What Is A Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a minimally invasive plastic surgery aimed at creating a fuller, shapelier upper lip. As we get older, our upper lip tends to curl in, creating a larger gap between the nose and mouth. Lip lift surgery corrects this condition to restore a more balanced, youthful appearance to the face. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, our providers have extensive experience performing lip lifts using their skills and artistry to create natural-looking results for Chicago, IL patients. To find out if lip lift surgery is right for you, schedule a consultation at our plastic surgery practice today.
How Is Lip Lift Surgery Performed?
During your consultation, we'll discuss your needs and examine the shape of your lips to decide on an approach for your lip lift. The specifics of your procedure may vary based on your anatomy, but we generally perform lip lift surgery using the sub-nasal method. First, we'll numb the lip area (or provide general anesthesia). After that, one of our plastic surgeons will carefully remove some of the skin under the nose before closing the gap and stitching your upper lip into a lifted position. When we're finished, we'll discuss aftercare instructions, after which you can go home and start the healing process. Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort over the first few weeks after their lip lift, but this should fade as the area heals.
What Are the Benefits of Lip Lift Surgery?
If you're unhappy with the proportions of your face, lip lift surgery at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery may provide a solution. This advanced procedure can deliver subtle yet noticeable results with benefits that include:
- Lifts the corners of the mouth
- Creates a refreshed look
- Little to no recovery period
- Minimizes the appearance of smoker's lines on the top lip
- Minimal scarring
- Produces rounder lips
- Creates a fuller, more confident smile
Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!
Simon was phenomenal. I decided at age 16 to gauge my ears and stretched them far beyond the point of them closing on their own. I am getting married and wanted to be able to wear regular earrings for the first time in 20 years. Simon came to rescue after I was quoted waaaaay too much from another surgeon that basically wanted to cut my ears that day without letting them heal on their own and told me he could inject them with filler after they healed (like, WHAT?) Simon was so thorough and patient during our consultation and even more so during the actual procedure. He let my ears close naturally for a while to avoid removing too much tissue so they would look normal and healthy after they healed. EVERYONE is shocked (including me) that they look so good. You would never know that I had enormous holes in my ears for 20 years. 10/10 recommend for any procedure.
Dr. Schierle and his team are THE BEST!! I got breast augmentation on January 9th. It’s Perfect! Love my new look! I feel more confidence now than before. Thank you again for your best work.
Had DCF rhinoplasty with Dr. Schierle, Dr. Moradian, and Monica in Dec of 2024. Definitely THE best experience I had ! The consultation was personalized, you could tell they are some of the best surgeons in the game. I never had any surgeries, so I was very nervous. But they made the process so smooth. I loved the results so much. They kept my natural beauty and elevated the new nose to complement my face better. Even some of my close friends wanted to book a consultation with them after seeing my new nose! 100000/10 recommend!
Amazing experience with Robyn for all of my injection and skincare needs! The staff is amazing and highly skilled. The entire staff is super welcoming and warm. I always recommend to my friends and family!
