Lifting of the upper lip

An upper lip lift, known as a lip lift, is an aesthetic surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip by removing a small piece of skin at the base of the nose. The procedure improves facial proportions and exposes the redness of the lips, giving the lips a fuller and more youthful appearance. Lip lift is a permanent solution for those wishing to improve lip shape without the need for fillers.

Duration: 1-2 hours.

Preparation: Consultation, avoid blood-thinning medication.

Course: Local anesthesia, removal of excess skin under the nose, suturing with concealment of the scar.

Results: Immediate lip lift, full effect after a few weeks.

Recovery: Swelling and redness disappear in 1-2 weeks; return to activity after 7-10 days.
