What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip, increasing the amount of visible pink lip tissue. By creating a subtle lift, this treatment enhances lip shape, improves symmetry, and can make the lips appear fuller without the need for injectable fillers. The incision is carefully placed at the base of the nose, ensuring minimal scarring and a more youthful, balanced appearance.

Lip lifts are ideal for patients who wish to improve their smile's proportions, enhance their facial harmony, and achieve results that cannot be replicated with temporary, non-surgical treatments.

Benefits of a Lip Lift

A lip lift in Boston at Ahn Point Facial Plastic Surgery provides a range of advantages for individuals seeking long-lasting improvements in lip shape and proportion:

Enhanced Lip Definition: By repositioning the upper lip, the procedure reveals more of the pink lip tissue, resulting in a fuller, more defined appearance.
Balanced Facial Proportions: A lip lift improves the relationship between the nose, lips, and chin, helping to create a harmonious overall facial aesthetic.
Youthful Appearance: Elevating the upper lip can reduce the look of a long upper lip and restore a more youthful, vibrant smile.
Long-Lasting Results: Unlike temporary solutions, a lip lift offers enduring enhancements that do not require regular maintenance.
Minimal Scarring: Incisions are discreetly placed at the base of the nose, ensuring that visible scarring is minimal and easily concealed.

What to Expect During Your Lip Lift Procedure in Boston

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Ahn Point Facial Plastic Surgery, during which Dr. Ahn will evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. On the day of surgery, local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort. A small, carefully measured strip of skin is removed beneath the nose, allowing the upper lip to lift and reveal more pink lip tissue.

The incision is meticulously closed, resulting in a discreet scar concealed along the natural contours of your nose. Post-surgery, mild swelling and discomfort are common and typically subside within a few days. Most patients return to light activities within a week, following Dr. Ahn's post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery. Over time, the incision fades, and you'll enjoy a beautifully balanced, more youthful smile that enhances your natural features.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Lip Lift?

You may be an ideal candidate for a lip lift in Boston with Dr. Ahn if you feel that your upper lip appears elongated, your smile lacks fullness, or you desire a more proportionate balance between your lips and other facial features. Good candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and understand that a lip lift is a surgical procedure with a recovery period. It is suitable for both men and women seeking a permanent alternative to temporary lip enhancements like injectable fillers. During your consultation, Dr. Ahn will assess your concerns, review your medical history, and determine whether a lip lift is the most appropriate treatment to help you achieve your goals.
