Lip Lift Surgery in Mumbai
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape and appearance of the lips by shortening the philtrum (the space between the upper lip and the nose). This surgery creates a more youthful and fuller upper lip without the use of fillers, offering long-lasting, natural results.
Why Choose a Lip Lift?
Enhanced Lip Appearance – Lifts and reshapes the upper lip for a more defined, youthful look.
Permanent Results – Unlike dermal fillers, a lip lift provides a long-lasting enhancement.
Improved Facial Harmony – Balances facial proportions by correcting an elongated philtrum.
Minimal Downtime – A quick outpatient procedure with a relatively short recovery period.
Am I Ready for a Lip Lift?
- Do you feel that your upper lip is too long or lacks volume?
- Are you in good overall health with no medical conditions affecting healing?
- Have you considered non-surgical options and are seeking a permanent solution?
- Are you comfortable with a subtle yet noticeable improvement rather than dramatic volume?
- Do you have realistic expectations about the outcome and healing process?
What Happens During a Lip Lift?
- Your surgeon will assess your facial proportions and discuss your desired lip shape.
- The best technique will be chosen based on your anatomy and goals.
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, ensuring minimal discomfort.
- Incision Placement – A small incision is made at the base of the nose (bullhorn lip lift) to remove excess skin.
- Lifting and Suturing – The upper lip is lifted, reshaped, and secured with fine sutures for natural-looking results.
- The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the technique used.
Recovery: Understanding the Healing Process
- Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the upper lip are normal.
- Stitches are typically removed within a week.
- Patients should avoid excessive mouth movements and follow aftercare instructions.
- Most swelling subsides, revealing the new lip shape.
- Lip mobility improves, and the incision line fades gradually.
- Scar care techniques (such as silicone gel) can help minimize visible scarring.
- The results continue to refine over a few months as the incision fully heals.
- Avoid smoking and excessive sun exposure to maintain results.
- Regular follow-ups with your surgeon help monitor healing and progress.
