What Is Lip Lift?
A subnasal lip lift shortens the skin between the nose and upper lip. A bullhorn-shaped incision beneath the nose lifts the upper lip without adding filler.
Benefits of Lip Lift
- Shortening the skin distance between the nose and upper lip.
- Showing more of the pink upper lip.
- Changing lip position without adding filler volume.
Lip Lift Results in Dubai
Results
Results depend on the starting anatomy and healing response. Swelling and scars continue to change after the initial recovery; an early appearance is not the final result.
Your Lip Lift Procedure in Dubai
- Procedure type: Surgery
- Surgery duration: Usually around an hour, depending on the planned technique and whether other procedures are combined.
- Anaesthesia: Usually local anaesthesia, sometimes with light sedation. Combined surgery may require a different anaesthetic plan.
- Recovery: Non-dissolving stitches are often removed around 5–7 days. Initial healing and return to routine activities may take one to several weeks. Full healing, scar maturation and settling of swelling take longer; a final result should not be judged at the first-week review.
