Introduction
A subnasal lip lift involves lifting the tissue below the nose and above the upper lip to reposition the upper lip and restore aesthetic balance between the nose and the upper and lower lips.
At Statera Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery in San Francisco, CA, we understand that the appearance of your lips plays a significant role in your overall facial balance and self-confidence. Dr. Meaghan Noud, our esteemed double-board-certified ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, specializes in lip lift procedures to help you achieve a more balanced, proportionate smile.
A lip lift corrects an overly elongated philtrum (the strip of skin between the base of the nose and the upper lip), boosting lip volume and allowing for increased tooth show. The procedure allows the upper lip to gently unfurl and reveal more of its alluring pinkness, producing a youthful, feminine smile. Dr. Noud makes a tiny incision under the nose during surgery, resulting in highly inconspicuous scarring.
Ideal candidates for a customized lip lift in San Francisco are healthy, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations for their results. Dr. Noud provides an in-depth consultation before recommending the procedure to ensure the treatment will be safe, effective, and rewarding for you. In general, a lip lift can benefit those who want to increase lip volume but do not wish to resort to synthetic fillers or implants. It helps shorten the philtrum, improve lip symmetry, enhance definition in the Cupid’s bow, and create a more attractive, inviting smile.
Lip lift surgery with Dr. Noud in San Francisco provides the following key benefits:
Your journey towards achieving your desired lip aesthetic begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Noud at her world-class office in San Francisco, CA. During this preliminary consultation, she will carefully evaluate your lips, discuss your goals and concerns, and provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the lip lift procedure.
Dr. Noud will take the time to address any questions you may have and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. The lip lift procedure can be customized to address factors such as lip size, shape, and symmetry. Dr. Noud’s precise techniques ensure natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial aesthetics.
The lip lift procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Noud will make discreet incisions along the natural contours of the base of the nose or within the nostrils, depending on the specific technique chosen for your case. Through these incisions, she will carefully remove a small strip of skin to elevate and reshape the upper lip. The incisions are meticulously closed, resulting in minimal scarring that becomes inconspicuous over time.
Your Guide to Post-Lip Lift Care
Following a lip lift procedure, you can expect a short recovery period during which you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort. Dr. Noud will provide you with post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery.
As the swelling subsides, you will begin to see the improved shape, proportion, and definition of your lips. The final results of a lip lift are long-lasting, helping you achieve a more balanced and beautiful smile.
The cost of a lip lift in San Francisco can vary, as each procedure is meticulously customized to individual needs and goals. Dr. Noud and her team will provide a personalized price quote after completing your initial medical assessment and detailed consultation.
