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
Over the past two years I have worked with Dr. Schierle to achieve my postpartum 'glow up' and couldn't be more thrilled with my results. Both my chin lipo and upper bleph have left me feeling refreshed, confident and more youthful. I had both procedures in office under local anesthesia and had no issues. Not only does Dr. Schierle care about the physical result of his work but he also cares deeply about how the patient feels, which I experienced first hand during my 3 and 4 month post op appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Schierle for your plastic surgery needs- he's exceptional!

Dr. Moradian is one of a kind. Not only is he a talented surgeon but he has a great bedside manner. I am very pleased with the outcome of my procedure. I recommend Dr. Moradian very highly!
Dr. Moradian is very welcoming, professional, and talented and provides excellent care. I recommend him to anybody considering cosmetic surgery.
I love how I look and feel—that is obvious, that is the stuff that shows to the world. But what Dr. Schierle and Monika Cieszynski did for me was really so much more than that. I have struggled with loose skin and a large belly my whole life. What they REALLY did for me was free up space in my mind. I cannot put accurately into words what this does to a person. I am free. I have so much gratitude and appreciation. My body is strong and looks great—but my mind—what it did for my mind is quite profound.
