Lip Lift

A lip lift is an aesthetic surgical procedure that helps to achieve a fuller and shorter  upper lip, resulting in a more youthful appearance:

• it can create a fuller and more youthful upper lip

• it can enhance the shape and contour improving  the aesthetics of your smile 

• It can shorten the lip height achieving a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing lip to teeth as well as lip to nose ratio.

The procedure is highly customisable, and changes can be made according to the desired shape and peak of the cupid's bow and the vermilion border. It can be done under local anaesthesia as a day case. An incision is made just below the base of the nose. A measured amount of skin is then carefully removed and the upper lip is pulled up, reducing the distance between the nose and the upper lip. The entire procedure usually takes up to 1 hour. Though the usual downtime is 1-2 weeks, the final result is seen at 3-6 months and can last several years depending on your unique ageing process.
