A surgical lip lift is an option for those who want to make the upper lip more visible and change the proportions between the nose and mouth without simply adding volume with fillers.
Pay in installments from SEK 545 per month
4-6 hours
up to 2 weeks
A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This makes more of the red lip visible and can give the upper lip a more defined shape.
The procedure is also called a bullhorn lift or gullwing plastic surgery.
At Estetikcentrum in Malmö, the procedure is planned individually so that the result harmonizes with the rest of the face.
A lip lift may be appropriate for you if:
During the consultation, the surgeon assesses the proportions of the face, the movement of the lips, and what result may suit your circumstances.
The surgeons who perform lip augmentation at Estetikcentrum in Malmö have extensive experience and a very good reputation in the industry. They also train new plastic surgeons and give regular lectures.
During a surgical lip lift, a small amount of skin is removed from under the nose.
The upper lip is then gently lifted upwards and the incision is closed.
When the distance between the nose and lip is shortened, a larger portion of the red upper lip is exposed.
Anesthesia:
You can have the surgery under general anesthesia if desired, but this surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia.
Fillers and surgical lip lifts produce different types of changes.
Fillers add volume to the lips and can be used to shape the contour.
A lip lift, on the other hand, does not add volume. Instead, it changes the position of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the lip.
This means that a patient may have relatively full lips but still experience the upper lip looking small because a smaller portion of the red lip is exposed.
In such cases, a surgical lip lift may be more relevant than adding additional volume.
The results of a lip lift are visible early on, but should not be assessed immediately after surgery because the swelling affects the shape of the lip.
As the swelling decreases, the new shape begins to appear more clearly.
When the final result can be assessed:
You usually see the results when the swelling has subsided after about 2-3 months.
The result is long-lasting, although the lips and face continue to change naturally over time.

The goal is for you to feel well-informed, involved and confident throughout the entire process.
As with all surgery, a scar occurs.
In a lip lift, the incision is placed in the area under the nose to make it as discreet as possible.
Exact incision placement:
The incision is placed discreetly just below the wings of the nose, in the natural nasal crease, to make the scar as little visible as possible.
During the first period, the scar may be red or more prominent. It then gradually changes as it heals.
How visible the scar ultimately becomes is affected by factors such as the skin's properties, healing and aftercare.
