What is a Lip Lift?

A lip lift shortens the stretch of skin between the upper lip and the base of the nose, gently elevating the upper lip to enhance volume, shape, and femininity. The upper lip often becomes elongated and droops as a result of the natural aging process. A lip lift in Melbourne can rejuvenate your smile without the use of fillers or implants. It increases fullness and allows for a greater portion of the pink area and the teeth to show. Dr. Ibrahim insists on subtle, elegant changes uniquely tailored to your goals.

What is the First Step?

Your treatment journey starts with a straightforward consultation and physical evaluation with Dr. Ibrahim in Melbourne. This first visit is dedicated to answering all your questions in depth, discussing your goals for your appearance, and reviewing your medical history to ensure a lip lift is safe and effective for you. The doctor will also review what you can expect in terms of risks, benefits, recovery, results, and pricing for a lip lift. Once your treatment date has been scheduled, Dr. Ibrahim will provide you with a list of preparation instructions to follow. This will help you make the most of your session.

What to Expect on the Day of Lip Lift Surgery

You will be placed in one of our comfortable treatment rooms when you arrive for your lip lift in Melbourne, FL. We will administer local anesthesia to numb your lips so that you feel no discomfort during your session. Once you are ready, Dr. Ibrahim will make a small incision at the top of the philtrum or within the natural border of the upper lip. He takes great pains to ensure that scarring is completely unnoticeable after you heal.

The upper lift is then gently elevated, exposing more of its pink color along with the teeth. Dr. Ibrahim utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to ensure a balanced, symmetrical, and natural-looking outcome. Your incisions are then closed with fine sutures, and you are carefully monitored until you are ready to go home. A lip lift typically takes one hour to complete.

Lip Lift Recovery

Dr. Ibrahim will monitor you until you can safely return home. After your surgery, you can expect minor swelling, bruising, and soreness in the upper lip area. However, these side effects typically disappear within the first week. While there are a few restrictions to follow after your Melbourne lip lift, Dr. Ibrahim recommends avoiding strenuous exercise for several weeks and adhering to his guidelines for eating, drinking, and pursing your lips. If any concerns arise during your recovery, please contact the doctor and his team for an immediate response.
