To achieve a more ideal smile and fuller lips, many people turn to lip fillers. While this treatment is very effective and can provide a significant result, it’s temporary, and it has limitations. Our lip lift in Phoenix & Scottsdale provides a way to change the shape, position and fullness of the lips more dramatically, and for many years to come.
Some patients have a naturally longer upper lip area. For others, age can cause the upper lift to stretch, which causes the red part of the lip to curve or roll inward. The lip can look thinner and partially cover the upper teeth, which adds to the aging effect. A lip lift resolves these issues, leaving the upper lip in proportion, and attractively shaping and positioning the upper lip.
A lip lift is a short surgical procedure that lifts the upper lip slightly so that it is closer to the nose. The lip is enhanced into more of a cupid’s bow shape, and a more balanced and symmetrical appearance is achieved. This procedure includes incisions made into the lip area in order to shorten the skin above the upper lip and provide an attractive enhancement.
Ideal candidates for a lip lift in Phoenix & Scottsdale are those who would like to beautify and enhance their smile, and meet the following requirements:
The first step of your procedure is a thorough consultation with Dr. Admire. He will examine your lips and skin and talk with you about your lip lift.
When you’re ready to move forward, he will inject local anesthesia into the area. Dr. Admire will draw marks where the incision will be made, just under your nose. This incision point reduces any visible scarring. Dr. Admire will then gently remove a small section of skin, and lift the lip upward, carefully closing the incisions with sutures.
This procedure releases the upper lip, making it look fuller and enhanced. The effect is extremely long-lasting and considered permanent.
After your procedure, expect your upper lip to be sore and swollen for the first few days. This is a usual part of healing after a lip lift in Scottsdale with us at AdmireMD® Plastic Surgery + Skin Clinic. Ensure your incision is kept clean and covered with antibacterial ointment for the first week.
Rest and recover for a few days, and avoid exercise or any type of heavy physical activity for about two weeks. Your scar will continue to heal over time.
Within a couple of months, you will see your beautiful outcome - full, symmetrical, shapely and enhanced lips.
