What Is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift surgery shortens the space from the upper lip to the nose (the philtrum). By lifting the upper lip, more of the pink lip tissue is visible, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance, without adding volume.
Lip lifts are especially popular among patients who feel their upper lip looks thin when they smile or has lengthened with age. Results are permanent, and the procedure can enhance tooth show, lip shape, and overall facial balance.
Best for:
- A long upper lip
- Minimal tooth show when smiling
- Age-related lip thinning
- Patients seeking subtle, natural enhancement
What Are Lip Implants?
Lip implants involve placing a soft, flexible implant into the lips to add permanent volume. Unlike fillers, implants do not dissolve over time, making them an option for those who want long-lasting fullness without repeated injections.
Implants come in various sizes and can be customized to your desired level of enhancement. However, they primarily add volume rather than altering lip position or shape.
Best for:
- Naturally thin lips
- Desire for permanent volume
- Patients who like the look of fuller lips at rest
- Those who don’t want ongoing filler maintenance
