A lip lift, also known as central lip surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that shortens the upper lip and makes it look fuller and more defined. By reducing the distance between the nose and the upper lip, the lip appears naturally lifted and more youthful. This procedure is ideal for people who feel their upper lip is too long, thin, or lacking shape
During a lip lift, the surgeon removes a small strip of skin from under the nose to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. The upper lip is then gently lifted and reshaped to achieve a more youthful and attractive look. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal after surgery and gradually improve over a few weeks.
