The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to regain the fullness and symmetry of your lips.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgery that involves elevating the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose, shortening the philtrum (the area between the nose and lip), and increasing lip visibility. This enhances the lip’s shape, reveals more of the vermilion (pink lip tissue), and creates a subtle upward curve. Performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation, the procedure uses a hidden incision at the base of the nose for minimal scarring. The result is a rejuvenated, expressive smile.

A long space between the nose and lip creates an aged or flat appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

A lip lift procedure involves carefully removing a specific, measured amount of skin from this philtrum region using a discreet incision, typically hidden along the natural curves beneath the nostrils (often described as a ‘bullhorn’ or ‘gullwing’ shape). By shortening this area, the upper lip is gently lifted and slightly everted. This action increases the visible height of the pink lip tissue, often improves the natural display of upper teeth when the mouth is relaxed, and restores more balanced, youthful proportions to the central face.

Lip lift pricing varies based on the complexity of the procedure and your specific goals. For an accurate estimate, contact AR Aesthetics to schedule a personalized consultation and receive detailed pricing information.

Mild swelling or bruising typically fades within 7–14 days, with light activities resuming after a week. Full healing, including scar maturation, takes several weeks.

Risks include minor swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness. Rare complications, like visible scarring or asymmetry, are minimized by our experienced surgeons.

Lip lift results are permanent, providing lasting improvement in lip shape and proportions, though natural aging may gradually affect appearance.
