What Is A Lip Lift?
At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we specialize in minimally invasive aesthetic treatments aimed at improving the natural beauty of the face and body. One such treatment is the lip lift, a procedure that reshapes the curves of the lip to create a more defined, alluring appearance. Our medical director, Dr. Lawrence Iteld, is an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs lip lifts for patients throughout the world who want to enhance their features. If you're curious about whether or not lip lift surgery is right for you, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Iteld and the team at our Chicago, IL office.
How Does A Lip Lift Work?
Depending on your needs and goals, Dr. Iteld can take several possible approaches to your lip lift surgery. The most common lip lift techniques are:
- Gull-wing lip lift: This approach is typically used to boost the appeal of the vermilion, also known as the lip line that shapes the crests of the Cupid's bow. For this surgery, the skin tissue is meticulously excised, and the lips are lifted and reshaped to boost the depth of the vermilion.
- Sub-nasal lip lift: During this procedure, a tiny section of skin from underneath the nose is removed and then raised and stitched into the correct position under it. This lifting surgery helps the lips to look fuller and larger, adding volume to the vermilion and Cupid's bow.

- Improves confidence and self-image
