Still, now, it is performed as a stand-alone surgery for younger patients. Lip lift surgery for younger patients is an appealing option for those who want fuller, bigger lips but do not want multiple lip filler injections. Secondly, with the advancement in techniques and cosmetic surgeons' expertise, the modified version of lip rejuvenation came into the picture, which redefined lip rejuvenation and made it popular for all age groups of patients. Typically, performed under local anesthesia, one can enjoy a faster recovery, easy procedure, and long-lasting effect in just less than an hour helps achieve a more enhanced cupid's bow, says Dr. Karishma Kagodu (MS, MCh), a celebrity plastic surgeon and head of Dr. Karishma Aesthetics, Indiranagar, Bangalore.

What Is a Lip Lift Surgery?

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure to make one's lip more aesthetically appealing, enhancing the cupid's bow, exposing the redness of the lips to roll outward, and creating a more volumized, fuller, and enhanced lip profile that lasts longer with proper maintenance, as aging and lifestyle could alter the appearance over the years.

The surgical procedure of lip lift helps elevate the upper lip by harvesting skin between the nose and the border of the top lip, enhancing the lip profile by exposing more of the deep pink color of the lip. However, the lip looks volumized, contoured, and fuller, and one can rest assured about the result's longevity. Instead, filler material lip lift is performed by removing excess skin between your nose and upper lip to pull up your lips. However, the purpose of lip lift surgery is either shortening the distance between the nose and the top of the lip, called philtral length, or increasing the size of a naturally very thin lip, "celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Karishma Kagodu explains."

Why Do People Get Lip Lifts?

As people age, they can experience some alterations in their lip appearance. However, thinning lips has become a common problem. Along with thinning lips, people may lose sharp architecture, and less visible upper teeth make it more necessary to have lip lift surgery. Thus, it is recommended to have a lip rejuvenation consultation done with a board-certified plastic surgeon before receiving any lip fillers, as they can cause aging and interrupt the proper sequence of the lip rejuvenation procedure. Lip lift surgery places the foundation of the lip in the desired youthful, contoured, and shortened position.

Is There More Than One Kind of Lip Lift?

At Kaesthetics, Dr. Karishma Kagodu performs four types of lip lifts depending on one's need, desired goals, facial profile, and realistic expectations. Even though lip lift is highly customized, it is significantly influenced by the methods we choose to perform the surgery based on the patient's need and desired results. The variations of lip lift procedures can deliver similar results through various techniques to fulfill the goals of a specific case.

     I.          Indirect lip lift:

This is the most common lip lift procedure in which a plastic surgeon cuts a small portion of skin out just beneath the nose, elevates the skin below, and makes your lip more prominent by exposing the pink skin. The recovery process is easy, and the results are dramatic.

  II.          Direct Lip Lift:

This is a sophisticated surgery in which lip color is enhanced by elevating tissue and skin directly above the lips rather than under the nose. The cupid's bow is enhanced outward, resulting in a more rejuvenated lip profile.

III.          Corner of the Mouth Lift:

This is the best recommendation for patients with the corners of the mouth looking frowning or feeling like their face sags around the lips. The corner of the mouth lip lift can turn a frown into a smile.

IV.          Central Lip Lift Surgery:

A plastic surgeon uses an incision to eliminate a thin strip of skin, reducing the distance between the nose and the upper lip. As a result, a fuller upper lip is created. Central lip lift is the best for those having only a small amount of sagging skin.
