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

If you want the best team and some of the best work I have seen, this is the place to go. Every single staff member has been nothing but absolutely amazing through my brother’s whole process. Linda, Caryle, Ashley, and Kimmie have been absolutely so sweet and fantastic. Their customer service has been phenomenal and unmatched. Dr. Iteld is truly an amazing doctor. He takes time with his patients and makes sure that they are 110% comfortable and that they understand ALL work that will be done and is so honest and real about the results. His work is incredible. Thank you so much to the whole team for providing a truly amazing experience for my brother. Couldn’t have picked a better office!!!!!
I had a fantastic experience with the entire team here. From consultation to surgery to follow-up after care, I felt I was in good hands. I'm extremely happy with my results. I'd highly recommend Dr. Iteld
I went to Dr Iteld for a breast reduction. He and his team made me feel immediately at easy. They offer their expertise to answer all your questions, and made the process as easy as possible, from prep to surgery to recovery. I was shocked how easy my recovery was! I love that I now feel I have proportionate breasts to my body for the first time ever!
Dr. Iteld and his associates have been nothing short of amazing! Everything has gone so well. I almost went with a different surgeon, but after so many issues along the way, my gut told me it wasn't right. I found Dr. Iteld through RealSelf and Google searches and looking at his work and after meeting him and his team, I just felt so much more comfortable. The surgery went incredibly well. I did not need any painkillers at all not even Tylenol. It was virtually pain-free. I had a breast lift with a very small implant to keep the size and the scars are very minimal and I'm so happy! My breasts are perfect! So even and just the right shape and size!!
