Lip Lift & Lip Augmentation (Filler)

What Are Lip Lift and Lip Augmentation?

Lip lift and lip augmentation are two distinct procedures designed to enhance the appearance of the lips, each addressing different aspects of lip aging and anatomy. A lip lift is a surgical procedure that improves the position and shape of the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip. Over time, this distance can lengthen, causing the upper lip to appear thin, flat,or aged. Lip augmentation, most commonly performed with injectable fillers, enhances lip volume, shape, and symmetry by adding fullness to the lips themselves. Although both procedures improve lip appearance, they work in fundamentally different ways and are often complementary rather than interchangeable.

How Do Lip Lift and Lip Augmentation Work?

Lip Lift

A lip lift works by elevating the upper lip to a more youthful position.

During the procedure:

  • A small incision is placed discreetly beneath the base of the nose.
  • A measured amount of sk
  • The upper lip is gently elevated and secured.
  • The incision is carefully closed to minimize visibility over time.

By shortening the upper lip, a lip lift increases tooth show, improves lip curvature, and restores youthful proportions without adding volume.

Lip Augmentation (Filler)

Lip augmentation uses injectable fillers to enhance lip volume and contour.

During treatment:

  • Filler is strategically placed within the lips to restore fullness and shape.
  • Volume can be adjusted incrementally to achieve natural looking results
  • No incisions are required, and treatment is performed in the office.

Lip augmentation improves lip fullness but does not change lip position or shorten the upper lip.

FAQ Section - Premium Design
01

Will eyelid surgery change the shape of my eyes?

Blepharoplasty is designed to enhance the youthfulness of your eyes without fundamentally altering their natural shape. Dr. Pasha's approach focuses on subtle refinement that preserves your unique features while addressing concerns like excess skin, puffiness, or drooping. The goal is to make you look refreshed and rejuvenated, not different.

02

How long do blepharoplasty results last?

Upper eyelid surgery typically provides long-lasting results that can endure for many years, often a decade or more. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty results are frequently permanent, as the fat pads removed do not regenerate. However, the natural aging process continues, which may gradually affect the appearance of your eyelids over time.

03

Is blepharoplasty painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during recovery from blepharoplasty. Any pain is typically mild and well-managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. You may experience some tightness, swelling, or tenderness around the eyes, but these sensations generally subside within the first few days following surgery.

04

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Yes, blepharoplasty is frequently combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive results. Common combinations include facelift, brow lift, or facial fat grafting. Combining procedures can be more efficient, requiring only one recovery period, and often creates more harmonious, natural-looking outcomes across the entire face.

05

What type of anesthesia is used?

Blepharoplasty can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and your personal preferences. Dr. Pasha will discuss the most appropriate option during your consultation, taking into account factors such as your comfort level, the complexity of the surgery, and whether additional procedures are being performed simultaneously.

06

Is blepharoplasty right for me?

Blepharoplasty may be ideal if you're bothered by drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess skin that makes you appear tired or older than you feel. The best candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancement. A personalized consultation will help determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals.
