A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the lips by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip (philtrum), resulting in a fuller, more youthful appearance. It treats issues such as a long upper lip, minimal lip volume, or an aged lip shape.
About Lip Lift
During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision either directly under the nose or along the border of the nostrils, depending on the desired outcome. Excess skin is then removed, and the lip is lifted and repositioned to create a more defined lip contour and increased lip show. Dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions.
Recovery from a lip lift typically involves mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which subsides over the first week. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions to promote proper healing. While initial results are noticeable shortly after surgery, final results become more apparent as swelling resolves over the following weeks.

FAQs
- Am I suitable for a lip lift?
Good candidates for a lip lift typically have a long upper lip, minimal lip volume, or an aged lip shape. They desire a fuller, more youthful appearance to the lips and have realistic expectations about the outcome. A consultation with Refresh Medispa’s qualified surgeon helps determine candidacy based on individual goals and anatomy.
- Can a lip lift combine with other treatments?
Combining a lip lift with other facial procedures like a mini facelift or non-surgical nose job (non-surgical rhinoplasty) enhances overall facial aesthetics. Addressing multiple areas simultaneously can create a harmonious and balanced appearance, improving features such as lip volume, facial contours, and nasal shape for a more cohesive and rejuvenated look.
- Is a lip lift safe?
A lip lift is generally safe when performed by Refresh Medispa’s qualified and experienced surgeon in a controlled medical environment. Pre-operative evaluation ensures patient suitability, while adherence to surgical protocols minimises risks. Surgeons employ precise techniques to achieve desired outcomes while prioritising patient safety and well-being throughout the procedure.
- What downtime should I expect following a lip lift?
Following a lip lift, patients typically experience minimal downtime lasting about one to two weeks. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but subside with proper care. Most individuals can resume normal activities within this time frame, with final results becoming noticeable as swelling resolves.
- How long does a lip lift last?
The results of a lip lift are typically long-lasting, providing permanent enhancement to lip aesthetics. While the ageing process continues, the structural changes made during the procedure endure. With proper care and maintenance, patients can expect improvements in lip volume and shape for many years.
