Surgical Lip Lift

A surgical lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip (the philtrum), revealing more of the upper lip's vermilion border. This creates a more youthful, defined lip shape with permanent results. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately one hour. The incision is carefully placed at the base of the nose where it heals inconspicuously.

Corner Lip Lift

A corner lip lift addresses downturned corners of the mouth that can create a tired or unhappy resting expression. Small incisions at the corners of the mouth gently elevate the commissures, restoring a neutral or slightly upturned position. This subtle procedure can significantly improve facial expression at rest.

Fat Transfer to Lips

Fat transfer uses your own purified fat to add natural volume to the lips. Fat is harvested from another area of the body, processed, and carefully injected into the lips for soft, natural-feeling augmentation. Results are long-lasting and avoid the need for repeated filler treatments.

Combined Lip & Facial Rejuvenation

Lip augmentation is frequently combined with other facial cosmetic procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation. Common combinations include lip lift with rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, or face and neck lift surgery. Dr. Sloan will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your overall facial balance and aesthetic goals.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Sloan will evaluate your lip anatomy, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate approach. He will explain each option in detail, including expected outcomes, recovery timeline, and any risks, so you can make a fully informed decision.

Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days. Swelling peaks in the first 2-3 days and gradually resolves over 2-3 weeks. The scar at the base of the nose fades significantly over several months and is typically very well concealed.
Yes. Dr. Sloan's approach prioritizes natural, proportionate results. The goal is to enhance your natural lip shape and restore youthful proportions — not to create an overdone appearance.
Absolutely. A lip lift is commonly combined with rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, or other facial cosmetic procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time.
Good candidates include patients with a long upper lip (philtrum), thin lips, age-related volume loss, or those seeking permanent enhancement beyond what fillers can achieve. A consultation with Dr. Sloan will determine the best approach for your anatomy and goals.
