Lip Lift in Los Angeles by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons

Lip Lift
A lip lift is used most often to the space between the upper lip and the nose, but sometimes can also correct lip asymmetry or simply create a more youthful upper lip contour. Incisions are usually well-hidden below the nostrils. Results are permanent and this procedure can be done under local anesthesia only, depending on the nature of the case.

Typical Recovery Time After Lip Lift: Depending on the case and how much skin was removed, plan for 1-2 weeks. Most patients are back to work in about a week and can resume moderate physical activity after several weeks to their comfort level. Final results occur in about 6 months after the scars have matured.

Lip Reduction
Lip reduction involves removing excess lip tissue to reduce the size of the upper and/or lower lips.

Typical Recovery Time After a Lip Reduction: Depending on the case and how much skin was removed, plan for mild to moderate pain for a few days after the procedure. Swelling and bruising can last several weeks. Most patients are back to work in about a week and can resume moderate physical activity after several weeks to their comfort level. Results are not considered final for several months.
