Lip Lift Surgery
A quick and minimally invasive procedure called a lip lift involves lifting the skin on the upper lip to give it a fuller and younger appearance.
Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
Lip lift surgery is a successful procedure to restore a more youthful and full appearance to those with thin or sagging lips. It is best to speak with a plastic surgeon for an assessment catered to your particular needs and medical background in order to determine whether you are a good candidate.
How is the procedure performed?
Local anesthesia is frequently needed during the quick and minimally invasive lip lift surgery procedure. In order to create a more youthful and defined lip line, the surgeon makes an incision close to the base of the nose and then lifts the skin. For added enhancement, in some circumstances, extra skin or fat may also be removed during the procedure.
How long does the procedure usually last?
The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
How long will I need to remain in the hospital after the procedure?
Lip Lift Surgery is a procedure that can be performed as an outpatient, so you won’t need to stay in the hospital after it’s finished.
What is the healing process after surgery?
A lip lift surgery can help to create a more youthful and defined lip line in a minimally invasive manner. After the procedure, you might experience some swelling and bruising, but these side effects should go away quickly. Additionally, you might experience some discomfort, but painkillers can help with that. Following your surgeon’s recommendations for proper post-procedure care is crucial, as is refraining from strenuous activity while you’re recovering.
Will the procedure leave scars?
Although Lip Lift Surgery may leave some scarring along the base of your nose, these scars should be well-hidden and will eventually fade with time. With proper care, they should not be visible in most cases.
How long before I can return to my normal daily activities?
After Lip Lift Surgery, most people are able to return to their normal daily activities within a week or two. It is important to avoid strenuous activity during the recovery period and to follow your surgeon’s instructions for proper care of the treated area. Doing so can help ensure the best possible results from your procedure.
