Why get a lip lift?
Enhance Your Smile by Shortening a Long Upper Lip
Some people have a naturally longer upper lip that partially covers their teeth when they smile or causes their facial appearance to lack symmetry. Other patients find their upper lip stretching and lengthening due to age. This causes the red part of the lip to curve or roll inward, which makes the lip look thinner and hang over the upper teeth.
A Lasting Alternative to Fillers
Many people use fillers to enhance their lips. This treatment is effective, but it has limitations and it’s not permanent. A lip lift puts the upper lip in proportion with the rest of the facial features and creates an attractive shape, symmetry, and fullness. The results are considered permanent.
What a Lip Lift Can Fix
A lip lift can resolve the following concerns:
- A sagging upper lip
- A smile partly covered by a drooping upper lip
- A thin upper lip
- A longer distance between the upper lip and the nose

What should I expect during a lip lift?
You will start with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Savalia. He will look at your medical history, examine your lips and skin, and discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals.
To begin your procedure, Dr. Savalia will inject local anesthesia into the upper lip. He will draw marks under your nose where he will make the incision. The incision point is placed and made very carefully to reduce any visible scarring. Once the incision is made, Dr. Savalia will precisely remove a small section of skin, gently lift the lip upward and secure it with sutures.
Your lip lift will release and unfurl your upper lip to create a full, youthful, enhanced effect.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.

Recovery
Your upper lip will be sore and swollen for the first few days, which is expected during your recovery. Keep your incision clean and apply antibacterial ointment to the area for the first week.
You may need a few days to rest, although some patients are up and about the next day. Avoid exercise or strenuous physical activity for about two weeks.
Your final results will be most apparent within a couple of months. At that point, you will be able to enjoy the better proportioned, more enhanced and shapely appearance of your lips.

What procedures can be combined with a lip lift?
Because it is such a simple, short procedure, a lip lift is easy to pair with one or more other procedures. Dr. Savalia frequently combines a lip lift with a facelift to enhance and rejuvenate the overall look. The facelift and lip lift is a popular combination of the results to provide a youthful-looking, fresh face.
Your lip lift can be combined with a brow lift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, or other similar procedures based on your cosmetic concerns and aesthetic goals.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
