What is Lip Lift Surgery?
Lip Lift Surgery is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip (called the philtrum), resulting in a more lifted, youthful, and defined lip shape. Rather than adding volume like fillers, a lip lift repositions your natural tissue to: reveal more of the upper lip, increase upper teeth visibility, improve lip curvature and cupid’s bow, create a more balanced lower-to-upper lip ratio, rejuvenate the mid-face area. It is a permanent enhancement with subtle yet powerful aesthetic impact-especially effective for aging lips or genetically long upper lips.

How the Procedure Works?
Consultation & Facial Evaluation
We begin with a personalized consultation to assess your facial proportions and smile dynamics. Photos and measurements are taken to plan a natural lift tailored to your anatomy.
Local Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia—no general sedation needed. You’re comfortable and alert during the process.
Bullhorn Incision Technique
A small incision is made just beneath the base of the nose in a bullhorn shape, hidden within the natural crease. A precise amount of skin is removed, and the upper lip is gently lifted and reshaped.
Closure & Recovery
Dissolvable or removable sutures are placed with extreme care to minimize scarring. A fine scar fades over time and becomes virtually invisible.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 1–2: Mild swelling, tightness, and sensitivity around the nose
- Day 3–5: Most swelling begins to subside, stitches remain in place
- Day 7: Suture removal (if non-dissolvable), early results visible
- 2–3 Weeks: Incision area fades, lips appear more defined and youthful
- 3–6 Months: Final scar maturation, permanent aesthetic results

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will there be a visible scar?
The incision is discreetly placed under the nose’s natural shadow. With proper care, the scar fades significantly within a few months and becomes barely noticeable.
Is a lip lift surgery better than fillers?
A lip lift offers permanent structure and shape improvement without the repeated volume or risk of overfilling. Many patients switch from fillers to a lip lift for more natural, lasting results.
How long do the results last?
Results are permanent. While natural aging continues, the lifted structure remains long term.
Can I combine a lip lift with other facial surgeries?
Yes! Many patients combine lip lifts with facelifts, eyelid surgery, or rhinoplasty for complete facial rejuvenation. We tailor combination plans to your needs.
How long should I stay in Turkey for a lip lift?
We recommend a 4–5 day stay for pre-op consultation, surgery, and post-op evaluation. DrBeauty handles your accommodation, transfers, and local care coordination.
