Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure in Gahanna

At Smith Facial Plastics, the lip lift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to enhance lip aesthetics for patients in the Gahanna area. This advanced technique provides a more permanent solution compared to temporary lip augmentation methods.

What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift is a precise cosmetic surgical procedure that tailors the upper lip's shape to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The surgery involves lifting the upper lip to reveal more of the lip's pink tissue and create a more youthful, rejuvenated look.

Procedure Benefits

• Achieves fuller-looking lips
• Creates a more youthful lip appearance
• Increases self-confidence in your smile
• Exposes top teeth when mouth is relaxed

Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift

• Patients experiencing increased space between lip and nose with age
• Individuals seeking a more long-lasting alternative to lip fillers
• Those desiring enhanced lip volume and definition

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Stephen Smith performs the lip lift in the Gahanna office, typically taking approximately one hour. The procedure involves removing a small horizontal section beneath the nose, shortening the distance between lips and nose, and turning the upper lip slightly outward to reveal more of the inner pink lip structure.

Recovery Process

Patients can expect stitches to be removed about one week post-surgery. Minor discomfort may persist for approximately 72 hours, managed with prescribed medication. Most patients take 3-5 days off work, with temporary swelling and tightness being normal parts of the healing process.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

While lip augmentation using fillers offers a non-surgical option, the surgical lip lift provides more natural, long-lasting results. During consultation, the surgeons will discuss individual options and recommendations.

Procedure Pricing

Lip lift costs in Gahanna vary based on individual factors. A comprehensive consultation with the surgeons will provide personalized recommendations and transparent pricing information.
