What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appearance and shape of the upper lip. Some patients undergo a corner lip lift at the same time to correct downturned lips. At Petroff Center Plastic Surgery & Medi-Spa, Dr. Mark A. Petroff performs custom-tailored lip enhancement surgeries with a focus on creating natural-looking fullness and improving overall facial harmony. If you're unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of your lips, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our Lake Oswego, OR practice to discuss the possibilities you can achieve with lip lift surgery.
How is A Lip Lift Performed?
A lip lift is performed with the patient awake or under "twilight" anesthesia. The skin is completely numbed so the patient does not experience any discomfort. Dr. Petroff will start by making a small incision at the base of the nose before removing a small strip of skin to lift the lip to a higher position. The incision is camoflauged in the natural folds of the base of the nose and is virtually invisible once it has healed.
What to Expect After Lip Surgery
The results of lip enhancement surgery tend to be subtle but striking. Shortly after your surgery, you may experience slight pain, bruising, or swelling around your lips for up to two weeks, as this tends to be a delicate area. As the treatment site heals, you should notice remarkable results. Before you leave, Dr. Petroff or another member of our team will discuss what you can expect as you heal and how to ensure a smoother recovery process after your lip lift.
What are the benefits of Cosmetic Lip Surgery?
1) Improved Lip Shape: The procedure increases the visibility of the pink part of the lip, which makes the lips fuller and more defined, without the use of fillers.
2) Create a More Youthful Appearance: A lip lift restores a more youthful appearance by shortening the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, which lengthens with age.
3) Enhanced Smile: The procedure can improve the visibility of the upper teeth when smiling, which creates a more youthful and attractive smile.
4) Permanent Results: Unlike fillers or the Botox lip flip, a lip lift provides permanent improvements.
5) Natural: A well-performed lip lift creates natural-looking results and uses the patient's own anatomy rather than adding foreign substances to the body.
Lip Lift Reviews
I have been a client / patient here for a few years. First for non-invasive procedures, then for a lower face lift, neck lift & lip lift.. I researched several surgeons, several times until I finally decided on Dr Petroff. He helped me assess what I wanted & guided me on what to expect. On the day of my surgery, Dr Petroff & his surgical staff ensured I was comfortable & helped calm my pre-op anxiety. I'm 6 months postop & very happy with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Can Patients Expect After Lip Enhancement Surgery?
After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and bruising of the lips. Patients typically experience very little pain after the procedure. Healing typically takes about 1-2 weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities.
What is a Corner Lip Lift?
A corner lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve downturned corners of the mouth, which can lead to a sad or angry appearance. A corner lip lift can be performed at the same time that the rest of the lip is lifted.
What is the Difference Between a Lip Lift and a Botox Lip Flip?
A lip lift is a minor surgical procedure which leads to permanent improvements in lip shape and fullness. A lip flip uses botox to allow the center pink portion of the upper lip to roll upwards and create a subtle improvement in lip fullness. A botox lip flip must be repeated about every 3 months to maintain its results.
