A surgical lip lift and non-surgical fillers are both options for lip enhancement, but they cater to different goals and preferences. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which might be better for you:

Surgical Lip Lift

• Pros:
  • Permanent Results: Enjoy fuller, shapelier lips without needing repeated injections.
  • More Dramatic Change: Can address a longer philtrum, significant gum show, or downturned corners more effectively than fillers.
  • Sharper Definition: Creates a more defined Cupid’s bow and lip borders.
  • Avoids risk of achieving an unnatural-looking “duck lip” effect if too much filler is used.
• Cons:
  • Surgical Procedure: Involves downtime for healing and carries surgical risks.
  • Cost: Generally more expensive than fillers.
  • Limited Movement (Temporary): May experience temporary tightness that limits movement right after surgery.
