Improve Your Smile and Add Subtle Fullness to Your Lips with a Lip Lift for Men in Atlanta.
Lip enhancing procedures aren’t exclusive to women. In fact, the number of men choosing a lip lift has been growing in recent years. After all, who doesn’t want a pleasing contour to their lips and an improved smile? At Atlanta Face & Body, Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker’s lip lift for men has helped many male patients achieve desired results and live more confidently with a smile they can be proud of. So, if you’re self-conscious about your teeth not being exposed enough when you smile, your upper lip being thin due to genetics or age, or the corners of your mouth turning downward, then the lip lift may be great option to consider.
Am I a candidate for a lip lift?
For men who desire a more balanced look for their lips to match their other features, a more vibrant smile with better showing of teeth, or to reverse the signs of aging on the lips, a lip lift for men may be a good option to consider. Whatever your reasoning to elect this procedure, we will thoroughly explain all the details during your private consultation and help you decide if it’s the best approach to reach your goals. Dr. Elizabeth understands that some male patients may feel apprehensive about undergoing cosmetic surgery of this nature, so she makes sure to individualize and normalize the procedure so you feel as comfortable as possible.
Before & After: Lip Lift for Men
How is a lip lift for men performed?
A lip lift for men works by essentially shortening the space between your upper lip and the bottom of your nose. This increases the red part of your lip (the vermillion) to achieve a better appearance. Dr. Elizabeth will make a small incision just under the nose and remove a small strip of skin matching the natural curve of your upper lip. She’ll then gently raise the lip to a slightly higher position and carefully suture the incisions in such a way that any scarring is easily concealed once complete healing has taken place. If the corners of your mouth are downturned, additional incisions at the sides of your mouth may be needed to lift them into better position. Dr. Elizabeth uses a precision technique that helps make any resulting scars difficult to detect.
What recovery time is needed after a lip lift procedure?
You’ll likely experience soreness and swelling for a few days following your lip lift procedure. The swelling may be somewhat excessive at first, but that’s completely normal and usually not a cause for concern. It’s best for healing if you restrict any unnecessary physical activity for at least the first few days after your surgery. Avoid exercise or anything strenuous for about two weeks. You’ll be given detailed instructions for your post-op care to ensure your recovery process is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

How long before I notice results from lip lift surgery?
Initial healing generally takes about two to three weeks for most swelling to subside. Optimal results become apparent in about two to three months for most patients. Scarring continues to improve with time and become less and less noticeable. The results of a lip lift are typically permanent, but your lips will continue to mature over time with the natural aging process.
