Lip Lift Dothan, AL | Dr. Scott Asher

Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure

A lip lift is a permanent cosmetic procedure that shortens the space between the base of the nose and the top lip, resulting in a more pronounced and shapely upper lip. Unlike temporary lip fillers, this surgical technique provides a structured and stable enhancement to the lip's appearance.

Procedure Benefits

• Permanent lip enhancement
• Increased upper lip visibility
• More defined lip contours
• Improved lip symmetry

Lip Lift Technique

During the procedure, Dr. Asher carefully removes a small bullhorn-shaped section of skin between the nose and upper lip. This technique creates a more pronounced and shapely appearance, enhancing the natural curves of the lips.

Ideal Candidates

Lip lift procedures are suitable for individuals of various ages and skin tones. A comprehensive consultation will determine candidacy, considering factors such as lip anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Procedure Details

The lip lift is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort. The process involves precise skin removal to create a more defined and elevated upper lip, typically taking approximately one hour.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect several days of initial downtime, with swelling subsiding within two weeks. Full results become visible between two to four months post-procedure, with continued improvement over time.

Comparing Lip Lift to Fillers

Unlike recurring lip filler treatments, a lip lift offers a permanent solution for those seeking a more consistent and refined lip appearance. The procedure eliminates the need for repeated cosmetic interventions every few months.
