What is a Lip Lift?

With the aging process, the ligaments that connect the base of the nose to the upper lip can weaken, causing the upper lip to droop lower and lose volume. This action happens at a rate of 1-3 mm every decade after one’s 20s. It can make the mouth look smaller and the smile thinner. The Cupid’s bow may also lose definition.

Our lip lift in Denver removes a portion of the skin above the upper lip so that the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip is shortened. This helps pull the upper lid slightly upwards to reveal more of its inner pinkness. It thus adds volume and fullness to the upper lip without the use of synthetic fillers. It is a minimally invasive surgery that can have profound effects on the patient’s overall youthfulness and vitality.

What are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?

  • Creates a fuller upper lip without fillers
  • Enhances the youthfulness of the smile
  • Gives the lips a more alluring and sensuous quality
  • Gently curls the upper lip outwards
  • Improves definition in the Cupid’s bow
  • Enables increased tooth show
  • Boosts self-confidence
  • Long-lasting results

Am I a Good Candidate for Lip Lift Surgery?

Many patients are interested in enhancing the appearance of their lips without using fillers or injectables. Our surgical lip lift in Denver is the ideal solution for creating a slightly fuller lip projection that reveals the top teeth and more of the pink inner lining. Ideal candidates are mentally and physically healthy non-smokers who have realistic expectations for their results. Dr. Locketz will perform a detailed consultation process to determine if a lip lift is the best option for achieving your aesthetic goals.

What Can I Expect After My Lip Lift?

Patients may experience mild discomfort and tenderness for the first 72 hours after surgery. These symptoms can be well managed with oral pain medications made available by Dr. Locketz. Most patients can resume work within 3-5 days. Sutures will be removed the first week post-op. Mild swelling and a feeling of tightness may persist for up to several weeks. Dr. Locketz will follow up with you to ensure your healing process is progressing smoothly and seamlessly.

Can a lip lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes! Lip lift surgery is often paired with blepharoplasty, brow lift, or chin augmentation, according to the patient’s wishes and goals.

How long will my results last?

Results after a lip lift are long-lasting and sustainable because they rely on removal of excess skin rather than the injection of synthetic compounds or muscle relaxers.
