The lip lift is a subtle yet very powerful surgery to restore a youthful appearance and improve fullness of the lips.
Did you know that as we age the upper lip lengthens? Ideally when the mouth is at rest, we should be able to see a few millimeters of the front teeth. At a subconscious level this signals beauty and youth. With age the upper lip descends down and covers the incisors. This transformative procedure subtly enhances the beauty of your lips by lifting the lip back up and improving incisor show, creating natural-looking results that bring a renewed sense of youth and confidence to your smile.
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, fullness, and symmetry of the lips by repositioning the upper lip to reveal more of the incisors. A lip lift shortens the space between the nose and upper lip, restoring balance and harmony to the facial features.

The Lip Lift Procedure
During the lip lift procedure, Dr. Gallagher makes carefully placed incisions along the base of the nose, where the resulting scars are well-concealed. Through these incisions, excess skin is removed, and the upper lip is lifted and reshaped to achieve the desired outcome. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. Many patients will add this on also when getting another procedure done under general anesthetic.
Recovery and Results
After the lip lift procedure, you may experience some swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few days. Dr. Gallagher and her team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery. As the swelling resolves, you will begin to notice the beautiful results of your lip lift, with improved incisor show and enhanced lip aesthetics. The final results will continue to refine over time, revealing a more youthful and rejuvenated smile.
