A lip lift is a simple yet highly satisfying procedure, and patients at the clinic are often very pleased with the results. The main goal is to expose more of the pink part of the upper lip, enhancing its appearance. This can benefit younger patients who naturally have a smaller upper lip, as well as older patients whose lips have turned inward with age.
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, with the option of a mild sedative for added comfort. The incision is carefully hidden in the crease beneath the nostrils, making it very discreet. Sutures are removed after about five days, and the procedure itself is painless both during and after. The scar heals quickly and is barely visible after a short period of time.
