Lip Lift

A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, creating a fuller and more youthful appearance. By lifting the upper lip, this surgery enhances its natural shape and increases its visibility, improving the balance between the lips and other facial features.

The procedure involves removing a small strip of skin just beneath the nose, which raises the upper lip and shortens the philtrum (the area between the nose and lip). Unlike temporary fillers, a lip lift offers a permanent solution for those seeking a more defined and prominent upper lip without adding excessive volume. It’s a great option for individuals looking to enhance their lip shape for a more balanced, natural-looking result.

Consultation

In your first consultation Dr. Kerekes will listen to you, understand your goals, answer all your questions and make recommendations.

During your no-obligation consultation with Dr. David Kerekes, he will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic desires for lip enhancement. He will guide you through the lip lift procedure, explaining how it can achieve your desired outcome, and answer any questions you may have about the surgery or recovery process.

Recovery

Recovery from a lip lift is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing swelling and minor discomfort for about one to two weeks. Stitches are typically removed after one week, and patients can resume normal activities shortly thereafter. The results of the procedure will gradually settle, with full results becoming visible within a few months.
