Lip Lift
A lip lift is an in-office surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the top of the lip, known as the “philtrum.”
the lip lift is a procedure which reduces the space between the bottom of your nose and the top of your lips. The pink part of the lip can be 1/3 to 1/2 the volume of the area between the top of the lip and the nose in general. The lip lift is designed to shorten the upper lip, allowing people even in their twenties to benefit from this procedure.
The lip lift is a procedure that elevates the position of the upper lip with respect to the teeth, giving a broader smile. The amount of pink lip that is seen is also increased, giving the patient wider lips. The lips can also be made fuller with lip augmentation by injecting abdominal fat into the lips during the same surgical session. The overall effect of the lip lift is a more esthetically pleasing mouth with a youthful appearance. The patient satisfaction rate is very high.
- The procedure increases the amount of pink tissue that’s visible which makes the lips look fuller and more pronounced. It also increases how much of your upper central teeth show when your lips are resting.
- It’s a good option for people who want to add height instead of volume to their lips.
- The lip lift procedure is done in a surgeon’s office and a patient will likely be given local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia because the pain isn’t too intense.
DURATION:
In most cases, this process is performed under local anesthesia but can be under IV sedation and takes about one hour to complete.
Recovery:
The active recovery period from lip lift surgery lasts about 5-7 days. Patients usually experience a moderate amount of swelling and may experience some pain or discomfort in the first 72 hours.
