Upper Lip Lift

Rediscover a Youthful, Balanced Smile with an Upper Lip Lift

Over time, the space between the base of the nose and the top of the lip (the philtrum) can lengthen, a subtle yet significant sign of facial ageing. This can result in a thinner-looking upper lip, create an unbalanced facial aesthetic, and reduce the visibility of the upper teeth when you smile. An Upper Lip Lift is a precise surgical procedure designed to correct this, restoring youthful proportions and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile.

What is an Upper Lip Lift?

An Upper Lip Lift is a refined procedure that shortens the philtrum. By removing a small, carefully measured strip of skin from just beneath the nose, the upper lip is gently elevated into a more youthful position. This technique provides a subtle 'pout' and increases the amount of visible pink lip tissue, creating a more defined and fuller appearance without the need for dermal fillers. It is an ideal solution for achieving a permanent, natural-looking enhancement.

The Aesthetic Benefits of a Lip Lift

This procedure offers a powerful yet understated facial rejuvenation:

• Improved Smile Aesthetics: A key benefit is the increased visibility of the upper teeth, a hallmark of a vibrant, youthful smile.

• Youthful Balance: By restoring a shorter philtrum, the procedure brings the lower third of the face back into a more youthful and harmonious balance.

• Natural Facial Proportions: The lift provides a beautifully natural enhancement that respects and improves your unique facial structure.

Your Questions Answered

We are dedicated to ensuring you feel fully informed and confident about your procedure.

• Surgical Duration: The Lip Lift is an efficient procedure, typically completed in around one hour.

• Anaesthesia: For your comfort, the surgery is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, meaning the area is completely numb and you are in a calm, relaxed state.

• Recovery and Healing: The initial healing phase takes approximately 5 to 7 days. Some residual swelling may persist for 1 to 2 weeks, but this will subside to reveal the final result.

• Longevity and Scars: The results of a lip lift are permanent. While the natural ageing process will, of course, continue, the structural change is lasting. The incision is skillfully hidden in the natural crease under the base of the nose, and the resulting scar fades to become very inconspicuous over time.
