What is a Lip Lift?

A Lip Lift is a surgical procedure that aims to enhance the appearance of the lips by reducing the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. It is a popular solution for individuals who desire fuller lips with improved definitions. During the procedure, extra skin is removed and the remaining tissue is shifted to lift and reshape the upper region of the mouth.

With a Lip Lift at Himmarshee Plastic Surgery, you can achieve fuller and more balanced lips that you’ve always desired without the need for filler, enhancing your overall facial harmony and boosting your confidence in your smile.

First Steps

What’s the first step?

When you come for your Lip Lift consultation, you will meet with either Dr. Savannah Moon or Dr. Stephanie Scurci and discuss your aesthetic goals. She will then evaluate the shape, size, and proportions of your lips to assess if this procedure is the best solution for you. This evaluation will also include a discussion about your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure and prevent any unnecessary risks.

Once you and your surgeon have discussed and agreed upon every aspect of your surgery, she will create your custom procedure plan. Before you leave, our Patient Coordinator will help you schedule the day and time of your lip lift procedure and provide you with some pre-operative instructions to follow.

What to expect on the day of Lip Lift surgery

On the day of your Lip Lift in Fort Lauderdale at the Himmarshee Plastic Surgery, you will first meet with your surgeon and discuss your procedure one more time. You will then be administered either local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

 Your surgeon may make some temporary marks on your lips for targeted and previously discussed positions of the incisions. Your surgeon will skillfully perform the Lip Lift by carefully concealing incisions beneath the base of the nose and possibly along the outer edges of the natural lip line, depending on the technique she chooses. She will remove any excess skin and reposition the remaining tissue to elevate and evert your upper lip. Once finished, your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and apply some bandages for additional protection.

The surgery typically takes about one to two hours, and after the procedure, you will receive detailed post-operative care instructions to promote proper healing.

Lip Lift recovery

After your Lip Lift surgery, our staff will monitor you in our recovery room until you awaken from sedation. It is recommended to have a friend or caretaker drive you home in case any effects of sedation last.

As you recover, it is important to give your body time to heal. There will be some swelling and bruising around your lips but should subside over the next few days. We encourage our patients to avoid any strenuous activities for the first few weeks and follow the specific guidelines for eating, drinking, talking, and using the lips and overall mouth area.
