A Customized Lip Lift for a Permanent Pout

A lip lift procedure raises the skin between the nose and the upper lip (the philtrum), resulting in a fuller, softer look. The shorter the philtrum becomes, the more the top lip is rolled out, making it appear fuller and “poutier”.

Each procedure will be tailored to the patient’s specific aesthetic goals. As a lip lift is a surgery, the results are permanent. There will be no need to return every several months, as you do with lip fillers. If you’re in the Westlake Village or Thousand Oaks area and you’re interested in a lip lift, Dr. Tansavatdi can help.

How Much Does a Lip Lift Cost in Thousand Oaks?

According to RealSelf, the average cost of lip lift surgery is $3,450. Lip lift prices can range up to $6,500, depending on a few key factors. Adding a corner lip lift with an upper lip lift will be more expensive.

  • Some examples of what may influence the cost of your lip lift include the following:
  • Anesthesia fees
  • Which surgical technique Dr. Tansavatdi uses
  • Surgical facility costs

What Is Lip Lift VS Lip Augmentation?

Your Private Consultation

During your consultation with Dr. Tansavatdi, she will recommend a surgical approach tailored to your unique needs and features. She may also recommend combining a lip lift with lip augmentation for a more natural definition. The surgical technique she chooses will determine the final cost quoted to you.

Ultimately, cost should not be the only factor in your decision to choose one surgeon over another, and you should take into consideration the surgeon’s experience and your comfort level with that surgeon. Dr. Tansavatdi has placed years of focus on the face and neck, which uniquely distinguishes her from other plastic surgeons.

Recovery From Lip Lift Surgery

A lip lift surgery is more invasive than lip fillers. Therefore, it requires a more of a recovery period, and it’s incredibly important to follow Dr. Tansavatdi’s post-op instructions carefully for the smoothest recovery.

Patients may experience a tight or swollen feeling around their mouth, but after a few days to a week, these should subside, and all swelling should go away completely within four weeks.

Some patients also notice redness or bruising at the surgical site. Final results from a lip lift surgery are apparent around six weeks after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions Lip Lift

Will I have a visible scar after a lip lift?

Your lip lift incision will be placed in the natural crease just beneath your nose, where it will heal discreetly and be typically imperceptible once fully resolved. Dr. Tansavatdi's meticulous closure technique is designed to minimize any visible evidence of surgery.

What type of anesthesia is used for a lip lift?

A lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Tansavatdi will discuss the most appropriate option for your comfort and your customized surgical plan during your consultation.

How is a lip lift different from a lip flip?

A lip flip uses a small amount of wrinkle reducer injected into the upper lip muscle to create a subtle outward roll. A lip lift is a surgical procedure with permanent results that structurally reshapes the philtrum for more significant, lasting improvement.

At what age is a lip lift most appropriate?

A lip lift is suitable for adults of all ages. It's particularly beneficial for women who have noticed the philtrum lengthening with age, causing the upper lip to lose its definition and fullness. Dr. Tansavatdi will assess your candidacy during your private consultation.

Will a lip lift affect the appearance of my nose?

When performed with Dr. Tansavatdi's precise technique, a lip lift does not negatively affect the appearance of the nose. Dr. Tansavatdi's deep understanding of the relationship between the nose and upper lip ensures that your result enhances the lip without altering the nasal base.
