Frequently Asked Questions
A Lip Lift (or Sub-Nasal Lip Lift) is an innovative procedure that removes a small amount of skin near the base of the nose to shorten the skin in between the nose and the upper lip. For the right client, this permanently improves facial balance and makes the upper lip look fuller (and younger).
A Lip Lift permanently increases the visual size of the upper red lip, providing a benefit many people look for in dermal fillers that only last for 6 – 12 months. Additionally, slightly decreasing the size of the skin above the lips can result in better facial balance and a more natural look. Finally, the procedure allows the teeth to show more when smiling.
There is some temporary swelling of the upper lip but the incision is hidden in the base of the nose. Most clients are fine working from home a day after the procedure, but we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for a week and then gradually resuming full activity over 2-3 weeks.
A Lip Lift can be performed with a local anesthetic and light oral sedation. Pain is usually minimal and is easily controlled with Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
