About this procedure
A Lip Lift enhances the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and lip. Through a small, well-hidden incision beneath the nose, the upper lip is gently elevated to create a fuller, more youthful appearance and a brighter, more attractive smile — all with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Ideal For
Patients with a long upper lip
Individuals seeking a fuller upper lip without fillers
Those wanting more upper tooth show when smiling
Patients looking for permanent lip enhancement
Individuals seeking improved facial balance and harmony
Those desiring subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation
Upper Lip Enhancement
STEP 01 · Before surgery.
STEP 02 · A design is drawn along the vermilion border of the upper lip and a fine incision is made.

Lower Lip Enhancement
STEP 01 · Before surgery.
STEP 02 · Unlike conventional enhancement, the design and incision are made along the inner mucosa of the lower lip.
STEP 03 · The lower lip mucosa is advanced outward so the scar stays hidden from the outside.

Lip Central Volume Enhancement
STEP 01 · Before surgery.
STEP 02 · The design is drawn with precision on the inner side of the lips for central volume enhancement.
STEP 03 · The inner lip mucosa in the central area is enlarged to add volume without visible scars.

Procedure
- 1
Consultation & Lip Assessment — Your surgeon evaluates your lip shape, facial proportions, and the distance between the nose and upper lip to determine the ideal amount of lift.
- 2
Anesthesia — The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and virtually painless experience.
- 3
Hidden Incision Placement — A small incision is carefully made along the natural crease beneath the nose, where the resulting scar can be well concealed.
- 4
Lip Elevation — A precise strip of skin is removed from beneath the nose, allowing the upper lip to be gently lifted into a higher position. This increases the visibility of the upper lip and enhances its natural shape.
- 5
Closure — The incision is meticulously closed with fine sutures to promote optimal healing and minimize visible scarring.
