What is a “Lip Lift”?
A lip lift is a procedure in cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the upper lip by raising it and adding to its fullness. This process involves creating incisions just above the upper lip, along the base of the nose, and then either lifting or shortening the upper lip to create a balanced look between the upper and lower lips. The tissue and skin above the cut are lifted and repositioned to create a more attractive, youthful appearance and a more pronounced upper lip. In some instances, a small portion of skin may be excised to further improve the outcome. There are various types of lip lifts, including the direct lip lift, bullhorn lip lift, and corner lip lift. The price of lip lift surgery fluctuates based on factors such as the specific procedure, the surgeon’s experience, among others. It’s advised to consult with a certified and seasoned cosmetic surgeon to determine the most suitable lip lift option and cost for your needs.
What are the types of lip lifts?
Lip lifts come in all shapes and sizes, each one doing its own thing. Here are some of the most common ones:
Subnasal Bullhorn Lift: Picture a seagull flying – that’s what the cut on your upper lip would look like. The skin above this cut is then moved up to give your upper lip a fuller, younger look.
Direct Lip Lift: This one involves a cut on the outer part of the upper lip and pulling it up towards the nose. It’s a good choice if you feel there’s too much space between your nose and your upper lip.
Italian Lip Lift: For this one, a cut is made on the border of your upper lip. It’s perfect if you’re looking to enhance the shape and outline of your lips.
Corner Lip Lift: This method involves making a cut at the corners of your mouth to lift the ends of your lips. It’s great if you feel the corners of your mouth are a bit droopy.
Modified Upper Lip Lift: This technique involves a cut under your nose and lifting the skin to shorten the space between your nose and upper lip. It’s a good option if you feel there’s too much space between these two points.
And remember, it’s always a good idea to chat with a certified and experienced cosmetic surgeon to figure out the best lip lift option for you.
Who’s a suitable candidate for a lip lift Procedure?
Thinking about getting a lip lift? Let’s see if you’re a good fit. Generally, if you’re in good health and have realistic expectations, you’re off to a great start.
Are you looking to add some height to your lips rather than volume? Then a lip lift could be for you. If you’ve tried fillers but they just aren’t cutting it (or are making your lips look too duck-like), a lip lift might be the way to go.
Tired of the upkeep of fillers? A lip lift could be a more permanent solution. If there’s a long distance between your nose and upper lip or if aging has made your upper lip droopy or elongated, a lip lift can help with that too.
Want to balance out your upper and lower lips or enhance the shape and contour of your lips? You guessed it – a lip lift could be the answer.
Just remember, it’s super important to chat with a licensed and experienced cosmetic surgeon to see if a lip lift is right for you. They’ll be able to walk you through the risks, benefits, and what to expect from the procedure.
Recovery After Lip Lift Surgery
It can be different for everyone and depends on the type of procedure, but here are some general things to expect:
The active recovery period usually lasts about a week. You might have some swelling and discomfort during the first 72 hours, but cold compresses and medication can help with that. Expect your lips to stay swollen for a week or two.
As for the incisions, they’ll typically need six to eight weeks to heal adequately.
In the weeks after the procedure, take it easy and avoid strenuous exercise and smoking. Try not to sleep on your face or open your mouth too wide. Oh, and keep those lips moisturized!
Remember, it’s super important to follow the post-op instructions your surgeon gives you to make sure everything heals properly and to lower the risk of complications. And don’t forget to go to your follow-up appointments so your progress can be monitored and any concerns can be addressed.
What are the differences between Lip Augmentation and Lip Lift?
Lip lift and lip augmentation are procedures, with the shared goal of improving the look of one’s lips. Let’s explore some differences between these two methods:
| Lip Augmentation | Lip Lift Surgery |
|---|---|
| Lip augmentation is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, into the lips to make them appear fuller | Lip lift is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions along the base of the nose, just above the upper lip, or along the vermillion border of the upper lip, and lifting or shortening the upper lip to restore balance between the upper and lower lips. |
| Lip augmentation is focused on increasing lip volume | Lip lift is not focused on increasing lip volume, but rather on adding height to the lips. |
| Lip fillers work by adding volume to the lips | Lip lift surgery can reposition upper lips that have become elongated or sagging with natural aging. |
| Lip augmentation is a less invasive procedure than lip lift surgery | Lip lift surgery is a more invasive procedure than lip augmentation. |
| Lip augmentation is a temporary solution that requires maintenance and repeat treatments | Lip lift surgery is a permanent solution that does not require maintenance or repeat treatments. |
