Lip Lift Before and After: Scars, Risks and Expectations

Lip lift before-and-after images illustrate individual outcomes and cannot predict scar quality, lip shape, dental show, symmetry or satisfaction for another person.

Assessment and alternatives

The surgeon should assess the distance between the nose and upper lip, nasal and lip anatomy, dental show, facial proportions, skin, scars, health, medicines, smoking, previous treatments and expectations. Alternatives may include no treatment, temporary filler or another targeted procedure.

Procedure and limitations

A lip lift removes selected skin, commonly beneath the nose, to change upper-lip position. Incision pattern and tissue movement depend on anatomy. The operation does not guarantee an invisible scar, permanent youthfulness or improved self-esteem.

Risks and cost

Risks include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, visible or raised scars, asymmetry, altered sensation, nostril or lip-shape change, stiffness, dissatisfaction and revision. Request an itemised quotation; do not rely on supposed insurance coverage, anonymous testimonials or claims that surgery is more cost-effective over time.
