Upper Lip Lift
Upper Lip Lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, lifting the lip to create a more youthful, fuller appearance and greater tooth show when smiling. It improves lip proportions and can enhance facial harmony and femininity.
Performed by Dr. Adibfar at Element Toronto, this procedure is customized to your facial features, lip shape, and aesthetic goals. The most common technique uses a small incision hidden just beneath the nose (bullhorn or subnasal approach), allowing precise removal of excess skin and elevation of the upper lip.
The surgery can be performed at any adult age. It is often done as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial surgeries. Risks include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, asymmetry, and visible scarring (though usually well-hidden). Dr. Adibfar will discuss all risks with you during your consultation.
Most patients return to work within 5–7 days. Swelling and bruising subside over 1–2 weeks, with final results visible after 4–6 weeks once healing is complete. The results are permanent.
