During a central lip lift, an incision is made at the lower part of the nose to shorten the distance between the lips and the nose.
Over time the upper lip can droop and lose volume. A lip lift in Walnut Creek is utilized to increase the visible amount of the lips and it can be an excellent permanent alternative to lip filler .
Generally, a lip lift takes approximately one hour to complete. Before the procedure, Dr. Rankin will inject lidocaine into the lip area to maximize your comfort.

Initial results in 2 to 4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Walnut Creek providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Walnut Creek 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.
