Lip Lift

Medivia İnternational

A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by shortening the
distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. It can create a more defined lip contour,
increase the visibility of the vermilion border (the border between the lips and the surrounding skin),
and provide a fuller, more youthful appearance to the lips.

Question - Answer

Who is a good candidate for a lip lift?

Good candidates for a lip lift are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of a long or thin
upper lip, lack of lip definition, or an overly prominent philtrum (the vertical groove between the
nose and the upper lip). Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations
about the outcomes of the procedure.

What are the benefits of a lip lift?

The benefits of a lip lift include a more defined lip shape and contour, increased lip volume and
fullness, enhanced lip symmetry, and a more youthful appearance overall. It can also improve the
balance and harmony of facial features.

How is a lip lift performed?

During a lip lift procedure, a small incision is typically made at the base of the nose, either directly
within the nostrils (closed technique) or just below the nostrils (open technique). Excess skin is then
removed, and the remaining tissue is elevated to shorten the distance between the nose and the
upper lip. The incision is then closed with sutures.

What is the recovery process like after a lip lift?

The recovery process after a lip lift varies from patient to patient but generally involves some
swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days. Patients are typically advised to avoid
strenuous activities and to keep their head elevated to minimize swelling. Most swelling and bruising
subside within a few weeks, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within 1-2
weeks.

What is a lip lift, and what concerns or issues does it address?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by shortening the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. This procedure aims to create a fuller and more youthful look to the lips. It addresses concerns such as a long upper lip, reduced lip volume, or signs of aging around the mouth.

What can individuals expect during the recovery period after a lip lift, and how long does it typically take to see the final results?

The recovery period after a lip lift can vary, but patients generally experience some swelling and bruising, which gradually diminishes over the first week or two. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a week, but strenuous activities may need to be avoided for a few weeks. While initial results are noticeable shortly after the procedure, the final outcome becomes more apparent as swelling decreases. Full recovery and optimal results may take several weeks to a few months.
