Enhance Your Smile with a Lip Lift
Why do we love it?
A lip lift is an ideal cosmetic procedure for individuals seeking to enhance the shape and proportion of their lips while achieving a more youthful and attractive appearance. This procedure involves making a small incision at the base of the nose, allowing Dr. Hill to lift and reshape the skin to expose more of the upper lip. By shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip, a lip lift creates the illusion of fuller lips and restores balance to the facial features.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for those who are bothered by a thin upper lip, an elongated philtrum, or signs of aging around the mouth. Unlike temporary lip fillers, which may require regular touch-ups, a lip lift offers a permanent enhancement that integrates seamlessly with your natural lip contour. The results are immediate, with a noticeable improvement in the shape and fullness of the lips.
Recovery from a lip lift is generally quick, with most patients experiencing some swelling and bruising for a few days. The incision is strategically placed at the base of the nose, ensuring that any resulting scar is well-concealed. With proper care and follow-up, the scar will fade over time, leaving you with beautifully enhanced lips.
A lip lift not only improves the appearance of the lips but also enhances the overall balance and harmony of the facial features. By creating a more youthful and attractive smile, this procedure can boost your confidence and enhance your natural beauty. Whether performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial treatments, a lip lift offers a significant improvement in lip aesthetics and overall facial harmony.

Lip Lift: The main goal of a lip lift is to elevate the position of the upper lip, create more visible lip tissue, and reduce the elongated or thin appearance of the upper lip that can occur with aging.
Lip Flip: The primary goal of a lip flip is to create the illusion of fuller and more everted (turned-out) lips by relaxing the muscles that typically pull the upper lip downward. This allows the upper lip to gently roll outward, revealing more of the pink lip tissue.
A lip flip is done by injecting a neuromodulator whereas a lip lift is a surgical procedure. The results of a lip flip often last between 4-8 weeks and the results of a lip flip are permanent. During your consultation, Dr. Hill will discuss all options that could address your concerns, and together you will decide which route is the most efficient way to achieve your desired results.
It's a good idea to stick to soft and easily chewable foods for the first few days following the procedure. Examples include mashed potatoes, yogurt, soup, scrambled eggs, pudding, and smoothies. Extremely hot or spicy foods can potentially irritate the surgical area and cause discomfort. Opt for lukewarm or cool foods and beverages instead. High-sodium foods can contribute to swelling. Reducing your salt intake may help minimize post-operative swelling.
Proper hydration is essential for the healing process. Drink plenty of water to help your body recover. When you begin to introduce solid foods back into your diet, chew slowly and gently to avoid putting excessive stress on the surgical area.
Using straws or making exaggerated sucking motions can potentially disrupt the healing incisions. Try to sip liquids directly from a cup instead for the first 1-2 weeks following the surgery to avoid prolonging healing.
