About Lip Lift
What is a Lip Lift?
A surgical procedure that modifies the shape of your lips.
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia in either the upper or lower lip. It can be performed along with other procedures as well.
In the upper lip, a lip lift can be performed via an external approach with an incision right below the nose. It can also be performed via an internal approach on the inside of the upper lip. Dr. Athré only uses an internal approach for a lower lip lift. Internal incisions for lip lifts are excellent for adding volume to the central compartment of either the upper lip or the lower lip.
Whether it is the upper lip or the lower lip, a lip lift procedure takes approximately 1 hour. If both lips are being done, the procedure takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Lip Lift Recovery
Expect swollen lips for one or two weeks.
After a lip lift Houston patients can expect their lips to be swollen for one to two weeks. You also may experience a general tightness around your lips for two to three months. The surgical area might initially appear red and bruised, but the full results should be clear after six weeks. To lessen swelling and discomfort, use ice packs and take anti-inflammatory pain medication such as aspirin or ibuprofen.
