Lip Lift
Lip Lift at True
A lip lift is a surgical procedure aimed at shortening the space between the nose and upper lip, creating a fuller and taller upper lip. This procedure is ideal for those with a long philtrum, thin lips, or minimal upper tooth show. At True Aesthetics, we use precise techniques to enhance lip symmetry and achieve a natural, youthful appearance with a lip lift.
The process
01. Personalized Consultation
The lip lift process begins with a thorough consultation with one of our talented surgeons at our Edmonton clinic to understand your goals and assess your facial structure. Our surgeons will discuss the procedure and develop a personalized plan to achieve the desired contour and definition for your face.
02. Preparing for Surgery
Preparation for your lip lift includes detailed pre-surgery instructions, dietary guidelines, and potentially necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a safe and successful surgical experience.
03. The Lip Lift Procedure
During the procedure, you may be given anti-anxiety medication to help you relax. Local anesthesia is injected in and around the upper lip. The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures, ensuring no visible scarring.
04. Recovery & After Care
After the surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. Patients are advised to avoid interfering with the sutures and to follow a liquid or soft diet for a few days. Dr. Song may prescribe a mouth rinse to reduce the risk of infection. Swelling will subside over several weeks, revealing a lifted, youthful shape in the upper lip area.
