Lip Lift

Achieving well-shaped and youthful lips.

The Lip Lift improves facial harmony by reducing the distance between the upper lip and the nose, while simultaneously enhancing the overall facial aesthetic and boosting self-confidence.

Lips gradually lose their volume and their shape fades, often due to repetitive facial expressions and the natural aging process. By correcting the shape of the upper lip and removing excess skin, we achieve an absolutely natural, attractive, and youthful result.

THE PROCEDURE

With the passage of time, the length between the nose and the upper lip gradually increases, while the upper lip tends to turn inward and decrease in visible volume—a condition that traditional hyaluronic acid fillers cannot fully correct. With a Lip Lift, we restore the proportions of a youthful lip and achieve an entirely natural result that enhances facial balance.

During the procedure, the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose is reduced, and excess skin in the area is removed. This lifts the upper lip, making the lips appear fuller and more defined, refreshing the entire perioral area for a total and natural rejuvenation.

The primary technique involves a small incision at the base of the nose (subnasal), which becomes nearly invisible once healed. In some cases, it is combined with internal incisions, while the recovery process is very mild.

COMBINED PROCEDURES

The Lip Lift is often combined with procedures aimed at facial rejuvenation, such as a Facelift and Necklift.

It can also be paired with fat transfer to the lips for those seeking a permanent increase in volume, as well as injectable treatments such as:

Biostimulators

PRF Biological Filler

Botox

The Lip Lift is an ideal procedure for those seeking a youthful smile and a long-lasting, natural result.
