Lip Lift

An operation that anatomically shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the vermilion of the upper lip, and brings out the pink tissue of the upper lip.

Surgical approach and technique

Through an incision concealed in the natural crease at the base of the nose, the planned amount of excess skin is removed. The lip tissue is shaped along the vertical axis.

Who is it for?

May be planned after examination in people whose nose-to-lip distance is long, whether structurally or with ageing.

Recovery

Sutures are removed on the fifth to seventh day. The scar sits in the shadow at the base of the nose and becomes less distinct over time.

Back to desk work: approx. 5 days. Social recovery: approx. 12 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
