About Lip Lift
Under local anaesthesia, the surgeon removes a thin strip of skin under the nose (bullhorn lift) or at the border of the lip, then closes it with fine stitches so the scar lies in a natural crease. The operation is quick, often under an hour, and is sometimes combined with other facial procedures.
The upper lip appears fuller and more youthful, and teeth show a little more at rest. Results depend on the starting lip length, the amount of skin removed and healing, since scars vary and can be visible in some people. Swelling takes a few weeks to settle, and the effect is permanent, so conservative planning is wise.
Most people go home the same day and can fly after a few days. Stitches come out after about a week. Avoid wide smiling, kissing and heavy facial movement for several days, and protect the scar from sun. Bring front and profile photos, and arrange a scar review once you are home.
Usually a good fit if
- Long upper lip with little teeth or pink lip showing at rest.
- Thin upper lip when fillers do not give the shape you want.
- Good skin quality and realistic expectations about a small scar.
May need to wait if
- Active cold sores or skin infection near the mouth.
- Keloid or thick scarring tendency.
- Short upper lip already, or unrealistic expectations.
How to prepare
- Show the surgeon your face at rest and when smiling, and discuss the amount of tooth show you want.
- Tell the clinic about cold sores or a history of keloid or thick scars.
- Review blood thinners, aspirin and supplements with your doctor; change nothing without their instruction.
- Avoid smoking and nicotine, which affect the thin scar.
- Plan a week at home, since there is swelling and stitches under the nose.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Which lip lift technique do you recommend for me?
- Where will the scar be placed, and how well does it usually hide?
- What amount of shortening is planned, in millimetres?
- How many lip lifts do you perform each year?
- What are the risks of an overly short lip or visible scar?
- How are changes revised if I am unhappy?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Removing too much skin in one session.
- Not planning the scar placement carefully.
- No discussion of scar healing or revision.
- Promising that no scar will be seen.
Questions about Lip Lift abroad
Which country is cheapest for Lip Lift?
The lowest typical hospital prices are in India ($2,638), Thailand ($3,075), Turkey ($3,925), out of 9 countries we compare.
Where is the scar?
Usually under the nose, in the natural fold, or along the lip border. It typically fades well but can remain slightly visible.
Is a lip lift permanent?
The change is long-lasting, though the lip continues to age. Some relaxation after surgery is normal.
How is it different from fillers?
Fillers add volume temporarily. A lip lift permanently shortens the upper lip, which suits long lips.
