Enhance facial harmony and rejuvenate your smile with a refined upper lip lift — designed by Dr. Zhong to restore youthful proportions and a naturally elegant appearance.
An upper lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, creating a more youthful, defined, and balanced look. As we age, the upper lip may elongate and turn under, hiding the upper teeth and diminishing facial expressiveness.
At Zhong Surgical Arts, Dr. Zhong uses precise, artistic techniques to subtly elevate the upper lip — revealing a graceful smile that feels natural, not overdone.
The upper lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about one hour. A small incision is made beneath the base of the nose to remove a strip of skin, gently lifting the lip upward. This adjustment shortens the philtrum and enhances the visibility of the upper teeth, creating a more youthful, balanced facial appearance.
The procedure offers long-lasting results with minimal downtime. Risks such as mild swelling or temporary numbness are short-lived. Benefits include a more defined lip shape, improved facial balance, and a rejuvenated, natural smile without fillers.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Sutures are removed after about one week, and minor swelling typically resolves within two weeks. Dr. Zhong provides detailed aftercare to promote smooth healing and beautiful results.
Results are immediate, with final refinement visible as the incision line fades. The outcome is a subtly lifted, proportionate upper lip that enhances your smile’s youthful vitality.
The upper lip lift is an excellent option for patients seeking natural facial rejuvenation without injectables or major surgery. It’s ideal for:
At Zhong Surgical Arts, each procedure is approached with artistic precision and medical expertise. Dr. Zhong’s focus on balance and subtlety ensures that every lip lift enhances your features — never alters them — for results that feel beautifully natural.
