Lip symmetry and shape are important to the facial balance and aesthetics. There are many factors that can impact the beauty of the lips. Genetics play a major role in the basic shape and volume. Some individuals have very thin or thick lips naturally, which can appear out of balance with the other facial features. Aging is another factor – it is common for lips to lose volume with age, as well as have lip lines or sagging. Cosmetic lip procedures can reduce lip size or augment the volume, and rejuvenation surgery can restore a more youthful mouth.

A good candidate is someone who wishes to enhance the shape, volume, or definition of their lips and is in overall good health. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more pronounced change, a consultation will help assess your facial proportions, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the best approach for you.
Lip fillers involve non-surgical injections that add volume and contour to the lips, typically offering results that last between 6 and 12 months. In contrast, a lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the nose by removing a small strip of tissue, creating a more permanent enhancement with a natural, rejuvenated look.
For lip fillers, you can expect a relatively quick, in-office procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime—often completed in under 30 minutes. If opting for a lip lift, the surgical process involves precise incisions and tissue removal under anesthesia, with a recovery period that includes some swelling and bruising.
Recovery varies by procedure. With lip fillers, any swelling or bruising typically subsides within a couple of days, allowing you to resume most activities almost immediately. A surgical lip lift may require a longer recovery—usually a week or two of downtime—with specific post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Both lip fillers and lip lifts carry some risks. With fillers, potential complications include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and in rare cases, vascular complications. Surgical lip lifts share general surgical risks such as infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. A thorough consultation and choosing an experienced provider can help minimize these risks.
The longevity of results depends on the procedure. Lip fillers typically last from 6 to 12 months before gradual resorption occurs, while a lip lift offers a more permanent solution, although natural aging will continue to affect the overall appearance of your lips over time.
When performed by a skilled practitioner, both lip fillers and lip lifts are designed to enhance your natural beauty. The goal is to achieve a balanced, proportionate look that complements your facial features while avoiding an overly “done” appearance.
For lip fillers, the process involves a series of targeted injections to add volume and improve contour. In a lip lift, precise incisions are made—often along the natural border of the upper lip—to remove a small strip of tissue, thereby elevating and reshaping the lip for a more youthful appearance.
