Question 1

What does a lip lift consist of?

Accepted Answer

A lip lift is a minor procedure that reduces the excess skin of the upper lip, lifting it and exposing a greater portion of the red lip. The incision is made just below the nose, so the scar remains hidden. The lip will remain swollen for about a week, during which special care of the incision will be required. Hydration and applying sun protection to the scar will be essential during the first few weeks. The result is a more harmonious and rejuvenated upper lip.

Question 2

Who is a candidate for a lip lift?

Accepted Answer

Any patient with an elongated and aged upper lip, or whose vermilion (red lip) has significantly diminished, may be a candidate. With a lip lift, you can restore harmony to your upper lip, enhancing the red lip and achieving greater definition of the Cupid’s bow.

Question 3

Are there any contraindications for this procedure?

Accepted Answer

Smoking can be a relative contraindication, as it interferes with proper wound healing. The presence of scars, trauma to the upper lip, or previous surgeries in the area must be assessed on an individual basis.

Can facial lipofilling be performed together with other procedures?

Accepted Answer

The lip lift can be combined with other facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facial lipofilling (fat grafting), facelift, or rhinoplasty.
It can also be associated with non-surgical facial treatments, including lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin (Botox), or chemical peels.
