Reveal your perfect smile - lip lift in Dubai

If your smile hides behind a long upper lip, a simple lift can change everything. A lip lift in Dubai is a cosmetic procedure that enhances your lip shape and position. It offers a permanent result by reducing the distance between nose and upper lip, resulting in a fuller, lifted appearance.

Lip lift is ideal for those seeking subtle enhancements or age-related lengthening of the upper lips. At CosmeSurge, lip lift surgery in Dubai and Abu Dhabi offers permanent and natural results that combine precision and surgical expertise. 

Our board-certified plastic surgeons tailor treatments to your facial anatomy, achieving results that look natural, balanced, and beautiful.

What is a lip lift

A lip lift is a common cosmetic surgery that elevates the upper lip to create a more defined, youthful, and attractive appearance of the mouth. It enhances the pink area (vermilion) of the lip and reduces the length of skin between the nose and upper lip (philtrum).

There are different types of lip lift techniques, including:

  • Bullhorn Lip Lift: The most common type, where a small strip of skin under the nose is removed in a bullhorn-like shape to lift the center of the lip. The Bullhorn lip lift in Dubai is renowned for achieving a naturally elevated and balanced upper lip.
  • Corner Lip Lift: The procedure focuses on lifting the mouth corners to achieve a naturally smiling appearance. Patients seeking to rejuvenate the edges of their lips subtly may benefit from a corner lip lift in Dubai.
  • Upper Lip Lift: Targets the entire upper lip for a more open and refreshed appearance.At CosmeSurge, we offer an upper lip lift in Dubai to help patients achieve symmetry and a more youthful appearance.
Who is a good candidate

You may be a good candidate for a lip lift in Dubai if you:

  • Feel your upper lip looks too long or covers your teeth when you smile.
  • Want a more permanent alternative to lip fillers.
  • Desire better lip definition without added volume.
  • Have sagging corners of the mouth due to aging.
  • Individuals who have realistic expectations.
  • In good health condition for the procedure.

The procedure is ideal for both younger individuals seeking aesthetic enhancement or older patients wanting facial rejuvenation. A personalized consultation assesses the facial proportions.

You’re not an ideal candidate,

  • If you’re an active smoker
  • An individual with certain medical conditions affecting healing.
Benefits of lip lift surgery

A lip lift offers several aesthetic and emotional benefits, including:

  • Permanent results – Ensure permanent results rather than fillers that require frequent maintenance.
  • Tooth Exposure – Provides upper teeth exposure, contributing to an attractive and youthful smile.
  • Well-defined upper lip – Increase the visible pink portion of the upper lip to make it fuller and more defined.
  • Balanced proportions – Reduce the distance between the lip and nose to prevent the signs of aging.
  • Natural Results – The results are natural and subtle, avoiding an overfilled appearance.

Patients often report feeling more confident and satisfied with their natural beauty after the procedure.

Lip lift procedure: how it’s done

A lip lift surgery is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes around 45–60 minutes.

Step-by-step overview:

  1. Consultation: Your surgeon evaluates your facial features and discusses the best technique for your goals.
  2. Marking and Anesthesia: The incision line is carefully marked under the nose, and anesthesia is administered.
  3. Skin Removal: In this step, a small skin strip is removed from beneath the nose.
  4. Lifting and Suturing: The upper lip is gently lifted, and the incision is closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
  5. Healing: The scar is discreetly hidden in the natural crease under the nose.

Techniques may vary, such as using a bullhorn for central lift and a corner lip lift for lateral support. 

However, our experts utilize advanced methods to achieve undetectable scars. The result is a naturally lifted upper lip with improved contour and symmetry.

Recovery & aftercare

Recovery after a lip lift in Dubai and Abu Dhabi is quick; however, it’s ideal to adhere to the surgeon’s advice for optimal results.

Post-operative care tips:

  • Temporary swelling and bruising are normal. Mostly, it subsides within a week.
  • Stitches are usually removed after 5–7 days.
  • Avoid strenuous physical activities and direct sunlight for at least 10 days.
  • Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon.

Most patients resume their work or routine activities within a very few days. The final results are visible within 4–6 weeks as the tissues settle and the scar fades naturally.

Long-term tips for long-lasting results

  • Avoid over-stretching of lips for the initial two weeks (e.g., warning, laughing, etc.)
  • Refrain from heavy exercise and weightlifting.
  • Protect the incision site from sun exposure.
