Benefits of a Lip Lift in Los Angeles
Fuller Lips
A lip lift can make your upper lip and mouth appear fuller and more voluptuous.
Bigger Smile
Because the upper lip is lifted, we’ll be able to see more of your upper teeth for a fuller, more radiant smile.
Boost Confidence
Feel happier with your mouth and your smile when you get the beautiful lips you’ve always dreamed of.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for your lips, and your medical history. If your provider determines that a lip lift is the appropriate procedure, your surgery can be scheduled, and you’ll be filled in on the pre-surgery preparation details.
Procedure
To begin, you’ll be given an anesthetic to numb the area, giving you maximum comfort during the surgery. The anesthetic could be topical, local, or a combination of the two.
After your lips are numbed, your Younique surgeon will clean the area. Then, they’ll make a small incision from the outside edge of one nostril to the other.
To achieve the “lift” effect, the surgeon will cut the skin to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This effectively pulls the lip upward. When the right aesthetic change has been achieved, they’ll use suture the area.
Recovery
You’ll probably notice swelling and bruising around the lips for at least 2 to 4 weeks after your operation. Any visible scarring is temporary and will disappear after 3 to 4 months.

Who makes a good candidate for a lip lift?
Just about anyone is a good candidate for a lip lift. If you want fuller-looking lips for a youthful and sensual appeal, you’d like your lips to be more prominent for feature balance, or you want to lessen the effects of aging, a lip lift is a great choice.
However, we don’t recommend a lip lift in Los Angeles for people who are heavy smokers or don’t have a lot of skin between their lip and their nose. If this is the case, your Younique provider can recommend alternatives that can help you achieve your aesthetic goal, some of which may not even require surgery!
What should I expect during recovery from a lip lift surgery?
It is normal to experience some swelling and redness under your nose and around your upper lip immediately following your surgery. Some people will experience redness for a prolonged period (especially if you have oily skin), but it often can be masked by light makeup.
Most patients report returning to normal activities within 10 days of the procedure. After the healing is complete, the final results are expected to be permanent.
