How Does a Lip Lift Work?
A consultation at FACEOLOGYMD begins the process, where this initial meeting will confirm your compatibility with the treatment and allow the specialist to evaluate your lip structure and discuss your outcome goals. A tailored treatment plan will be created, detailing the specifics of your procedure and outlining what to expect before, during, and after. There are several lip lift techniques available, and the specialist will select the most suitable approach from the following methods:
Deep Plane Lip Lift – Our preferred technique involves a sub-nasal incision at the base of the nose. A segment of skin is carefully removed, and the lip is lifted in the deep plane, minimizing tension and scarring. This method enhances lip volume, emphasizing the Cupid’s bow for a natural look.
Corner Lip Lift – This technique elevates the outer corners of the lips via small incisions at the lip’s border, often combined with a central lip lift. It can also be performed independently to create a more pleasant, upturned smile in patients with downturned lips.
Gullwing Lip Lift – This technique uses a sub-nasal incision similar to the deep plane lip lift; however, only surface skin is lifted. Our specialist prioritizes the modern deep plane approach due to its improved suspension and better-healed appearance.
Lip Lift: Procedure and Recovery
The lip lift procedure and downtime afterward are both brief, the surgery is completed in one to two hours and, it is performed under local anesthesia or with a combination of local and sedation and takes one to two hours to complete. You will have small sutures that are removed after approximately five to seven days, comprehensive aftercare instructions on how to care for the surgical area and ensure a smooth recovery are provided.
Patients can expect minor discomfort and swelling, and some bruising may occur. Although some results are immediately noticeable, after two weeks, the initial swelling and bruising have subsided enough for the enhancement to really reveal itself. Healing under the surface will continue for one to two months, refining the outcome even further as tissues settle.
