What is a lip lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the bottom of your nose and the top of your lip. This makes your upper lip look fuller and more defined without adding anything extra to it.

What does a lip lift do?

A lip lift makes your upper lip more noticeable by lifting it slightly. This can make your smile look better and your face look more balanced.

Are there different types of lip lift techniques?

Yes, there are a few different ways to do a lip lift. The main types are the “bullhorn” or “subnasal” lip lift, which is done right under the nose, and the “corner” lip lift, which focuses on the edges of your lips. The right method depends on what you want to achieve and what Dr. Miller thinks is best for you.

What happens during a lip lift?

During a lip lift, Dr. Miller makes a small cut under your nose or at the corners of your mouth, depending on the technique. Then, he removes a tiny piece of skin and lifts the lip to its new position. The whole procedure is usually done without general anesthesia, using localized medication to numb the area so you don’t feel pain.

Why should I choose a lip lift over lip fillers?

Choosing a lip lift over lip fillers depends on what you’re looking for. A lip lift offers a more permanent solution for a fuller-looking upper lip without the need for repeated filler injections. It can also improve the balance and proportion of your facial features in a way fillers might not.

How long do lip lift results last?

Lip lift results are generally long-lasting, though your face will continue to change and your lips will lose volume. You can achieve plumper lips with fillers if your pout begins to look thinner.

Is a lip lift permanent?

Yes, the changes made during a lip lift are intended to be permanent. You won’t need to have the procedure done again, unlike with temporary solutions like fillers.

Will I have a scar after a lip lift?

After a lip lift, you will have a small scar, usually hidden under your nose or along the natural lines of your lips. Dr. Miller is skilled at making sure the scar is as unnoticeable as possible.

How much does a lip lift cost in New York City?

The total cost of your procedure depends on the surgeon’s experience, anesthesia used, surgical technique, and other factors. Dr. Miller can offer a more accurate estimate of your surgery’s cost at your consultation.

What is the recovery time for a lip lift?

Recovery time from a lip lift varies, but most people need about 1-2 weeks before they feel comfortable going back to their normal activities. You might have some swelling and bruising at first, but following Dr. Miller’s care instructions will help you heal smoothly and quickly.
