Lip enhancement has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic options within the last few years. While fillers are often the go-to for many patients, constant maintenance appointments and recovery from swelling can fill up your schedule. With our New Jersey Lip Lift, you can enjoy an elevated, refined lip look that is permanent with a single, minimal recovery and subtly natural results.
Our ultimate goal at New Jersey Plastic Surgery is to provide our patients with the most comprehensive variety of aesthetic treatment options that are proven effective, safe, and transformative. Board-certified New Jersey plastic surgeons, Dr. Barry DiBernardo and Dr. Matthew Trovato, are as passionate about great patient care as they are about outstanding cosmetic results tailored to each patient.
For a more elevated and defined lip contour, a surgical lip lift can use one of a few techniques in order to adjust the vermilion borderāthe line between the skin and lipsāand reveal more lip surface area for a fuller, enhanced lip look. Your surgeon can achieve this by removing a small strip of skin either close to the lips or right under the nose and placing strategic tension with sutures for minimal scarring and a shifted lip line. Another method can help improve the appearance of turned-down lip corners to address a permanent frown for a brighter appearance on your face while the muscles are at rest.
Unlike temporary lip injections, a surgical lip lift offers a permanent solution with no need for frequent maintenance appointments. Many patients opt for a lip lift to achieve a more youthful and balanced facial appearance, as it can work to improve the proportions between the lips and other facial features without any sense of being overfilled or unnatural looking.
Permanent enhancement for your lips is possible with a subtle yet impactful change. A lip lift requires minimal downtime, providing a typically mild and easy recovery period for most patients. Best of all, this procedure offers impressive results without the need for ongoing maintenance. The benefits of a surgical lip lift include:
This straightforward and relatively minor surgery offers a solution for many individuals looking to enhance thin or aging lips. Many interested patients are suitable candidates for lip lift. However, this surgery is more effective for some facial proportions than others, so not everyone will be an ideal candidate. It's crucial to consult with one of our qualified plastic surgeons to determine if this procedure is right for you.
During your consultation for a lip lift New Jersey plastic surgeons at New Jersey Plastic Surgery, will examine your facial features, discuss your health history, and learn about your unique aesthetic goals. If we determine this procedure is ideal, we will also provide a customized treatment plan and full preparation instructions.
Typically performed in-office without general anesthesia or sedation, this procedure takes less than an hour and uses local anesthesia. Your surgeon will make very small and precise incisions in the skin near the lips or nose to ensure the most optimal results with the least amount of scarring possible.
Patients may experience mild discomfort or itchiness during lip lift recovery but this is usually mild and most patients are able to return to normal activities within about one week. Optimal results are usually visible and fully healed after about six to eight weeks.
