What is the difference between an upper Lip Lift and a lower Lip Lift?
An upper Lip Lift and a lower Lip Lift are two distinct procedures that target different areas of the lips. An upper Lip Lift focuses on lifting and enhancing the appearance of the upper lip, improving the ratio between the upper lip and the teeth, while a lower Lip Lift addresses the lower lip by shortening the distance between the lip and the chin, creating a more balanced and youthful aesthetic. The specific technique and approach used will depend on your individual anatomy and desired outcome, and a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon will help determine which procedure is most suitable for achieving your goals.

After a Lip Lift procedure, it may take several weeks to a few months for the initial swelling to subside and for the final results to become fully visible. However, there should be an immediate improvement in the appearance of the lips, and over time, as the healing process progresses, the final outcome will be more apparent. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
