What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the space between the upper lip and the base of the nose, known as the philtrum. This subtle adjustment enhances the appearance of the lips, making them look fuller, more defined, and more youthful. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume temporarily, a lip lift offers a permanent enhancement that accentuates the natural shape of your lips.

What Does a Lip Lift Do?

A lip lift in NYC with Dr. Singh provides several aesthetic benefits, including:

Enhanced Lip Definition

By lifting the upper lip, the procedure creates a more pronounced, defined lip shape, giving you a naturally fuller look.

Youthful Appearance

As we age, the distance between the nose and upper lip increases, leading to a thinner upper lip and a more aged facial appearance. A lip lift reverses this effect, restoring a youthful balance to your facial features.

Improved Smile

By exposing more of the upper teeth when you smile, a lip lift can enhance the overall aesthetics of your smile, making it appear more attractive and inviting.

Lasting Results

Unlike temporary solutions such as fillers, a lip lift offers lasting results that can significantly improve your facial harmony.

What is the Lip Lift Procedure?

Dr. Singh performs the lip lift with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking results that work to enhance your unique facial features. The procedure involves the following steps:

  • Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Singh assesses your facial structure, discusses your aesthetic goals, and determines if a lip lift is the right option for you.
  • Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Incision: Dr. Singh makes a small, discreet incision at the base of the nose. This incision is placed to the precision, becoming virtually invisible once healed.
  • Adjustment: Dr. Singh removes a small strip of skin beneath the nose, effectively shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This adjustment lifts the lip, creating a more youthful and defined appearance.
  • Closure: The incision is meticulously closed with fine sutures, ensuring a smooth, virtually invisible scar hidden at the base of the nose.

The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking about one hour to complete.

What is the Recovery Time After a Lip Lift?

Recovery from a lip lift is generally straightforward, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Healing

Swelling and bruising around the incision site are expected during the first few days but typically subside within a week.

Pain Management

Any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, and Dr. Singh will provide specific aftercare instructions to promote healing.

Suture Removal

Sutures are typically removed within a week of the procedure, and patients can begin to see the initial results as swelling decreases.

Return to Normal Activities

Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, but you will be asked to avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks.

Dr. Singh’s dedication to patient care extends well beyond the operating room. He provides detailed aftercare instructions and can address any concerns during recovery, ensuring a smooth and comfortable healing experience.
