Surgical Lip Lift in Los Angeles
Are you noticing that your upper lip is longer than you’d like, or that your upper teeth aren’t as visible as you’d prefer when you smile? Whether due to aging or hereditary factors, a longer upper lip can sometimes affect your facial harmony and confidence. Fortunately, a surgical lip lift can be the solution for this problem.
What is a Surgical Lip Lift?
A surgical lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance your facial aesthetics by shortening the length of the upper lip. This procedure not only elevates the lip but also improves the visibility of your upper teeth and creates a more youthful and balanced appearance.
Benefits of a Surgical Lip Lift
- Reduces Lip Length: By shortening the distance between your nose and your upper lip, a lip lift brings a natural lift to your smile.
- Improves Facial Balance: This procedure ensures that your facial features are more proportionate, creating a harmonious look
- Fuller upper lip: The surgical upper lip lift makes the upper lip fuller. Some patients will no longer need upper lip fillers after this procedure
- Enhances Youthfulness: With the upper lip lifted, you’ll achieve a youthful appearance that can rejuvenate your overall look.
- Helps eliminate a horizontal upper lip wrinkle which occures in some people when they smile.
How It Works
The lip lift procedure involves a bullhorn incision made at the base of the nose, where it is well-hidden. This incision allows the surgeon to remove a strip of skin excess, effectively shortening the upper lip, producing a fuller upper lip, and elevating it to reveal more of your upper teeth.
The procedure takes about 40 min and done in the office under local anesthesia. The suture is removed 5 days after surgery. Surgical lip lift is frequently combined with other procedures such as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, or facelift.

This is our previous rhinoplasty patient who underwent a surgical upper lip lift. Before surgery, her upper lip was long and completely covered the upper teeth. A lip lift in this patient produced a more youthful appearance by shortening the upper lip, increasing its fullness, and allowing the upper teeth to show when the mouth is slightly open.
Dr. Grigoryants’ nurse practitioner, Natalie, also performs lip injections using a technique known as the Russian Lip technique.
