In their words

Dr. Colin McInnes Plastic SurgeryAn upper lip lift is performed by making an incision at the base of the nose, where the incision line is carefully camouflaged. A small amount of skin is removed and some of the upper lip skin is released to allow it to nicely re-drape.

FAQ

Lip Lift in Surrey: common questions

How much does Lip Lift cost in Surrey?

Lip Lift generally runs CAD$4,080 to CAD$8,160 per procedure, and each Surrey clinic sets its own price.

Pricing is quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Surrey clinics for a personalized quote.

How long do Lip Lift results last?

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

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.
