Are you unhappy with the thin or drooping appearance of your upper lip? At British Face Clinic, we understand how frustrating it can be when your lips don’t reflect your natural beauty. A Lip Lift in London, Milton Keynes and Northampton provides a subtle, long-lasting solution to enhance the volume and shape of your lips, giving you a more defined and youthful appearance.
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the upper lip and the base of the nose, enhancing the appearance of the lips by increasing their natural volume. This permanent enhancement is achieved by repositioning the upper lip to create a fuller, more youthful look without the need for repeat treatments such as lip fillers. The lip lift surgery can refine lip shape, improve facial balance and enhance overall symmetry.

What are the Different Types of Lip Lifts?
There are several types of lip lift procedures, each tailored to address specific concerns and desired outcomes:
- Direct Lip Lift: Removes a strip of skin directly above the lip to lift and enhance the upper lip.
- Central Lip Lift: Focuses on shortening the philtrum (the space between the nose and upper lip) to reveal more of the upper lip.
- Corner Lip Lift: Elevates the corners of the mouth, ideal for those with downturned lips.
- Italian Lip Lift: Involves two small incisions at each nostril, providing a subtle yet effective lift.
What are the Benefits of a Lip Lift?
A lip lift offers numerous aesthetic benefits, including:
- Permanent enhancement of lip volume and shape
- A more youthful and balanced facial appearance
- Enhanced definition of the upper lip without the need for dermal fillers
- Increased visibility of the natural pink portion of the lips
- A more defined lip contour, improving the overall lip shape

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a lip lift procedure different from lip fillers?

Unlike fillers, a lip lift enhances the natural shape of your upper lip without requiring regular maintenance treatments.
Is a lip lift suitable for those with thin lips?
Yes, a lip lift is particularly effective for those with thin lips or a thin upper lip. The procedure helps create a fuller, more defined appearance by lifting the upper lip, providing a natural and long-lasting result.
What is a subnasal bullhorn lip lift?
