If you’re in pursuit of plumper lips and find yourself exhausted by various plumping products and lip fillers without achieving the desired results, there’s still hope. Beyond the realm of products and fillers, there exists another sought-after procedure: the lip lift!<\/p>\n
The lip lift, a swift surgical intervention, targets the distance between the nose and the upper lip, known as the “philtrum.” This procedure proves beneficial for individuals seeking increased lip height or a reduced gap between the nose and lips, creating an overall fuller appearance. By shortening the distance between the nose and the top lip, the redness of the lip extends outward, enhancing the fullness and prominence of the lips. Additionally, it elevates the visibility of your upper central teeth when your lips are at rest.<\/p>\n
The philtrum naturally lengthens over time due to reduced collagen production, a facet of the ageing process. As the philtrum elongates, the upper lip tends to invert, resulting in a thinner look. Traditionally performed on older patients, often during facelifts, lip lifts have undergone modifications to cater to the preferences of younger patients, boasting less conspicuous scars and quicker recovery times. For those desiring fuller lips without opting for lip fillers, the lip lift stands out as an ideal choice.<\/p>\n
Conducted under local anaesthesia and typically lasting under an hour, the lip lift procedure enhances the structure of the upper lip, providing a more nuanced shape. Once anesthetised, your surgeon trims the space beneath your nose by excising a bullhorn-shaped strip of skin just below your nostrils. This elevation of the lip edges results in a more pronounced appearance and a sharpened Cupid’s bow. Patients seeking both improved shape and increased lip volume can choose to incorporate filler injections into their procedure.

With local anaesthesia ensuring a smooth recovery, prescription pain medication is seldom necessary. Ice and over-the-counter pain relievers are typically sufficient. Some patients may experience a slight pulling sensation in the area during the initial 3 days to 2 weeks of recovery. Stitches are removed after a week, and any lingering redness can be concealed with a concealer.<\/p>\n
Elevate your results and accentuate your perfect pout by adding a syringe of lip filler to your lip lift procedure. Approved gel-like fillers, containing hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the human body that diminishes with age, can be applied to eliminate unwanted wrinkles and enhance overall facial aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid hydrates and rejuvenates the skin, offering a more youthful and beautiful appearance, with results lasting up to 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
A lip lift is ideal for individuals who desire permanently fuller lips or whose distance between the nose and upper lip (the philtrum) is naturally long or has lengthened due to the ageing process. It is a great alternative if fillers no longer provide the desired result or if the upper lip tends to invert.<\/p>\n
The incision is carefully placed within the natural crease directly beneath the nostrils (in the shape of a bullhorn). Due to this strategic positioning, the fine scar becomes extremely inconspicuous after full healing and is generally not noticeable to others in daily life.<\/p>\n
A lip lift is a permanent surgical procedure that physically elevates the upper lip, making more of the pink lip tissue visible. Hyaluronic acid fillers, on the other hand, are injected to add volume and are naturally broken down by the body after about 6 to 12 months. Both methods can be combined for optimal results.<\/p>\n
The procedure is performed gently under local anaesthesia, ensuring the area is completely numb. Most patients only feel a slight pulling sensation during the first few days of recovery. Post-operative discomfort is typically well-managed with ice and standard over-the-counter pain relievers.<\/p>\n
Stitches are typically removed one week after the procedure during a follow-up appointment at our practice in Zurich. The removal process is quick and generally painless.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":2039,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"Bullhorn Lip Lift | COSMETIC SURGERY ZURICH | Aesthetic Surgery | Zurich - Switzerland","_seopress_titles_desc":"If you're in pursuit of plumper lips and find yourself exhausted by various plumping products and lip fillers without achieving the desired results, there's still hope.
