Which lip treatment is right for you?

Some people who ask for filler actually have a long upper lip. Adding volume does not fix that, and can make the lip look heavy. That's why we look at your photos before recommending anything.

Your surgeon

Your treatment is performed by a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. You can find your surgeon's profile, qualifications and experience on the Our Doctors page.

You'll speak with your surgeon in your online consultation, before anything is booked.

Lip lift

As we age, the upper lip lengthens and thins. Less of the red part of the lip shows, and the upper teeth become hidden when the mouth is relaxed. Some people also have a naturally long upper lip.

A lip lift removes a small strip of skin just below the nose. This shortens the upper lip, turns more of the pink lip outwards and shows a little more of the upper teeth. The result is long-lasting and can look very natural, because no volume is added.

Anaesthesia: local anaesthetic, with sedation if you prefer.

Duration: about 45 to 60 minutes.

Incision: along the base of the nose, where the nose meets the lip, so the scar follows a natural line.

Stitches: removed around day 5 to 7.

About the scar: every lip lift leaves a scar. It is placed in the crease under the nose and usually fades to a fine line over several months. It is pink at first and can be covered with make-up once healed. How well it fades depends partly on your skin. Your surgeon will look at your skin type and tell you honestly what to expect.

Lip filler

Lip filler adds volume and definition with hyaluronic acid gel. It suits thin lips, lips that have lost volume with age, or small asymmetries. It is done by a doctor in about 30 minutes, with numbing cream.

The aim is lips that suit your face, not an overfilled look. Results usually last around 6 to 12 months, and the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. Read more about how filler treatment works on our jawline filler page.

Lip reduction

Some people have lips that are naturally fuller than they'd like. In a lip reduction, a strip of tissue is removed from the inside of the lip, so the scar is not visible. The lip becomes thinner while keeping its natural shape.

A lip lift and lip reduction are permanent, so planning matters. Your surgeon will discuss with you exactly how much change is right.

Lip treatments alongside other procedures

With rhinoplasty: the nose and upper lip meet at the base of the nose, so they affect each other. Depending on your anatomy, your surgeon may do both together or recommend a lip lift once the nose has healed.

With a facelift or mini facelift: a long upper lip is part of facial ageing. A lip lift can complete the result of a lift.

With jawline filler: treating the lips and chin together keeps the lower face in proportion.

Recovery: what to expect

After a lip lift or lip reduction:

Days 1–3: swelling and tightness. The lip may look too short or too full at first.

Week 1: stitches out, swelling reducing. Eating and smiling feel easier.

Weeks 2–4: most people are comfortable in public. The lip settles into its natural position.

Months 3–6: the scar continues to fade.

After lip filler: swelling and possible bruising for a few days. The final result is visible after about two weeks.

Risks you should know about

Lip lift and lip reduction:

Visible scarring: usually fades well, but healing varies with skin type.

Over-correction: a lip shortened too much can look unnatural or show too much of the teeth. Careful measurement reduces this risk.

Asymmetry: the two sides can settle slightly differently.

Temporary numbness or stiffness of the lip while it heals.

Lip filler:

Common: swelling, bruising and tenderness for a few days.

Lumps or unevenness: usually improve with time or can be corrected.

Blocked blood vessel: rare but serious. The lips have a rich blood supply, which is why lip filler should always be done by a doctor who can recognise and treat this immediately.

If you've had cold sores, tell us before treatment, as filler and lip surgery can trigger an outbreak.

Will people notice I've had a lip lift?

The aim is a natural-looking lip. The goal is that people notice you look fresher, not that your lips have changed. The scar is the part that needs time, and it usually fades over several months.

Is a lip lift better than filler?

They do different things. A lip lift shortens a long upper lip; filler adds volume. Some patients need one, some both. Your surgeon will tell you which suits you.

Can I have filler after a lip lift?

Yes, once you've fully healed, if you'd like more volume.

When can I eat normally?

Soft food is recommended for the first few days after surgery. Most people eat normally within a week.

Can I fly after a lip lift?

Yes, after your stitches are removed, usually around day 7.

Can someone come with me?

Yes, and we recommend it. Your companion can stay with you at the hotel.
