At Physician’s Center for Beauty in Louisville, KY, we offer both surgical and non-surgical Lip Lift options to enhance your smile and rejuvenate the area around your mouth. A Lip Lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate the position of the lip to increase the visibility of the teeth when smiling and to improve the overall aesthetic of the lips and lower face. Whether you’re looking for a permanent solution or a less invasive approach, our team is here to help determine the best option for you.
What Is a Lip Lift?
A Lip Lift not only shortens the space and reduces the area between the nose and the top of the lip (known as referred to as the philtrum) but also increases the amount of pink lip that is visible, making the lips look fuller and more youthful. This procedure can be particularly beneficial for those who feel their lips have become thinner, thinned or lengthened with age or for anyone seeking a more defined lip shape.
Surgical Lip Lift
A surgical Lip Lift is a permanent procedure that involves removing a small strip of skin just under the nose. This lifts the top lip, exposing more of the pink area, enhancing the cupid’’s bow, and giving a more youthful and appealing shape to the mouth. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about one to two hours, with stitches typically removed after a week.
The benefits of surgical Lip Lift include:
- Permanent enhancement of lip shape and position
- Increased show of teeth when smiling
- Reduction in the length of the philtrum
- Potential reduction in the appearance of fine lines around the mouth
Non-Surgical Lip Lift
For those who prefer to avoid surgery or permanent changes, non-surgical Lip Lifts using dermal fillers offer a viable alternative. Fillers that contain hyaluronic acid can be injected into the edges of the lip vermilion or around the mouth to subtly lift the lips and enhance their natural shape. This method is less invasive and can be customized to meet individual aesthetic goals.
Benefits of non-surgical Lip Lift include:
- No surgery required; minimal downtime
- Results can last from 6 to 18 months depending on the type of filler used
- Less risk than surgical options, with reversible results if desired
This non-surgical approach does generally achieve achieves less dramatic results compared to the surgical option.
