A lip lift is an advanced cosmetic technique aimed at enhancing the shape and definition of your lips, giving them a more youthful and refined appearance.

What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical treatment that shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance. This procedure enhances the lip's shape and improves the overall harmony of the face. Additionally, the results are permanent, and there is no need for ongoing maintenance.

What Are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?

A lip lift offers numerous advantages, making it a highly sought-after option for those seeking to enhance their facial aesthetics. Lifting the upper lip creates a more youthful appearance, improves the balance of facial features, and enhances the natural curvature of the lips.

Enhanced lip definition and shape
Increased lip volume without the need for fillers
Improved balance and proportion of facial features
A more youthful and refreshed appearance

How a Lip Lift Produces the Desired Results

A lip lift addresses the elongation of the upper lip, a common sign of aging. By shortening the space between the nose and the upper lip, the procedure creates a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. There are several techniques for performing a lip lift, including:

Subnasal Lip Lift

This technique, also known as the "bullhorn lip lift," involves removing a small strip of skin from beneath the nose. Dr. Caniglia carefully hides the incision in the natural creases of the lip, resulting in a subtle yet effective lift.

Corner Lip Lift

This technique targets the corners of the mouth, lifting them slightly to create a more pleasant and youthful expression.

The Lip Lift Surgery

Preparation: On the day of your procedure, the surgical area will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure a sterile environment. A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the area, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Incision: A small strip of skin will be removed from just under the nose.
Tissue Removal: Excess skin is carefully removed to create the desired lift and contour of the upper lip. This step is important for achieving a natural, balanced look that enhances your facial harmony.
Closure: Dr. Caniglia meticulously closes the incisions with fine sutures to minimize scarring. The sutures are placed in such a way that they follow the natural creases and contours of the nose and mouth, ensuring that any scarring is as discreet as possible.

After the Procedure

Recovery from a lip lift involves some downtime, but most patients find the process manageable. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few days but typically subside within a week.

Patients should avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Caniglia. The swelling will diminish, revealing a more youthful and enhanced lip appearance.
