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
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!
Absolutely elated with my experience at Northwestern Med Spa in River North! Natasha was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly listened to my concerns and goals. She took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I understood exactly what to expect. The results are amazing—I look refreshed and natural, and the entire process was practically painless. Natasha was extremely patient when it came to answering questions and providing education! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to here. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with someone who is skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients! I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely incredible experience. Dr. Simon Moradian is one of the kindest and most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. 8 weeks ago I underwent a breast reduction and I was of course terrified. I essentially offloaded a small newborn from my chestal region, and he was there every single step of the way. Now that I have been through this process, I cannot imagine having any other doctor. I am so grateful for whatever stars aligned to connect me with Dr. Moradian and his whole entire time. From the guidance over the phone when I first called to the insurance approval, and any time I have needed support or an appointment. He and the whole staff really come through for you. They are kind, patient, and have great bedside manner. They've gone above and beyond for me more than once. They should be the standard for any experience like this. Shout out to the entire team! I am still healing and have a ways to go but I feel so supported and cared for. Any fears I had were always assuaged by the professional and knowledgeable Dr. Moradian. I have a friend who also utilized this clinic for her reduction and she spoke highly of her experience with another doctor there. Grateful every day that my search led me here! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Dr. Moradian was phenomenal before, during, and after my procedure. Before the procedure, Dr.Moradian was able to answer all of my questions and alleviated my concerns. His care and attention to detail during the procedure had me feeling confident about the future of my results. After the surgery, he set me up with a successful post-op regimen as well as followed up with me to make sure everything was healing correctly. I am only 4 months out and I have my ideal stomach. The words I can write to express to joy I feel every time I look at the results in the mirror could fill a book. Thank you Dr. Moradian
