Lip Lift Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

As we age, we naturally lose the tissue that keeps us looking youthful and perky, as well as skin elasticity throughout the face. Together, these manifestations cause the facial tissue and skin to droop or sag, making you look older than you feel or would like to appear. A lip lift in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles can help reverse the clock.

What is a lip lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip. Shortening the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose increases the volume of the upper lip and creates a more youthful, attractive, and feminine smile. The result is a subtle yet effective enhancement that reveals a small amount of tooth show, contributing to an overall more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for lip lift surgery lack tooth visibility, have an elongated distance from the nose to the upper lip, and have experienced a loss of fullness in their smile. They seek a cosmetic solution that comes with more permanent results than can be provided with fillers. As with any aesthetic treatment, patients should be mentally and physically healthy and have realistic, positive expectations for their results.

A private consultation with Dr. Lee is the best way to determine your candidacy. The doctor will perform a physical evaluation and thoroughly review your medical history to ensure that a lip lift is the best approach for meeting your needs.

About the Procedure

Our Los Angeles lip lift procedure can be done in the office, with the patient under local anesthesia. For a lip lift, Dr. Lee makes an incision along the curves at the base of the nose. This is followed by carefully removing a small area of skin. In doing so, this shortens the length of the upper lip by lifting the position of the lip upward, while increasing the extent of pink that is visible in the upper lip. The lip is then lifted to its new position and closed with great care and caution to avoid scarring.

Real Patient Testimonial

"I found Dr. Lee through the internet when I was searching up doctors that were experienced in the lip lift procedure. I was really glad that it was a female surgeon as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go through with a male surgeon as I feel female doctors are more light handed when it comes to surgery type procedure and knows the small details in creating a feminine look. I had never gotten anything done or gone for surgery in my life, so I was very nervous, however, Dr. Lee and her staff walked me through the process and made it very easy and painless. The consultation took place over phone because I was in school everyday and could not come to the office, so I’m very thankful for that.

I definitely recommend Dr. Lee and her staff. The nurses and front desks ladies were kind and helpful and worked with my schedule at school and always reply promptly. Dr. Lee herself is a great surgeon with a gentle hand if you are looking to get your lip lift done!"

Is there a Recovery Period After a Lip Lift?

After the lip lift procedure is completed, it is normal to experience slight discomfort due to swelling and tightness in the mouth. However, these symptoms will dissipate anywhere from a few days to a few weeks following the treatment.

In regards to the recovery process, it is important to keep these tips in mind:

Most patients will be prescribed antiviral medicine and antibiotics to prevent the development of viral and bacterial infections

Swelling and inflammation are natural during the healing process and may lead to a temporary enlargement of other areas such as the nose
There may be temporary redness or bruising in the treated area
Using ice packs in the upper lip region can help control swelling

Final results can take as long as six weeks to settle in.
