Lip Lift
A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to create a more balanced and refined appearance of the upper lip. Think of it as gently adjusting the space between the nose and the upper lip to help the lips appear more visible and naturally enhanced. Rather than adding volume, a lip lift focuses on improving shape and proportion. As we age, or simply because of natural facial features, the distance between the nose and upper lip can become longer or appear longer. When this happens, the upper lip may look thinner or cover more of the pink part of the lip. A lip lift can help reveal more of the upper lip and create a softer, more youthful appearance.
Ideal Candidates for a Lip Lift
Good candidates are healthy patients who feel their upper lip appears thin, looks less visible when they smile, or who feel the space between the nose and upper lip is longer than they would prefer. Patients seeking a more defined lip shape and improved facial balance may also be excellent candidates.

More About
Lip Lifts
The goal of a lip lift is not to create an exaggerated appearance, but to enhance natural beauty with elegant, balanced results that complement the patient’s existing features.
- A lip lift can be performed awake under local anesthetic for the right patient (similar to how you may experience an awake procedure at the dentist office).
- The lip lift can be combined with other surgical procedures such as brow lift, eyelid lift, face, and neck lift under general anesthesia.
- Typically, a lip lift is performed in conjunction with the use of fat grafting to offer a natural volume enhancement to the lip.
