Insight
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift consultation helps you understand options for shortening the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip, creating improved lip definition and a more youthful contour.
Unlike lip fillers, which focus on volume, a lip lift consultation focuses on shape and tooth show by discussing repositioning of the upper lip. This may help:
- Increase upper lip visibility
- Improve lip-to-nose proportion
- Enhance smile aesthetics
- Create a more defined vermilion border
A lip lift discussion focuses on structural refinement rather than added bulk.
Suitability
Who is a Good Candidate for a Lip Lift?
You may be a suitable candidate for a lip lift consultation if:
- The space between your nose and upper lip feels long
- Your upper lip appears thin when smiling
- You desire improved tooth show
- Lip fillers have not achieved the desired shape
- You are in good general health
- You have realistic expectations
During consultation, Dr. Govind Gupta evaluates facial proportions, lip length, dental show, and skin quality before recommending the most suitable planning approach.
Technique
Types of Lip Lift
- Subnasal (Bullhorn) Lip Lift

Advantages
Benefits of Lip Lift
When planned conservatively, a lip lift consultation may help you:
- Shorten the upper lip length

The goal of a lip lift discussion is refined proportion rather than artificial fullness.
