Full and luscious lips give you a more youthful and attractive appearance. As we age, the upper lip thins and droops, increasing the distance between the nose and the upper lip causing the whole face to appear older. Some people are also born with long upper lips which detract from their overall facial appearance. A lip lift is a surgical procedure that can lift the upper lip, shortening it and improving upper lip fullness and teeth show.

A lip lift is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the upper lip, enhance lip fullness, and improve the way teeth show, providing a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. As we age, the upper lip naturally elongates and loses volume, which can make the face look older. Some individuals also have a genetically long upper lip, which affects facial proportions. A lip lift refines and enhances the natural structure of the lips for a balanced, refreshed look.

Dr. Kevin Caceres, a leading Facial Plastic Surgeon in St. Petersburg, specializes in performing lip lift surgery with precision and artistry, delivering natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s unique features.

What Are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?

A lip lift offers several aesthetic benefits, including:

• Shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip for a more youthful look
• Enhancing lip fullness without the need for fillers
• Increasing tooth show for a more attractive smile
• Improving lip shape and contour
• Correcting lip asymmetry
• Creating long-lasting results compared to temporary lip augmentation methods

For those seeking facial rejuvenation, a lip lift is a highly effective solution that enhances lip appearance without repeated maintenance.

Lip Lift Consultation: Who Is a Candidate?

During a personalized consultation, Dr. Caceres will review your health history, assess your features, and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if a lip lift is the right procedure for you.

You may be a good candidate for a lip lift if:

• You want to enhance lip shape without relying on fillers
• You are in good health and have realistic expectations
• You are looking for a permanent solution for a more youthful lip appearance
• You have experienced age-related lip thinning

What to Expect from the Lip Lift Procedure

A lip lift is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences.

How the Procedure Works:

• A small incision is made at the base of the nose, where it remains discreetly hidden.
• The deep tissues of the upper lip are lifted and resuspended, shortening the lip length and enhancing fullness.
• The incision is carefully closed with fine sutures to ensure minimal scarring.
• The natural nose shape remains unchanged, maintaining facial harmony.

A lip lift can also be combined with other procedures, such as a facelift or rhinoplasty, to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement.

Lip Lift Recovery & Expected Results

Recovery from a lip lift is quick and relatively easy, with minimal discomfort.

Post-Surgery Timeline:

• First Few Days: Mild swelling and bruising may occur but typically resolve within a week.
• Sutures Removal: Stitches are usually removed within 5-7 days.
• Visible Improvement: Initial results can be seen within a few weeks, with full healing over several months.

The results of a lip lift procedure are permanent, eliminating the need for repeated fillers and ensuring a naturally youthful lip contour.
