Refined, Natural Lip Enhancement

At Clark Institute for Aesthetics, our surgeons perform the lip lift to elevate and reshape the upper lip, creating a youthful, harmonious balance between the lips and surrounding facial features. This precise procedure shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, increasing visible pink lip height and enhancing your natural curvature without the need for fillers or excessive volume. Performed in our accredited Orlando surgical center, the lip lift delivers refined, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a minor surgical procedure that improves lip proportion and youthful definition by lifting the upper lip to reveal more of the natural lip surface.

Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, a lip lift focuses on elevation and shape, providing a permanent enhancement that looks soft and natural.

Ideal Candidates for a Lip Lift

A lip lift may be right for you if you:

Have a long or flattened space between the nose and upper lip
Desire greater definition or pink lip visibility
Prefer a permanent enhancement over temporary fillers
Want to refine lip proportion for a softer, youthful expression
Are in good general health and a non-smoker

During consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your facial balance and discuss the most appropriate technique, which may include a subnasal (bullhorn) or corner lip lift.

How the Procedure Works

Planning and Anesthesia

Your surgeon will mark precise incision points at the base of the nose to achieve natural balance and proportion. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation.

Surgical Technique

A small strip of skin is removed just beneath the nose, allowing the upper lip to be gently lifted and reshaped. Fine sutures are used to close the incision, which is well-hidden within the natural contours of the nose.

Duration

The lip lift typically takes 45 to 60 minutes and can be performed as an in office procedure, or in the operating room combined with other procedures in our Orlando office.

Recovery and Results

Healing from a lip lift is typically quick and comfortable.

Mild swelling and tightness for several days
Sutures removed within one week
Makeup can usually be worn after one to two weeks
Most patients resume normal activities within a few days
Results continue to refine as swelling subsides

Once healed, the lips appear naturally fuller, more defined, and proportionate to surrounding features.

Complementary Enhancements

Many patients combine their lip lift with other facial or non-surgical treatments for balanced rejuvenation.

Common pairings include:

Facial fat transfer for volume and contour
Laser skin treatments for texture and tone
Facelift or eyelid surgery for comprehensive harmony
