We often combine the lip lift with a “corner lip lift” which raises the outer corners of your upper lip.
Some patients choose a surgical lip lift instead of repeat lip filler treatments because it provides longer-lasting results and addresses concerns that fillers cannot, such as shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip and improving tooth show.
A lower lip lift is generally performed if you have a very thin lower lip or an oversized upper lip.
A well planned lip lift hides the incision in the natural crease at the base of the nose, where the transition between nose and lip already creates a shadow and textural change.
Lip Lift generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 per procedure, and each The Woodlands 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 The Woodlands providers report 6 to 18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lip Lift series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most The Woodlands 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.
