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. The goal of the procedure is to create a fuller and more youthful appearance of the upper lip. Some patients undergo a corner lip lift at the same time to correct a downturned corner of the mouth.
What are the benefits of a lip lift?
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.
How is the Procedure Performed?
A lip lift is performed with the patient awake or under twlight anesthesia. The skin is completely numbed so the patient does not experience any discomfort. A small incision is made at the base of the nose and a small strip of skin is removed 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.
Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Petroff and everyone I met at the Petroff center! I had wanted a rhinoplasty for years and Dr. Petroff explained the whole process to me and listened to what I was hoping to get out of it. I felt completely informed and supported the entire time. Pre and post surgery I felt safe and taken care of. They also checked up on me constantly after surgery and made sure I was doing well. I am so happy with how my nose turned out and forever thankful to Dr. Petroff and his team!
I have received care from Dr. Petroff at the Petroff Center (facial surgery) and Melissa at Premier (laser skin treatments at the medi-spa side of the center). My experiences exceeded all expectations, and as someone who has seen many healthcare providers, the attention to detail and level of care provided at the Petroff Center is unmatched. The entire team is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, and so quick to respond to questions. Dr. Petroff was thoughtful and open during our initial meeting and consultation, and helped me understand what realistic expectations could look like. He is highly skilled, and the results of my surgery were above and beyond what I expected. For me, the care I’ve received at the Petroff Center/Premier has been life-changing, and while I always hope that internal beauty and character trumps the importance of physical appearance, most of us do care deeply about how we look. Dr. Petroff and his team were able to make incredible changes to my two primary sources of insecurity (a core facial feature and skin-related challenges) and they are now two of my favorite things about my appearance. This has exponentially increased my quality of life. The Petroff Center is truly a world-class practice, with an incredible and skilled team of professionals, beautiful and impeccably maintained offices and facilities, and the best care and service. They think of every detail and make themselves fully available for questions and concerns. I would recommend the Petroff Center to anyone seeking support of the types they offer. They’re wonderful!
Always a welcome place and the best. Love coming to the Petroff center Yes, always welcome
My first encounter with Petroff Center was in 2011. As Mother of the Bride I wanted to look my best. Fast forward to 2024, I desired to have my face and neck improved for a more youthful appearance. Dr Petroff and staff provide a “First Class Experience.” I am a OR RN of 20 + years and most important to me was having the best surgeon and staff in an accredited surgery center. Dr Petroff is a gifted and talented world class surgeon. Patients are fortunate to have him practice here in the Pacific NW. Dr Petroff is humble in manner and good listener to his patients and their expectations. Staff from anesthesia, nurses and office are outstanding and the entire experience is well orchestrated and executed. For the best experience in achieving your desired expectations,I highly recommend Petroff Center!
Laser hair removal- My experience with Kasey was great. She is so nice and professional. It is a very clean and friendly environment. I have tried laser hair removal at a different esthetics spa and after 1 treatment at Petroff it was already so much more effective than the other spa. Highly recommend laser hair removal at Petroff with Kasey!

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT CAN PATIENTS EXPECT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
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.
