Lip Lift Treatment
Lip lift
A lip lift can create the appearance of fuller, more youthful lips with long-lasting results. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a small incision either in the lip area or under the nose so that excess skin can be reduced. This serves to lift and enhance the appearance of the lips and accentuate the cupid’s bow. The teeth can usually be seen better when you smile. It’s an alternative to lip fillers, which offer temporary volume enhancement.
- Surgery for reshaping and lifting the top lip
- Accentuate the cupid’s bow
- Create a more attractive smile, showing the teeth nicely
Cosmedics Skin Clinics offers lip lift as a day case procedure at our London clinics with our fully registered and experienced surgeons.
What can we achieve with a lip lift procedure?
- Shorten a long philtrum:
The philtrum is the vertical space between your nose and your upper lip. As we age, this area can lengthen, making lips appear thinner. - Reduce upper gum exposure:
When you smile, a small amount of gum tissue might show. A lip lift can address this by making the red part of your upper lip more prominent. - Enhance lip definition:
The procedure can create a sharper Cupid’s bow (the indentation in the centre of your upper lip) and define the lip borders. - Correct downturned corners:
Some people have naturally downturned lips, which a lip lift can address. - Permanent results:
Unlike fillers that require repeated injections, a lip lift offers a long-lasting solution.
This procedure works very well in conjunction with brow lift, Eye Lift surgery or the 8 point face lift for a more holistic and thorough result.
Lip lift techniques and results
There are various lip lift techniques, each with slightly different incision placements and outcomes. Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable one for your desired results.
Rest assured, all our surgeons work hard to achieve fabulous results without going too far, so the outcome always looks natural.
Advantages of 'Day Case' lip lift surgery
Cosmedics Skin Clinics is now offering lip lift procedures on a ‘day case’ basis, making it very convenient for busy clients and at competitive costs too, saving the hassle and expense of a hospital stay.
- Local anaesthetic – better tolerated and lower risks than general
- No overnight stay – less time out of your busy schedule
- Fast recovery – bruising lasts up to 10 days
- A simple walk in walk out procedure
- Takes around 60 minutes (up to 2 hours)
- Longer lasting than injections or laser – excess skin gone for good
Non-surgical treatment options
Our non-invasive cosmetic treatments can be used alongside lip lift surgery for a more comprehensive result. All our doctors are highly skilled in the latest injectable treatments. Options to consider:
- Dermal Fillers to replenish lost volume
- 8 point face lift to lift facial tissues throughout the upper, mid and lower facial areas
Our Putney and Harley Street centres also offer advanced treatments using laser skin tightening technology, including ClearLift laser skin tightening and rejuvenation.
You can expect great results from your surgery, but these can be used alongside to enhance the overall result. Your surgeon will be happy to advise.
