What is Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the lip. This creates a more youthful, defined lip shape while improving overall facial balance.

Unlike dermal fillers, a lip lift focuses on structure and proportion, offering a long-lasting solution for patients seeking natural enhancement without added volume.

Book Consultation

Yes. A lip lift can sometimes be combined with other facial surgeries to enhance overall facial harmony. This will be discussed during your consultation.

Most patients can return to work within 5 to 7 days after a lip lift, depending on the nature of their job and individual healing. Mild swelling and bruising are common in the first few days but usually subside quickly. Patients with desk-based work often resume sooner, while those in physically demanding roles may need additional recovery time.

Lip lift results are generally long-lasting and often considered permanent. Because the procedure removes a small section of skin to shorten the space between the nose and upper lip, the enhancement does not typically reverse over time. Natural aging will continue, but the improved lip shape and balance usually remain for many years.

Scarring from a lip lift is usually minimal and well concealed. The incision is carefully placed at the base of the nose, following the natural contours. Over time, the scar fades significantly and becomes barely noticeable. Proper aftercare and following your surgeon’s instructions help ensure optimal healing and scar appearance.

Your safety, our Priority

Key considerations before surgery

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with an in-person consultation where your surgeon will assess your facial proportions, discuss your goals, and determine whether a lip lift is suitable for you. In many cases, a lip lift may be considered alongside a facelift or recommended following a facelift to enhance overall facial balance. Your surgeon will guide you through all suitable options and only recommend additional procedures where appropriate and agreed upon.

Anaesthesia

Lip reduction can be done under local anaesthesia, with or without sedation, and the procedure typically takes about 60 minutes.

Procedure

Incisions: A discreet incision is made beneath the base of the nose, carefully positioned to minimise visible scarring. Reshaping: A small section of skin is removed to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, enhancing lip shape and definition. Refinement: The upper lip is gently lifted and repositioned to create a natural, balanced appearance that complements the facial features.

Recovery & Aftercare

Mild swelling, tightness, or bruising around the upper lip is normal following surgery and gradually settles over the following weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light daily activities within a short period. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided, and follow-up appointments will be arranged to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
