What is an Upper Lip Lift?
An Upper Lip Lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. This creates a more youthful and attractive appearance by increasing the visibility of the upper teeth, enhancing the cupid’s bow, and providing a fuller, more defined lip contour. The most common technique for this procedure is the Subnasal Bullhorn lift, which involves removing a small strip of skin from beneath the nose.
Why Consider an Upper Lip Lift?
As we age, our facial features change. One of the common signs of ageing is the elongation of the upper lip, which can make the face look older and the lips thinner. Here are some compelling reasons to consider an Upper Lip Lift:
1. Youthful Appearance: Shortening the upper lip creates a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
2. Enhanced Smile: By increasing the visibility of the upper teeth, your smile becomes more pronounced and attractive.
3. Fuller Lips: The procedure provides a natural-looking fullness to the lips without the need for fillers.
4. Permanent Results: Unlike injectable fillers, an upper lip lift offers long-lasting results.

The Subnasal Bullhorn Technique
The Subnasal Bullhorn technique is named for its incision shape, which resembles a bull’s horns. This method is preferred for its effectiveness and minimal scarring. Here’s how it works:
– Incision: An incision is made just beneath the base of the nose, following its natural contour.
– Skin Removal: A small strip of skin is carefully removed, creating a lift in the upper lip.
– Closure: The incision is closed with fine sutures, which are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
The Procedure and Recovery
An Upper Lip Lift is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, making it a comfortable experience for patients. The procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours.
Recovery:
– Immediate Post-Op: You may experience some swelling and bruising, which is normal and subsides within a week or two.
– Stitches Removal: Sutures are usually removed within 5-7 days post-surgery.
– Return to Activities: Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, though it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks.
To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, it is essential to follow all post-operative care instructions provided. This includes keeping the incision site clean, avoiding makeup near the treated area, and protecting the lips from excessive sun exposure.

Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
While the Upper Lip Lift is primarily known for its cosmetic benefits, it can also have a significant impact on one’s overall well-being. Many patients report a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem following the procedure. Feeling good about your appearance can positively affect various aspects of your life, from social interactions to professional opportunities.
Additionally, this procedure can enhance the results of other facial treatments. For example, if you’ve had a facelift or are considering one, an upper lip lift can complement the results by ensuring that all facial features are harmonious and balanced.
