What Is Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that elevates the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose.
Unlike fillers, a lip lift does not add volume.
It repositions tissue to improve:
• Upper lip show
• Tooth display
• Vermilion definition
• Facial balance
The goal is structural refinement — not exaggerated fullness.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Lip Lift?
You may be a suitable candidate if:
• You have a long upper lip (increased philtrum length)
• Your upper teeth are not visible when smiling
• Lip fillers have not provided desired lift
• You seek permanent improvement
• You are in good general health
A detailed facial assessment determines whether a lip lift alone or combined procedures are appropriate.

How Is Lip Lift Surgery Performed in Istanbul?
Lip lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia.
Procedure overview:
• A carefully measured incision is made just beneath the nose (often in a bullhorn shape)
• A small strip of skin is removed
• The upper lip is gently elevated
• The incision is closed with fine sutures
The procedure usually takes approximately 45–60 minutes.
Incisions are placed along natural nasal contours to minimize visibility.
Modern techniques prioritize subtle elevation and natural proportion.
