Upper Lip Lift

The upper lip lift, or lip lift, is an aesthetic procedure aimed at shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip. It helps achieve a more harmonious mouth, a brighter smile, and a younger appearance.

Why choose a lip lift?

With age or naturally, the upper lip may appear elongated, reducing the visibility of the teeth and giving a less dynamic look to the face. The lip lift corrects this effect by elevating the lip and enhancing its curvature, without adding volume.

Benefits of the lip lift
   • Rejuvenating effect: restores dynamism to the lower face.
   • Improved smile: the upper teeth are more visible.
   • Natural and lasting result: no need for repeated injections.
   • Harmonization of proportions: ideal for balancing facial features.

Procedure

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, on an outpatient basis. A small incision is made under the nose to remove excess skin and lift the lip. The scars are discreet and well hidden in natural folds.

Aftercare and recovery

Light swelling and bruising may occur in the days following the procedure, but they gradually disappear. Resuming activities is possible after a few days, with complete healing in a few weeks.

Is it right for you?

The lip lift is suitable for patients wishing to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip without adding volume. An appointment with a specialist will assess your morphology and expectations for a tailored result.

6 excerpt(s) from our FAQ on this topic…
Yes, it is common to combine several procedures (lifting + eyelids, lifting + lipofilling, etc.) for a comprehensive and cohesive rejuvenation.
A lip lift is a surgical procedure aimed at shortening the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip. This allows the lip to be lifted, revealing more of the pink part (vermilion) and rejuvenating the smile by restoring character to the face.
It is indicated for patients with a long, thin, or sagging upper lip, whether due to aging or a natural characteristic. It is also sought by younger patients who desire a plumper and more dynamic appearance without repeated injections.
Hyaluronic acid injections add volume but do not affect the height of the white lip (the space between the nose and the lip). The lip lift, on the other hand, permanently elevates the lip without adding artificial volume.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. A thin strip of skin is removed at the base of the nose (the so-called “bullhorn” technique), and then the lip is lifted and carefully sutured.
The scar is hidden at the base of the nose, in its natural folds. It fades very well over time, especially if postoperative care is properly followed.
