Lip Lift
In DENVER
Lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by reshaping and lifting the upper lip. It is an effective solution for individuals who have a long or thin upper lip, lack lip definition, or desire a more youthful and balanced lip appearance.
As we age, the skin of the upper lip lengthens, and we lose volume of the red lip. The lip lift is designed to shorten the skin of the upper lip to a more youthful length, and evert the upper lip (thereby increasing its volume).
What is Lip Lift?
During a lip lift procedure, a small incision is made at the base of the nose, just above the upper lip. The excess skin between the nose and the upper lip is carefully removed to shorten the distance between the nose and the lip, resulting in a lifted and more prominent upper lip. The incision is then closed with sutures.
How does Lip Lift work?
The lip lift procedure works by addressing the specific concerns of the upper lip. By removing the excess skin and tightening the area, the distance between the nose and the lip is reduced, resulting in a more visible and youthful upper lip. The procedure helps to create a fuller and more defined lip contour, enhancing the overall facial harmony and aesthetic balance.

Procedure Timeline
CONSULTATION: During the initial consultation, you will discuss your goals and expectations with Dr. Okland. He will evaluate your facial features and determine if you are a suitable candidate for a lip lift.
PRE-OPERATIVE PREPARATION: If you decide to proceed with the lip lift, you will schedule a surgical date. Dr. Okland may provide pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications or fasting before the procedure.
SURGERY: The lip lift procedure is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. It usually takes about 1 hour to complete. Dr. Okland will make carefully placed incisions along the base of the nose or within the natural creases of the nostrils, depending on the chosen technique.
RECOVERY: After the surgery, you will be monitored for a short period before being allowed to go home. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during the initial recovery phase. You may be advised to avoid using straws and strenuous activities and follow specific post-operative care instructions.
HEALING AND RESULTS: The initial swelling and bruising will gradually subside over the following weeks. You will start to see the initial results of the lip lift as the incisions heal. It is important to note that full healing and final results may take several months, as the tissues continue to settle and refine.
POST-OPERATIVE APPOINTMENTS: Dr. Okland will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress, remove any sutures if necessary, and address any concerns or questions you may have during the recovery period.
