Lip Lift Surgery
Also known as: Surgical lip augmentation, Gullwing lip lift, Bullhorn lip lift
A lip lift is a subtle yet transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape of the upper lip and restore youthful balance to the face. By shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip, the lips appear fuller, more defined, and naturally rejuvenated - without the need for fillers.
At SO Aesthetics, lip lift surgery is performed by an experienced specialist facial surgeon, ensuring refined, natural-looking results tailored to your facial proportions.
What Is Lip Lift Surgery?
Lip lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that permanently enhances the upper lip by repositioning it into a more youthful, lifted position. Unlike dermal fillers, which add temporary volume, a lip lift reshapes the lip itself.
A small, carefully placed incision is made just beneath the nose. By removing a small amount of skin and lifting the upper lip, more of the natural pink lip is revealed. The result is improved lip definition, balance, and a softer, more youthful appearance.
A lip lift is an excellent alternative for patients seeking long-lasting lip enhancement without ongoing maintenance treatments.
