Central Lip Lift

A central lip lift is a precise cosmetic surgery that shortens the space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum) to:
✔ Create a more youthful, balanced facial profile
✔ Enhance natural lip fullness
✔ Improve lip symmetry and definition
✔ Increase upper teeth visibility when smiling

Ideal Candidates

This procedure is perfect for those with:

  • A long philtrum (distance between nose and lip)

  • Thin or aging upper lips

  • Asymmetric lip contours

  • Desire for a more pronounced Cupid’s bow

The Procedure: What to Expect

1. Surgical Technique

  • A small incision is made under the nose

  • A strip of skin is carefully removed

  • The upper lip is lifted and repositioned

  • Fine sutures close the incision for minimal scarring

2. Recovery Process

  • Swelling & bruising (3-7 days)

  • Dissolvable sutures (no removal needed)

  • Final results visible in 4-6 weeks

Results & Benefits

✅ Natural-looking lip enhancement
✅ Permanent results (unlike fillers)
✅ Improved lip shape and projection
✅ Youthful, balanced facial harmony

Combination Treatments

For optimal results, many patients pair a lip lift with:

  • Lip filler (for added volume)

  • Corner lip lift (to address downturned mouth)

  • Facelift or rhinoplasty (for full facial rejuvenation)

Why Choose a Central Lip Lift Over Fillers?

While fillers add volume, a lip lift:
✔ Permanently shortens a long philtrum
✔ Creates natural-looking elevation
✔ Avoids the “duck lip” effect from excessive filler
