What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift enhances the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and the lip, creating a lifted and more defined shape. This procedure can improve lip volume and contour while maintaining a natural appearance. The incision is typically hidden along the base of the nose to ensure minimal visible scarring and long-lasting results.

Candidates for a Lip Lift

Ideal candidates for a lip lift are individuals who feel that their upper lip appears elongated, lacks volume, or does not complement their facial features. This procedure is ideal for those looking for a permanent enhancement without relying on fillers. During a consultation with Dr. Daraei, he will assess your facial proportions and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if a lip lift is the right treatment option for you.

Lip Lift Procedure

A lip lift is performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation, depending on the patient’s comfort level. A small incision is made at the base of the nose, and skin is removed to lift the upper lip. The incision is then closed to ensure a natural appearance. The procedure typically takes about one hour to complete and provides long-lasting enhancement.

Lip Lift Recovery

Recovery from a lip lift is generally well-tolerated, with mild swelling and bruising expected for the first week. Patients should follow post-operative care instructions, including avoiding excessive lip movement and keeping the area clean. Most individuals can return to normal activities within a week, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.

“I love the results”

Dr. Daraei was initially recommended to me by a friend. I was particularly picky about who I wanted to do my rhinoplasty because I have ethnic features and I've also heard of people needing more expensive repeat procedures to fix their first rhinoplasty.
He has made the experience very smooth by being thorough, reassuring, and patient. I am about a year post op and I love the results, can't recommend him enough!

“Dr. Daraei is the best doctor”

If you're interested in rhinoplasty, Dr. Daraei is the best doctor to go to! I came to him with a deviated nose and severe breathing issues.
Now, only a month out of surgery, my breathing is amazing and my nose looks beautiful! I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Daraei and his work!!

“Absolutely no Judgment”

This was my first foray into the world of plastic surgery. While I try to keep myself in shape, the condition around my eyes made me look old and tired. Of course, I was nervous when I met with Dr. Daraei and his staff for the consultation. Everyone was very nice and there was absolutely no judgment projected toward me by any of the staff.
In fact, the entire staff and Dr. Daraei seemed genuinely enthusiastic about helping me feel better about my appearance.

“I never felt rushed”

During the consultation all my questions were answered and Dr.
Daraei suggested the tissue removal from my eyelids. He mentioned the slightly swollen look that I thought was a sinus condition. When he showed me how much of my eyelid was hidden, l was amazed. He then took the time to explain the procedures I might want and answered every question I had. At no time did he make me feel pressured or rushed or that he had somewhere else to go.

“Would do it Again!”

Dr. Paul Daraei performed blepharoplasty on both my eyes. He removed the very pronounced bags from under my eyes and removed tissue from my upper eyelids that made it look like I did not have eyebags, when my eyes were open. Let me say this is the best thing I have done for my appearance and would do it again!
