Cheat Sheet

Considering plastic surgery what you should know first

What does the procedure entail?

The upper lip lift is a same-day, 40 minute procedure in which the patient is awake but numbed. The solution to improving an elongated upper lip is to reduce the length of the upper lip area. By surgically removing the tissue beneath the nose, the lips can be made to look lifted and the smile more attractive. Luckily, the incision is placed directly at the base of the nose, with little to no visibility of the scar over time.

What is the recovery like?

Swelling should subside within 1-2 weeks and tightness should diminish within a few months. Mild discomfort may occur but should not hinder day-to-day tasks.

Day Of Your Procedure

This cosmetic procedure is performed under local anesthesia, meaning you will be awake but numbed. Numbing the area will sting slightly, but is tolerable for our patients. This same-day surgery takes approximately 40 minutes. A bullhorn strip of skin is removed and the incision is placed at the base of the nose. Any scarring will be well hidden in the crease of the nose. No muscles or nerves will be affected during this procedure, so there is no risk of losing sensation in the lip or nose area. This surgery is sometimes combined with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty.

Lip Lift Recovery

Stitches will be placed at the base of the nose, which will need to be taken out one-week post-op. You will experience some pain and tightness for up to one month. The swelling will decrease within 1 to 2 weeks. Mild discomfort may occur but should not interject with your day to day task.

Everyone heals differently, so recovery may vary from patient to patient. Scarring will be minimal and generally located in the crease of the nose where it will not be noticed. Most patients are back to their normal routine within 10 days post-op.

After the surgery you should:

Get plenty of rest during the first 48 hours of your recovery. This will help promote healing.
Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 7 days. Do not bend or lift heavy items.
Avoid foods that require a lot of chewing. Choose foods that are soft and easy to digest for the first few days after your surgery.
Avoid hot liquids and salty foods for the first 48 hours.
Refrain from sleeping on your face. You will want to rest on your back with your head elevated.
Do not open your mouth too wide and be mindful of your sutures.
Be careful when brushing your teeth. You may want to use a smaller toothbrush than normal, such as a child’s toothbrush.
Rinse your mouth out after each meal and be sure to clean your incisions according to your doctor’s post-op instructions.
Keep your lips moisturized with Vaseline, Carmex or a similar lip balm for up to three weeks after your surgery.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Who is the Ideal Candidate for an Upper Lip Lift?

Traditionally, this type of procedure was sought after by middle-aged women, but younger women are now looking for sexier fuller lips that look natural. An upper lip lift is ideal for those who have an elongated upper lip, want to improve the border of the lips, looking to improve the visibility of teeth when they smile or have a diminishing Cupid’s bow.

What Noticeable Changes Will I See After A Lip Lift?

Fuller and poutier lips
Improves the shape and length of lips
More prominent lip line
Improve smile and show more teeth
Reduce fine lines on the upper lip
Subtle improvement of the corners of the mouth
Makes the lips and lower face appear younger

What is the difference between a lip lift and fillers?

A lip lift provides permanent results and eliminates issues with an elongated upper lip. Lip fillers are designed to help increase the volume of the lips, but results are temporary and will not help with the elongation of the upper lip area.
