Understanding Lip Lift Surgery

At Elle Aesthetic Arts in Loudoun County, Dr. Larry Lickstein offers lip lift surgery for patients seeking to improve upper lip size, proportion, and restore a youthful appearance. This precise surgical enhancement can be performed as a standalone procedure or integrated into a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.

What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a surgical enhancement targeting the philtrum, the area between the nose base and upper lip. Medical experts recommend an ideal philtrum length of 11-13 millimeters for women. As aging occurs, this area lengthens, causing the characteristic philtral dimple to flatten.

Surgical Benefits of Lip Lift

  • Add volume to thin upper lips
  • Reduce dependency on injectable lip fillers
  • Restore youthful lip appearance
  • Define the cupid's bow
  • Improve smile by increasing tooth visibility

Procedure Details

Typically performed under local anesthesia, the lip lift procedure takes less than an hour. Dr. Lickstein utilizes a "bullhorn" incision carefully placed to minimize visible scarring. By removing a strategic wedge of skin beneath the nose, he raises the upper lip to achieve natural, proportionate results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal downtime following the procedure. Mild swelling and temporary tightness are normal during the initial healing phase. Dr. Lickstein provides personalized post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery and results.

Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal candidates are individuals in good health seeking to correct a long upper lip, enhance lip definition, or achieve a fuller upper lip appearance. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Lickstein will help determine the most appropriate approach for individual aesthetic goals.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, Elle Aesthetic Arts offers non-surgical alternatives like injectable lip fillers, Ultherapy, and Plasma Pen treatments. These options can provide subtle lip and perioral rejuvenation with minimal recovery time.

Had a Hydrafacial today with Zineb, nickname "Z" :) I can't say enough at how wonderful she is and my skin looks amazing now. It is smoother, more even toned, and really kinda glows now ... I was surprised at how much of a difference it made. On top of that. Zineb's knowledge of skin was apparent from the moment I sat down with her. She really cares about giving the best treatments and individualized her suggestions based on my skin type. She is definitely the best and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks "Z" In addition, I recently worked with Aleva and she helped me get a "performance IV" to help me with my next long run. She was so kind and I didn't feel a thing. I did feel great during my run and I'm really glad I did it. Highly recommend Aleva at Elle. She's great!

I had an incredible experience at Elle Aesthetic Arts and Skin Care! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. Z is truly skilled and knowledgeable, taking the time to assess my skin and tailor the treatment to my needs. The facial was soothing, and my skin felt rejuvenated and glowing afterward. I appreciate the professionalism, high-quality products, and the personalized care I received. I highly recommend z to anyone looking for expert skincare and a relaxing experience!

I cannot say enough good things about my esthetician, Brittany! As a Black woman, it means so much to find someone who truly understands my skin and delivers results that exceed expectations. I’ve seen her for three mini melange peels, and each time I’ve walked away feeling more confident and glowing. The compliments I’ve received from friends have been nonstop and people have literally asked me what I’ve been doing differently, and the answer is simple: Brittany. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and so intentional with her work. I’m incredibly thankful for her skills, her care, and the beautiful results. So glad I found her!

This was my first time coming to Elle Aesthetics. From the receptionist to my injector Jen this has hands down been the best experience I’ve had. Their warmth and attentiveness allowed me to shift from initially being nervous to feeling so comfortable within just moments. Jen is so knowledgeable, communicative and understanding. This was a five star experience from start to finish!
