Lip Lift Surgery

Lip lift surgery, also known as upper lip lift or lip shortening, is a cosmetic procedure that involves lifting the upper lip to create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This surgery is commonly performed on patients who have a long, thin upper lip or a lack of definition in the lip area.

Combined Surgeries

Lip lift surgery can be highly effective at creating a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

There are several techniques for performing a lip lift, and the best option for a particular patient will depend on factors such as the anatomy of the patient’s lips. 

Direct lip lift, Bullhorn lip lift and Corner lip lift may be combined with other procedures that improve your facial structure such as Facelift, Nose Correction, Chin Enhancement and Cheek Enhancement.

Procedure

There are several techniques for performing a lip lift, and the best option for a particular patient will depend on factors such as the anatomy of the patient’s lips, their desired outcome, and the surgeon’s experience and preference. Some common techniques for lip lift surgery include:

  1. Direct lip lift: This technique involves making a small incision at the base of the nose and removing a small amount of skin to lift the upper lip.

  2. Bullhorn lip lift: This technique involves making an incision below the nostrils in the shape of a bullhorn and removing a section of skin to lift the upper lip.

  3. Corner lip lift: This technique involves making incisions at the corners of the mouth to lift and shorten the upper lip.

Anaesthesia and length of the procedure

Lift Lip Surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic combined with oral or I.V. sedation. It takes 1-2 hours to complete depending on the exact procedure required.

Recovery

After the surgery, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two, although strenuous exercise and other activities may need to be avoided for several weeks.

Risks and Side Effects

All surgeries carry certain risks and even though they are rare you should be aware of them before making your decision. Mr Ferrando will talk you through any possible risks and side effects at his consultations as they will vary depending on the patient’s anatomy, age, physical condition and lifestyle.

During his procedures and treatments, he does everything possible to minimise the risk of complications by practicing a meticulously detailed approach and applying his world-class training background.
