Lip Lift

 

Introduction to Lip Lift

An attractive smile can disarm the most confronting of situations. Full, beautiful lips are not just an aesthetic goal but also a functional tool for social interactions and, quite often, a chance to make a lasting impression. With age and gravity, the mouth can sometimes lower its placement on the face, leading to a disproportionate facial appearance. A lip lift is a procedure that lifts the lips, reducing the distance between the nose and mouth.

Double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jigar Sitapara offers a lip lift to patients in Columbia, Howard County, and the greater Baltimore area. If you are interested in this procedure, keep reading the information below to learn more about this cosmetic procedure and the extensive care taken towards patient satisfaction at Prime Facial Plastic Surgery.

What Is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a plastic surgery procedure offered to fix elongation of the upper lip, which happens as we age. It is also sought by patients wanting fuller lips with improved smiles without using fillers. The results from a lip lift, unlike fillers, are permanent. Prospective patients should get a lip lift from Dr. Sitapara to refresh their facial harmony and renew their confidence in their smiles.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

The first step to undergoing a lip lift from Prime Facial Plastic Surgery is coming in for a consultation with dual-board plastic surgeon Dr. Sitapara. During the appointment, Dr. Sitapara will learn more about why you are interested in the surgery, including talking to you about your health history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations.

During your consultation, Dr. Sitapara will examine your face and, based on your facial anatomy, point out the best placement for surgery. He will also explain the procedure in detail, the recovery timeline, and any associated risks.

Dr. Sitapara will also discuss with you whether a lip lift is the best procedure for you. Depending on patient goals, a lip filler may be recommended in conjunction with or as a substitute for a lip lift.

Our patient coordinator will discuss pricing, financing, and surgery dates after the consultation. Once your surgery is booked, we’ll provide you with pre- and post-operative instructions. Patients should not view these as guidelines but as lip-lift rules, as they are designed to ensure a safe and comfortable surgery with a speedy recovery.

What to Expect On the Day of a Lip Lift Surgery

On the day of your lip lift in Maryland, Dr. Sitapara and his team will welcome you to our surgery center and make sure you’re fully comfortable. An isolated lip lift can be performed under local anesthesia or under sedation. Once you are numbed, Dr. Sitapara will create incisions that minimize scarring so they are at the base of the nose or hidden in the natural lip line. He will then manipulate the lips to elevate them to the final placement, as discussed, giving the lips an enhanced appearance. Once finished, Dr. Sitapara will seal the incisions with sutures and cleanse the area.

On average, this surgery typically takes about one hour.

Lip Lift Recovery

After your lip lift surgery, you will be monitored for a short period of time in recovery. You may wear a mask immediately after surgery to hide any swelling. If the procedure was done under sedation, we recommend having family or a friend wait with you to drive you back home in case of any remnant effects of anesthesia.

Patients will experience swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort, but most of these should resolve in the first week. It is recommended that you rest during this time and let the body recover. Beyond the first few days, we still encourage our patients to avoid any strenuous activities for the first few weeks and follow the specific guidelines for eating, drinking, talking, and using the lips and overall mouth area.
