What is a Lip Lift

Upper lip lift surgery, also known as lip lift is performed to the patients who are particularly not happy with the length of the distance between their nose and upper lip. This procedure can reshape and revitalize thin or ageing lips, where it leads to a more aesthetically pleasing facial line.
Lip lift procedure is also preferred by people who would like to look more feminine by increasing the upper lift slightly and make the teeth more visible.
In medical terms, the upper lip is considered as the area between the base of the columella (lower end of the nose) and the line of the upper lip. Although it may vary due to person’s other facial features, the ideal range between the nose and upper lip is 12-15 millimetres. An upper lip exceeded this measurement could be seen as an irregularly long.

Lip Lift Procedure

Lip lift procedure is done under local anaesthesia, where the excess skin is removed just under the nose. There are some popular techniques available, where we only perform the superior “subnasale lip lift technique” in Essi Cosmetic Surgery to minimize the incision mark. The whole procedure takes between 30 to 60 minutes.
In this lip lift technique, the incision is made just under the nose, which is called subnasale upper lift (sub*below, nasale*nose). Once the excess skin is removed after incision, the upper lift is lifted by using suture. When the sutures are placed well, the skin edges would be adjusted to hide the incision as soon as possible.

Lip Lift Recovery

The recovery after subnasale lip lift surgery takes around 7 days. The incision mark will be visible and red in the first week but makeup can be applied after this to camouflage.

We expect to see a moderate amount of swelling in the first 2-3 days, where we advise our patients to use cold compress over the upper lip area, while the pain management is done by low dose painkillers. We advise our patients to sleep with extra pillows for the first week.
In most of the cases, absorbable sutures are used, so there is no need for removal of suture, however, your surgeon would be deciding this. The final result will be evident at 2 to 4 weeks.

Who Are The Best Candidates For Lip Lift

If the upper lip area (between the nose and upper lip) is over 18 mm, we advise our patients to undergo this procedure. If it is less, you can still do it, however the difference may be very small to recognize.
