Restore and Accentuate
What is a lip lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the upper lip. It shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, creating a more youthful and attractive smile. Dr. Locketz offers two main types of lip lifts:
Modified Lip Lift: Meticulous reshaping of the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin below the nose, lifting the entire upper lip.
Corner Lip Lift: Enhances the mouth's outer corners for a more upturned appearance.
Lip lifts address age-related changes that fillers can't fix, such as a lengthened upper lip or inward lip roll. The procedure restores balance to your facial features and rejuvenates your overall look.
Expert Care for Stunning Results
What is the lip lift procedure like?
A Lip Lift is an excellent procedure to rejuvenate the upper lip in ways that fillers cannot. As we age, the distance between the nose and the upper lip elongates, and the upper lip rolls inward. This often leads to an aged appearance and loss of sensuality to the mouth and lips.
Details:
- Performed in office under local anesthesia or in the operating room in conjunction with other surgery under sedation/general anesthesia.
- Social Downtime: 7-10 days
- Permanent result

Flip The Upper Lip
What areas of the body can a lip lift address?
A lip lift focuses solely on the upper lip and surrounding area, creating harmony with your other facial features.
Elevate Your Expressions
Am I a candidate for a lip lift?
A lip lift can be an excellent option for individuals who:
- Desire a fuller appearance to their upper lip, often referred to as a "cupid's bow."
- Experience a thin upper lip due to aging or genetics.
- Have minimal vertical lines above their upper lip ("smoker's lines").
- Want a more youthful appearance around the mouth?
- You are in good overall health with realistic expectations.
Who may not be a good candidate for a lip lift?
While a lip lift can offer significant benefits, it may not be ideal for everyone. Here are some considerations:
- Individuals with very thin lips overall, as the procedure focuses on enhancing the upper lip, not adding volume.
- Those with significant wrinkles or sun damage around the mouth, a lip lift may not fully address these concerns.
- People with unrealistic expectations about the dramatic effects of the procedure.
A Smooth Path to Beautiful Results
Lip Lift Recovery
Recovery from a lip lift is typically quick:
- Expect some swelling and bruising for 7-10 days
- Take prescribed pain medication as needed
- Avoid strenuous activities for 1-2 weeks
- Follow Dr. Locketz's detailed aftercare instructions
- Return for follow-up appointments to monitor healing
Long-Lasting Enhancement
You'll notice immediate changes after your Denver lip lift procedure, with final results visible once the swelling subsides (about 2-3 weeks). The effects of a lip lift are permanent, providing long-lasting facial rejuvenation. Dr. Garrett Locketz ensures your results look natural and harmonious with your overall appearance.
