Lip Lift Newport Beach & Orange County

Increase the visibility of the upper lip for full and well-defined lips.

Luscious and balanced lips are a thing of beauty. With the cultural focus on lips within the last decade to create sexy and enhanced facial features, lip lift is the best in lip enhancement without overfilling the lips. The lip lift is one long-term solution to enhance the upper lip. Rather than increasing the volume of the lips, the lip lift increases the visible space of the upper lip by shortening the philtrum, or the space between the nose and the top lip. This can often make the lips look fuller and more pronounced by revealing more vermillion, or the pink part of the lips. With vast knowledge of facial plastic procedures and using his modified “Bull Horn” technique, Dr. Kevin Sadati offers a natural, and lifted look to create a youthful and fuller upper lip.

Preparing for Your Lip Lift

Luscious and balanced lips are a thing of beauty that we all recognize. With the cultural focus on lips within the last decade to create sexy and enhanced facial features, lip lift surgery has become the best lip enhancement procedure available without the risk of overfilling the lips. The surgical lip lift is one long-term solution to enhance the lips for whatever your ideal lip contour might be. Rather than blatantly increasing the volume of the lips, a lip lift increases the visible space of the upper lip by shortening the philtrum, or the space between the nose and the top lip. This can often make the lips look fuller and more pronounced by revealing more vermillion, or the darker part of the lips. With vast knowledge of facial plastic procedures and using his modified “Bull Horn” technique, Dr. Kevin Sadati offers a natural and lifted look to create a youthful and fuller lip with his tried-and-true upper lip lift procedure.

During your consultation with Dr. Sadati, you’ll discuss your best options for lip enhancement based on your lip and facial anatomy.

Dr. Sadati’s Lip Lift Method

There are a few different types of lip lift techniques that can be used to create a fuller, more flattering look to the lips. Dr. Sadati’s preferred technique is the endonasal lip lift (or subnasal lip lift), which comes with benefits like less visible scarring, a more pronounced roundness, fullness, and definition to the upper lip, and a smaller chance of visible tension. This modified upper lip lift requires a small incision underneath the nose so that a small area of skin can be reattached further inside the nose to gently pull the upper lip upwards. Finally, the incisions are closed and made ready for recovery.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR LIP LIFT RECOVERY

You’ll receive instructions to follow during recovery from lip lift surgery, including specific steps for a diet that avoids excessive chewing, which can harm the lip lift incisions and cause worse results.

You can expect minimal discomfort the first night after surgery that can be managed with Tylenol. You’ll need to keep yourself elevated while sleeping in order to avoid excess swelling and bruising and should use ice packs to manage discomfort. You can expect about one week of swelling and it can take up to one month before your final results settle in.

After an endonasal lip lift, the result is a more pronounced, fuller look to the lips and a shortened distance between the upper lip and nose for a more balanced look to the profile. There should be no long-lasting lip lift scar due to the gentle, minimally invasive incisions that Dr. Sadati will make in the skin between the nose and upper lip.
