Who Are the Best Candidates For a Lip Lift?

What’s the First Step?

Your first step toward getting a lip lift at Avenue Plastic Surgery, located in the Toronto and Whitby area, is a scheduled consultation with Dr. Alexander Golger or Dr. Ahluwalia Romy (Dr. Romy). During this initial appointment, you will be asked for your aesthetic goals, medical history, concerns, and expectations. He will thoroughly examine your facial structure and proportions and see how a lip lift can improve these features to match your goals. You may ask questions at any time, as we want to make this experience as comfortable as possible.

If Dr. Golger or Dr. Romy determines that all of these aspects align with the expectations of the procedure, he will set you up with a treatment plan completely tailored to your individual needs and goals.

What to Expect on the Day of Lip Lift Surgery

On the day of your lip lift surgery in the Toronto and Whitby areas, we will ensure you feel as relaxed as possible, reassuring you that Dr. Golger and Dr. Romy have performed this procedure countless times with exceptional precision. Additionally, you won’t have to worry about feeling any pain during the surgery, as you will be under either local or general anesthesia.

To begin the surgery, Dr. Golger or Dr. Romy will make precise incisions hidden along the base of the nostrils, allowing for little to no evidence once the incisions heal. Then he’ll remove a small area of skin, elevating the upper lip and creating a full, youthful appearance. Additionally, your vermilion border, which is the boundary around the edge of your lips, will become sharper and more defined.

Lip Lift Recovery

Recovery from your lip lift will begin with mild swelling and bruising, which will subside after a few weeks. You might also feel some tightness and numbness, so you can use a cold compress and specialized lip ointments to alleviate the discomfort.

While you can take some short initial walks, you should avoid strenuous exercise, as it can irritate your skin and reopen the incisions. If you’re given a bandage, wear it at all times unless bathing or are directed to take it off. Eat foods that are soft, don’t require opening the mouth wide, and are crunchy or chewy for the first couple of weeks.

You should always attend the scheduled follow-up appointments, especially the first one after your surgery, to ensure your stitches are removed and your healing is progressing as expected.

• The extent of your procedure

Your consultation with Dr. Golger or Dr. Romy is the best way to learn how much your lip lift will cost.
