Surgical Lip Lift

What To Expect

  • 1. Lip Definition & Proportion

    A surgical lip lift may help support improved definition and proportion of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the upper lip and nose, contributing to a more balanced and natural looking facial appearance.

  • 2. Long Lasting Improvement

    As a surgical procedure, a lip lift may offer a more enduring approach to addressing concerns related to lip volume, shape, and definition compared to non surgical alternatives. Individual outcomes vary and will be discussed in detail with your practitioner during consultation.

  • 3. Personalised Surgical Approach

    All procedures are performed by a qualified practitioner following a thorough consultation and individual assessment, ensuring the most appropriate surgical technique is recommended based on your individual facial anatomy, concerns, and expected outcomes.

The Procedure

A lip lift is performed by a qualified medical professional in a clinical setting. The incision is placed discreetly beneath the nose, with scarring generally subtle once fully healed.

  • Results: Effects are generally longer lasting than temporary injectable treatments, though individual outcomes vary. Final results are typically apparent after several months once swelling has fully resolved.
  • Recovery: Most patients experience swelling and bruising around the mouth for the first few days, generally subsiding within 1–2 weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days. Following aftercare instructions is important to support optimal healing.
