A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to create fuller, more defined upper lips by shortening the space between the nose and the upper lip. Unlike lip fillers, which add volume, a lip lift enhances lip height and symmetry, offering a natural, long-lasting result. At Dr. Timothy Greco’s accredited facial surgery center, Philadelphia patients can achieve a more youthful, balanced appearance with this effective procedure.
A lip lift is a small surgical procedure that shortens the philtrum—the space between the upper lip and the base of the nose. Lifting the upper lip makes the pink tissue more visible, giving the lips a fuller, more pronounced appearance. This procedure is ideal for patients who want a more permanent enhancement to their lips without relying on regular filler treatments.
