Lip Lift in Rockville | More Youthful or Fuller Appearance

Lip Lift

Do you want to see more fullness of your upper lip but looking for a more permanent solution than fillers?

Lip Lift is a surgical procedure whereby skin in between the nose and lip is removed and meticulously sewn back together to shorten the distance between the nose and lip and cause the upper lip to rotate upwards, leading to a more full appearance. The incision is typically hidden directly under the nose and is nearly imperceptible after healing is complete. This transformation is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia.

What can I expect before and after lip lift?

Before:

  • Thorough consultation with Drs. Pham or Goodrich, with medical grade photography with discussion of all options
  • Avoid NSAIDs/blood thinning medications/supplements 2 weeks pre-operatively

After:

  • Usually procedure is performed in-office
  • Limit smiling and opening mouth widely for 2 weeks to prevent widening of the scar
  • Sutures will be removed 7-10 days post procedure
  • Expect to have some moderate swelling and possible bruising
  • No drinking through a straw for 1 month after procedure
