Utah’s Leading Lip Lift Surgeons

Do you struggle with having thin, droopy, or undefined lips? A lip lift procedure can enhance the appearance of your lips by increasing the visible vermilion (pink part) of the upper lip or by lifting the corners of the mouth. As we age, our lips tend to thin and lose volume, and a lip lift can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure can also improve the balance and proportion of your facial features, creating a more harmonious overall look. Whether you're unhappy with your natural lip shape or have noticed changes due to aging, a lip lift can help you achieve the plump and defined lips you desire.

What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by creating a more defined and fuller upper lip.

The Lip Lift Procedure

Who Is An Ideal Candidate For a Lip Lift?

A good candidate for a lip lift surgery is someone who is unhappy with the appearance of their upper lip and desires a more youthful, fuller, and aesthetically pleasing look.

Lip Lift Procedure

The procedural steps for a lip lift typically involve the following:

  • The patient is administered anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
  • The surgeon makes small incisions at the base of the nose and carefully removes a small amount of skin.
  • The surgeon then lifts the upper lip and sutures it to the base of the nose, creating a more prominent and defined lip border.
  • Finally, the surgeon closes the incisions using fine sutures and applies a dressing to protect the surgical site and promote healing.

Recovery Process

After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and bruising, which should subside within a few days to a week.

The Consultation

These risks can vary based on each individual person, so it is important to be honest and upfront during your consultation.

Follow up after surgery is important to ensure that you are healing properly and that you are happy with your results. If you are not happy, we want to know! It can take a few months before you are fully healed and see the final result, and we will monitor you carefully during this period to ensure proper healing.
