Upper Lip Lift

Upper Lip Lift Surgery in Sydney

 

Technical Explanation of the Procedure

An upper lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. It enhances the appearance of the lips by increasing visible lip height and improving balance and proportion. Individuals who desire a more youthful, defined lip shape or improved symmetry often seek this procedure.

Due to the shape of the incision, the procedure typically involves removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose, a procedure known as a subnasal bullhorn lip lift. The skin is then carefully sutured, lifting the upper lip and rolling it outward to create a fuller appearance. This procedure also enhances the cupid’s bow and increases the visibility of the teeth when smiling.

Key benefits of an upper lip lift include:

  • Creating a more youthful appearance.
  • Enhancing lip volume without the need for fillers.
  • Improving facial balance and proportions.
