Lip Surgery

Lip surgery encompasses lip lift, lip reduction and augmentation. A lip lift shortens the distance between nose and vermilion border to enhance tooth show and upper lip pout. Lip reduction removes excess vermilion to reshape oversized lips. These minimally invasive procedures provide permanent, natural outcomes. Cutis Hospital’s facial plastic surgeons tailor incision patterns and tissue excision to individual anatomy for balanced lip aesthetics.

Overview

Lip lift uses incisions beneath the nose (central) or at mouth corners to elevate and evert the upper lip. Lip reduction cheiloplasty removes mucosal and submucosal tissue via intraoral incisions. Both procedures typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Sutures removed at 5–7 days; optimal results evident by 4–6 weeks.

Lip lifts rejuvenate aging perioral area by increasing vermilion show. Lip reduction addresses hypercheilia for functional comfort. Procedures combine precise resection and scar-hiding techniques. Cutis Hospital ensures natural lip contours with minimal downtime.

Who is a candidate for lip lift or reduction?

Candidates for a lip lift or reduction are usually adults with a long upper lip or reduced tooth show who want a more defined, youthful lip contour. Healthy individuals without conditions that impair wound healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes, are best suited for surgery. Non-smokers or those who can cease smoking before and after the procedure are preferred to minimize risks. Realistic expectations about improvement and facial harmony are essential for good surgical outcomes

How is a lip lift performed?

A lip lift is performed by marking and making an incision just below the nose or above the upper lip, then removing a small strip of skin. The remaining skin is gently lifted and sutured, elevating the upper lip for improved contour and tooth show. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour
