Combining artistic vision with precise surgical skill, Dr. Zuliani is a double board-certified plastic surgeon dedicated to creating natural and harmonious results.

Introduction:

Enhance the Look of Your Lips

A lip lift is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by reducing the distance between the base of the nose and the lip itself. As we age, this area often lengthens, and the upper lip can lose fullness, which can make the face appear older or less balanced. By carefully elevating the upper lip, a lip lift restores youthful proportions, adds subtle natural volume, and improves the curvature and definition of the mouth.

Enhances the shape of a thin upper lip, performed in-office with minimal downtime

Unlike injectable fillers, which provide temporary enhancement, a lip lift offers a permanent improvement in lip shape and symmetry. This procedure can also enhance the smile by revealing more of the upper teeth, creating a brighter, more youthful overall appearance.

Dr. Zuliani’s focus on the individual is why patients trust him

He pays careful attention to each patient, taking the necessary time to assess the situation and ask questions during the consultation. Dr. Zuliani does not come up with a standardized treatment plan on the spot. Instead, he considers the best approach in each special situation, studies photos of the patient, designs a personalized plan, and only then presents his recommendations.

Dr. Zuliani also has a keen understanding of the differences among patients of different cultural backgrounds. He knows how to treat the face in a way that complements a patient’s individuality rather than changing it. His goal is to provide each of his patients with results that are in tune with his or her unique lifestyle, culture, and identity.

Who might benefit from a lip lift?

A lip lift can benefit men and women who wish to improve the proportion and shape of their upper lip. It is particularly suitable for individuals who have noticed that their upper lip has thinned, the distance between the nose and lip has increased, or the natural lip contour has diminished over time. 

Patients of all ages may consider this procedure, whether seeking subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change, depending on their facial structure and aesthetic goals. People looking for a permanent solution to restore lip volume without regular filler injections often find a lip lift to be an excellent option.

How is a lip lift performed?

A lip lift is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia, making it a safe and convenient outpatient procedure. Dr. Zuliani commonly uses the “bullhorn” technique, in which a small strip of skin is carefully removed from beneath the nose to lift the upper lip and create a natural, youthful curve. The procedure is precise and customized to each patient’s facial anatomy to ensure balanced results.

Dissolvable inner sutures are placed to support the underlying tissue, while outer sutures are usually removed within a week. The incision is discreetly hidden at the base of the nose, leaving a subtle scar that is virtually undetectable once fully healed.

What can be expected after a lip lift?

Recovery from a lip lift is generally quick and manageable. Swelling and mild tenderness in the upper lip typically last 3–5 days, and most patients are able to resume normal activities within this timeframe. The incision heals along the natural crease under the nose, making it virtually invisible, and the lifted lip gradually settles into its final, rejuvenated position over several weeks. 

Patients can expect a refreshed and youthful appearance, with enhanced lip definition and a more balanced smile that complements their overall facial features.

Why should I consider a lip lift?

A lip lift provides a lasting solution for enhancing the upper lip without the need for repeated filler injections. Performed safely in the office, it restores volume and youthful proportions to the mouth while preserving a natural appearance.
