The upper lip lift is a surgical procedure that removes a small strip of skin from under your nose, shortening the area between the nose and upper lip to rejuvenate the lips. It is a simple outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. An upper lip lift typically takes about an hour and leaves an inconspicuous scar that heals in a few months.
As we age, our lips lose fullness, making them appear older. The lips droop due to the loss of support. This distance between the tip of the nose and the upper lip also gets longer with time. Sometimes the upper lip becomes so long that it weighs down the upper teeth.
This medical news and information sheet was written by Dr. Ralph ABBOU who is a plastic surgeon in Paris.
The upper lip lift is a reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery procedure that consists of removing a thin strip of skin under the nose and allows you to rejuvenate your mouth in a simple and permanent way. It is also called lip lift.

The aftermath of the upper lip lift is very simple: swelling and bruising for a few days which disappear spontaneously. Sutures are removed on the 7th postoperative day.
