Lip Lift
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR LIP LIFT SURGERY?
A lip lift is ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their facial appearance by enhancing their lip shape without adding excessive volume. It is particularly effective for those who experience a lengthened philtrum due to aging or genetics, which can cause the upper lip to curl under and appear thinner. The procedure offers a permanent solution for fuller, more balanced lips without the need for regular filler touch-ups, making it a popular choice for younger and older patients alike.
A Lip Lift May Address:
- A long philtrum that reduces lip definition
- Naturally thin or curled-under upper lip
- Desire for a more defined Cupid’s bow and lip contour
- Need for a permanent alternative to lip fillers
A CUSTOM LIP LIFT:
A YOUNGER, MORE ATTRACTIVE
LIP APPEARANCE
At Sedgh Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jacob Sedgh offers advanced lip lift surgery for patients seeking to enhance their upper lip’s appearance. A lip lift creates a more youthful and balanced facial look by elevating the upper lip to reveal more of the natural pink lip. This procedure subtly shortens the philtrum (the area between the nose and upper lip), resulting in fuller-looking lips and a more defined Cupid’s bow. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Sedgh combines lip and chin surgical expertise with an eye for natural beauty, delivering results that harmonize with each patient’s unique facial structure.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LIP LIFT SURGERY?
- A more defined, prominent Cupid’s bow
- Increased lip curvature and projection
- More exposure of the upper teeth
- A larger, fuller upper lip
THE PROCEDURE
Performed as an outpatient procedure, a lip lift generally takes 20 to 60 minutes and is conducted under local anesthesia. Dr. Sedgh begins by carefully removing a small wedge of skin just below the nostrils, which shortens the philtrum and lifts the upper lip to roll outward slightly, creating a fuller look.
Procedure Steps:
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied for comfort during the procedure.
- Incision and Tissue Removal: A discreet incision is made below the nostrils, and a wedge of skin is carefully removed.
- Lip Lift and Suturing: The skin is lifted to increase lip exposure, then sutured meticulously for minimal scarring.
Recovery: Expect minor swelling or redness in the first week following surgery. Sutures are removed after a week, and most patients can resume regular activities at that time. The incision is placed discreetly under the nose, and any residual scarring fades over time.
