Improves the definition of the upper lip and enhances balance with surrounding facial features.
By reducing the length between the nose and the upper lip, the smile may appear more open and balanced.
Provides a structural change to the lip shape without the need for injectable fillers.
We will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and evaluate whether this procedure is appropriate for your needs. Common reasons people consider a lip lift include:
Desire for greater definition or proportion in the upper lip.
Addressing elongation of the upper lip with age.
To refine results from earlier non-surgical procedures.
We begin with a detailed discussion of your goals, facial anatomy, and realistic outcomes. A personalised surgical plan is developed based on your needs.
You’ll receive pre-operative guidance to help ensure your safety and best possible results.
The surgery is performed under local or general anaesthesia. Excess skin is carefully removed from beneath the nose to lift the upper lip. The approach is designed to maintain natural proportions.
Mild swelling and discomfort are common in the first week. Stitches are typically removed within 5–7 days, and most patients can resume normal activities soon after. Healing times vary between individuals. Detailed aftercare and follow-up support will be provided.
All surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, and anaesthetic reactions. These risks and the expected recovery process will be explained during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
Results from a lip lift can be long-lasting. However, natural ageing, genetics, and lifestyle factors can affect long-term appearance.
