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.
What Are the Benefits of A Lip Lift?
If you want to enhance the look of your smile and overall facial appearance, customizable lip lift surgery at our Chicago, IL office can help with benefits that include:
- Enhancing overall balance for a more symmetrical appearance
- Improves confidence and self-image
- Minimizes the appearance of smoker's lines (on the upper lip)
- Lifts the corners of the mouth
- Little to no scarring
- Non-narcotics approach means a more comfortable recovery
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.
I received top surgery from Dr. Iteld 2 months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m trans and non-binary, and I not only felt respected as a patient, but also seen and understood as a person receiving gender affirming care. I feel safe with him and his team, and everyone has been incredible throughout this entire journey. They changed my life.
Dr Iteld and his team are wonderful. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable and caring. My surgery was explained to me in detail so I knew what to expect and the steps I needed in the preparation for the surgery were clear. After surgery I had NO PAIN...it was wonderful. Highly recommend this group!!!
A way less stressful experience than I could've imagined - I couldn't recommend Dr. Iteld more after my experience. After hours of research online from other people going through top surgery, I was very worried about the pain and recovery process. To my surprise, it was nearly painless and a way less stressful experience than I could've imagined thanks to his methods. I'm a very anxious person, but him and his team always made me feel at ease and I had every opportunity for easy communication to answer any of my questions or concerns, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you again!
Kimmy has been amazing at Dr. Iteld's office. she genuinely cares about her patients and never pushes products or procedures. I have never had someone be so helpful in answering my questions and pointing me in the right direction. She is so kind and great at what she does. Could not recommend her enough! All of Dr. Iteld's staff are so friendly!
