Lip lift procedures at Texas Facial Plastic Surgery help patients achieve a naturally youthful, more defined upper lip through expert, precision-guided surgical techniques.

Elevate Your Look with a Custom Lip Lift in Houston

If you struggle with thin lips, lips that are beginning to show signs of aging, or want to give your lips a boost, a lip lift in Houston may be a good option for you. This surgical procedure allows you to elevate your upper lip, which gives you a fuller pout and helps you look more youthful.

As we age, our lips start to lengthen and curl downwards. This can make the lips look thinner and even begin to cover the teeth resulting in a more aged look. To correct this, our board-certified facial plastic surgeons perform lip lifts in Houston at Texas Facial Plastic Surgery. This surgical procedure lifts the lips to stop them from curling in and ultimately enhances and rejuvenates the face.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical procedure in which a surgeon elevates the lips and surgically mounts them in place. This is done by making an incision beneath the nose and removing a small area of skin. The lips are then pulled up, and the area is closed with sutures. By placing the incision beneath the nose, any scarring is well concealed. Depending on the needs of the patient, the incisions can also be placed directly above the lips. No matter where the incision is placed, patients are left with an elevated pout that is sure to be long-lasting.

Benefits of Lip Lift

The most significant benefits of a lip lift come from the anti-aging effect. As the lips begin to lengthen and stretch with age, they can begin to look thinner. The increased look of the top lift can help patients appear younger and bring a lifted look to the entire face after the lip lift.

Lip Lift VS Lip Filler

Lip lifts and lip fillers may seem similar but do offer some key differences. Lip fillers are injectable treatments that add volume to the lips. This can be done to make up for lost volume over time or simply fill in the lips. A lip lift is a surgical procedure that raises the position of the lips, which can, in turn, make them appear fuller and lifted. Lip fillers are a temporary treatment that must be maintained every six to nine months, whereas a lip lift is a permanent surgical procedure.

Recovery from a Lip Lift

After your procedure, there may be some soreness, swelling, and bruising. The incision area should be kept clean, and you should rest for the first few days post-surgery. After this time, you can resume most normal activities but should wait a bit longer before exercising or engaging in more strenuous activities. Your surgeon will provide you with full post-operative instructions before surgery to ensure you can adequately plan for your recovery.
