Lip Lift

A lip lift is a subtle but powerful procedure that rejuvenates the central face by enhancing lip definition and proportion. Whether you are looking to reverse age-related changes or refine the shape of your upper lip, this surgery offers permanent, elegant results with minimal downtime. If you are considering a lip lift and want to know whether you are a suitable candidate, we welcome you to book a consultation to explore your options.

Why Choose a Lip Lift?

As we age, the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip lengthens, causing the upper lip to appear flatter, longer, and less youthful. In other cases, patients may simply have a naturally long upper lip that conceals the upper teeth and lacks definition. A lip lift is a highly effective surgical solution to restore harmony, youthfulness, and improved balance to the central face—without the need for volume augmentation.

Patients often choose this procedure to:

Shorten a long upper lip.
Improve the visibility of upper teeth when smiling.
Enhance lip definition and shape.
Achieve a more youthful, lifted appearance.
Create better facial proportion and balance.
Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume but cannot lift, a lip lift offers a permanent structural
improvement by elevating the lip and exposing more of the red lip (vermillion).

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Downtime: Most patients can resume light daily activities within 2–3 days.
Swelling and bruising: Expected during the first week, and generally subsides within
7–10 days.
Stitches: Removed after 5–7 days.
Scarring: The incision usually fades over several weeks and can be further improved
with scar care protocols if needed.
Results: Immediate improvement in lip shape and visibility, with full refinement
visible once swelling has resolved.

Patients are advised to avoid excessive mouth movements, smoking, or strenuous activity during the first week. Makeup can usually be used to camouflage any residual redness once the incision has healed.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

The ideal candidates for a tummy tuck in London or anywhere in the UK are generally healthy individuals who have excess skin or fat around the abdomen, often due to significant weight loss or pregnancy. It’s also suitable for people who have weakened abdominal muscles that cannot be tightened with diet and exercise alone. If you’re a smoker or have certain medical conditions, you may need to address those before undergoing surgery.

What is the recovery time after a tummy tuck?

Recovery time after a tummy tuck UK can vary, but most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks and resume more strenuous exercise after about 6-8 weeks. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and you’ll be required to wear compression garments to help support your healing.

Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?

A tummy tuck London can improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located on the lower abdomen. However, stretch marks outside the area that is removed may remain. In some cases, additional treatments can help address stretch marks.

Does a tummy tuck leave a scar?

Yes, a tummy tuck UK does leave a scar. The length and placement of the scar will depend on the type of tummy tuck performed. The scar typically runs along the lower abdomen, hidden by most underwear or bikini bottoms. Over time, the scar fades but may never disappear completely.

Will a tummy tuck help with loose skin after weight loss?

Yes, one of the main benefits of a tummy tuck is its ability to address excess skin after weight loss. The procedure tightens and flattens the abdominal area, improving both the skin’s appearance and the underlying muscle tone.

Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck?

While pregnancy after a tummy tuck London is possible, it can affect the results of your surgery, as the abdominal muscles may stretch again. If you’re planning on having children, it might be best to wait until you’re done with your family before undergoing the procedure.

How long will the results of my tummy tuck last?

The results of your abdominoplasty UK can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. However, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and future pregnancies can impact the appearance of your abdomen.

Is tummy tuck surgery painful?

Like all surgeries, a tummy tuck UK involves some discomfort, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report that the pain is manageable, especially after the first few days post-surgery.
