As we age, one of the more subtle signs of ageing is lengthening of the upper lip. That’s right, as we get older, out top lip gets longer which means you see less of our teeth when we speak. It’s a very subtle sign of ageing, but correcting it can have a dramatic impact on the perception of facial ageing – creating a more youthful mouth area, particularly when speaking or smiling. As well as being an issue that affects older people, this can also be a feature that some of us are born with and correcting it can have a positive impact on facial aesthetics; creating a happier, friendlier appearance.

The lip lift is performed by creating an incision around the base of the nose and removing a strip of skin below the nose. The surgeon then anchors the deeper tissues to the base of the nose, elevating the position of the lip so that there is more tooth show both at rest and on animation. The wound is then closed with some very fine sutures, resulting in a fine scar that is hidden in the crease around the base of the nose. Initially the scar will look a little red, although it can be easily hidden with some make up until it fades over time.

From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.
My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.

The main benefit is the restoration of tooth show, so that the mouth area looks more youthful both when your face is at rest and when you are talking to people. You will also be able to see more of your top teeth when you smile, and the lip can look a little fuller because there is more eversion of the upper lip.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, similar to what you get at the dentist. First, the doctor injects some numbing medicine to make the tissues numb so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure.
You will be able to see that the lip looks shorter and usually improved tooth show immediately after surgery. However, the lip will be very swollen initially and it will take around 7-10 days for the initial swelling to go down. After that, it can take a further 3 or 4 months for the final residual swelling to settle for you to appreciate the final results.
