lift (Bullhorn Lift) – The incision is in the shape of a bullhorn. It is made directly below the base of the nose
Sandra Margoles, MD
After a lip lift, the lip/nose area may be tender or bruised. Swelling is common, but prescription pain medications are not usually necessary. Most patients can manage any discomfort using over-the-counter pain medications.
The Aesthetic Center Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa
Very tiny, delicate incisions will be made, typically just below your nostril, and a small strip of skin will be removed. The remaining skin will then be repositioned and sutured for the most minimal scarring possible. Typically, a lip lift takes less than an hour
Anya Kishinevsky, M.D.
While a lip lift is considered surgery, it is so simple that you do not require sedation. A simple local anesthetic is usually all you need to feel comfortable while our plastic surgeon gives your lips the look you desire.
Andre Shomorony, MD - Facial Plastic Surgery
Dr. Shomorony performs lip lift surgery for patients in Greenwich, CT and throughout Fairfield County with a focus on proportion and refinement. His approach emphasizes conservative elevation to maintain softness and avoid tension or distortion around the nose.

How often should I get Lip Lift?
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Stamford providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6 to 12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Can I wear makeup after Lip Lift?
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Lip lift or lip filler?
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.
Where is the scar?
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.
What is the recovery?
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.
What does it cost?
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.
