Upper Lip Lift
A refined procedure that shortens the upper lip distance and enhances tooth show.
Book a ConsultationOverview
A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, improves upper lip visibility, and enhances tooth show. The result is a more youthful, balanced smile without relying solely on filler.
Who It Is For
Patients with a long upper lip philtrum (the space between the nose and lip) or those who feel their upper lip has thinned or dropped with age.
Dr. Deot’s Approach
Dr. Deot utilizes a precise 'bullhorn' incision hidden at the base of the nose. His technique focuses on lifting the lip vertically to provide a natural, permanent enhancement.
The Experience
We will measure your lip proportions and discuss the ideal amount of lift to achieve a balanced, elegant smile.
This is a popular in-office procedure performed comfortably under local anesthesia in about 60-90 minutes.
Recovery
Initial swelling lasts about a week. Most patients feel comfortable in social settings after 10-14 days as the incision heals.
