What do Lip Lifts Address?
A Lip Lift is typically performed under local anaesthesia and involves making small incisions either directly beneath the nose or along the vermillion border of the upper lip to remove excess skin and lift the lip to a more youthful position. Lip lifts can help address concerns such as thin or elongated upper lips, a flat lip appearance, or a lack of lip definition, resulting in fuller, more balanced lips.

FAQs

During the procedure, patients typically receive local anaesthesia to ensure comfort and minimise discomfort. While some temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery, pain is generally minimal and can be managed effectively with pain medications prescribed by your surgeon. Most patients find that any discomfort resolves within a few days to a week after the procedure.
