What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the upper lip by reducing the length of the skin, creating a more balanced, youthful, and elegant appearance. By shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip, this procedure enhances lip definition and reveals more of the natural pink tissue, resulting in a subtly fuller, beautifully proportioned pout without the need for fillers.

What Are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a sophisticated enhancement that creates a beautifully balanced, youthful, and refined appearance. Shortening the space between the nose and upper lip enhances lip definition, adds natural-looking volume by rolling the lip upwards, and reveals more of the upper lip’s soft pink tissue—resulting in a subtly fuller, more elegant pout. Unlike temporary fillers, a lip lift provides long-lasting results while improving overall facial harmony and highlighting the cupid’s bow. Ideal for those seeking a more lifted, structured, and naturally enhanced look, this meticulously tailored procedure refines your facial features with effortless sophistication.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Lip Lift?

The best candidates for a lip lift are those looking to enhance the shape and proportion of their lips with a refined, long-lasting result. Ideal candidates typically have an elongated philtrum (the space between the nose and upper lip) and desire a more lifted, youthful appearance without relying on fillers. This procedure is perfect for individuals seeking a naturally fuller, more defined upper lip with improved symmetry and a beautifully enhanced cupid’s bow.

What’s the first step?

The first step toward your lip lift transformation is scheduling a personalized consultation with Dr. Rivera at Rivera Plastic Surgery. Dr. Rivera will assess your facial structure to determine if a lip lift is right for you. From there, a tailored treatment plan will be created just for you, setting the foundation for a smooth, refined enhancement.

What to Expect on the Day of Lip Lift Surgery

During your lip lift surgery, Dr. Rivera will begin by making small, precise incisions along the natural contours of your upper lip. Once the incisions are made, Dr. Rivera gently lifts and reshapes the upper lip, removing a small section of skin to shorten the distance between the nose and lip. This technique enhances lip definition, revealing more of the natural pink tissue, and creates a more youthful, fuller appearance.

Lip Lift Recovery

Right after the procedure, you can expect some mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the upper lip, but these should go away within a few days.

You may need to avoid strenuous activity in the first week, but most patients can return to their regular routine within 5-7 days.
