THE PROCEDURE
What is lip lift?
A lip lift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and nose to create a fuller, more defined upper lip. By increasing the visible pink portion of the lip and enhancing lip shape, the procedure creates a naturally youthful and balanced appearance.
Unlike dermal lip fillers, which provide temporary volume and require ongoing maintenance, a lip lift offers a permanent improvement in lip shape and upper lip show. The procedure is particularly suitable for individuals with a long upper lip, a thin upper lip, or those seeking a more youthful smile without repeated filler treatments.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every lip lift procedure is tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking, balanced results that complement your existing features. Combined with expert surgical care, comprehensive aftercare, and exceptional value, we provide a safe and rewarding experience in one of the world’s leading destinations for cosmetic surgery.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for lip lift?
A lip lift may be right for you if you:
Have a long upper lip or minimal upper tooth show when smiling
Would like a fuller, more defined upper lip without relying on dermal fillers
Are in good general health and a non-smoker, or able to stop smoking before surgery
Have realistic expectations about the results and recovery process
Candidacy is always confirmed following a comprehensive medical assessment of your health, facial anatomy, photographs, and aesthetic goals. If a lip lift is not the most suitable option, we’ll provide honest advice and may recommend an alternative treatment based on your individual needs.

RECOVERY
Lip lift recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Rest with your head elevated to help minimise swelling. Mild swelling, bruising, tightness, and discomfort around the upper lip are normal. You’ll be advised to keep the incision clean and follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully.
Days 4–7: Swelling and bruising begin to improve, although the upper lip may appear tighter or slightly overcorrected at first. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities and are typically able to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–6: Most swelling gradually subsides, revealing a more defined upper lip and improved tooth show. Normal daily activities can usually be resumed within 1–2 weeks, although strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.
Months 2–3: The incision continues to mature and fade, while the tissues fully settle into their final position. The result is a permanently enhanced upper lip with a naturally youthful appearance.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
A lip lift is a well-established procedure, but like any operation, it carries potential risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, asymmetry, delayed wound healing, visible scarring, and—more rarely—bleeding, infection, or the need for revision surgery.
We minimise these risks through a comprehensive pre-operative assessment, meticulous surgical planning, precise surgical technique, and structured aftercare with 24/7 access to our medical team throughout your stay. Your surgeon will explain your individual risk profile in detail, answer any questions you may have, and provide personalised guidance to support a smooth and safe recovery.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a lip lift?
A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip (the philtrum), creating a fuller, more defined upper lip and a more youthful smile.
How is a lip lift different from lip fillers?
A lip lift permanently enhances the shape and position of the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose. Lip fillers add temporary volume and require regular maintenance, whereas a lip lift provides long-lasting results without repeat treatments.
Am I a good candidate for a lip lift?
You may be a good candidate if you have a long upper lip, minimal upper tooth show when smiling, or would like a fuller upper lip without relying on dermal fillers. Your surgeon will assess your facial anatomy during your consultation.
Is a lip lift permanent?
Yes. A lip lift provides a permanent improvement in upper lip shape and position, although the natural ageing process will continue over time.
Will there be a visible scar?
The incision is placed discreetly within the natural crease beneath the nose (the "bullhorn" incision). When performed by an experienced surgeon and properly cared for, the scar usually fades well and becomes difficult to notice over time.
Is a lip lift painful?
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, swelling, and tightness are common afterwards and are usually well managed with prescribed medication.
How long does lip lift surgery take?
A lip lift typically takes between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the surgical technique and whether it is combined with other facial procedures.
When will I see the final results?
Most swelling settles within a few weeks, while the final results usually become fully visible after 2–3 months as the tissues soften and the scar matures.
Can a lip lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A lip lift is commonly combined with rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, chin implants, or facial fat grafting to achieve more balanced facial rejuvenation.
