Looking for a permanent, natural alternative to lip fillers?
A Central Lip Lift (also known as Upper Lip Lift or Santral Lip Lift) is a cutting-edge cosmetic surgery that enhances your smile by shortening the space between the upper lip and nose, increasing the visibility of upper teeth, and reshaping the lips — all without injectables.
Unlike temporary procedures like dermal fillers or Botox, lip lift surgery offers long-lasting, structural improvements for a youthful, elegant look. At Dr. Akbari Aesthetic & Wellness Clinics in Tehran and Istanbul, we specialize in advanced lip enhancement surgeries with natural, artistic results.
What Is a Central Lip Lift?
A Central Lip Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to elevate and reshape the upper or lower lip by removing a small amount of skin and repositioning the tissue. This improves facial proportions, reveals more of the upper teeth when smiling, and adds natural volume — all without the “overdone” look of fillers.
Key terms:
- Central Lip Lift = structural enhancement
- Upper Lip Lift = shortening the philtrum
- Lower Lip Lift = correcting thin or retracted bottom lips
Proven Benefits of Lip Lift Surgery
Scientific research published in journals such as Aesthetic Surgery Journal and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery confirms the benefits of this procedure:
- Increased upper teeth visibility when smiling and at rest
- Improved facial balance and profile symmetry
- More youthful, lifted appearance
- Permanent enhancement without fillers
Types of Lip Lift Procedures
1. Upper Lip Lift (Bullhorn Technique)
The most common technique, where a small curved incision under the nose (bullhorn shape) allows for lifting the upper lip.
Benefits:
- Defines Cupid’s Bow
- Shortens philtrum length
- Reveals more teeth naturally
- Adds curvature and fullness to the upper lip
2. Lower Lip Advancement
A growing trend in Europe and the U.S. — ideal for individuals with flat, thin, or recessed lower lips.
Benefits:
- Enhances lower lip projection
- Improves vertical harmony between lips and chin
- Softens harsh or unbalanced facial features
How Central Lip Lift Surgery Is Performed
This outpatient cosmetic procedure is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation.
Steps include:
- Facial assessment and 3D digital planning
- Local numbing
- Precise incision (under the nose or lip border)
- Skin excision and tissue repositioning
- Meticulous suturing for minimal scarring
- Aftercare for optimal healing and results
Lip Lift vs. Lip Fillers: Which Is Better?
| Feature | Central Lip Lift | Lip Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Surgical & Permanent | Non-surgical & Temporary |
| Longevity | Lifelong | 6–9 months |
| Natural Look | ✅ Yes | ❌ Not always |
| Sessions | One-time | Repeated injections |
| Cost | Cost-effective over time | Ongoing expenses |
| Common Issues | Minimal | Migration, overfilling, puffiness |
Conclusion: A Central Lip Lift is ideal for people seeking natural, long-term lip enhancement without synthetic volume.
Lip Lift vs. Fotona Laser for Lip Rejuvenation
While Fotona laser is effective for skin tightening and collagen stimulation, it cannot structurally change the lips. Lip Lift surgery is the only method that offers real, visible reshaping of the lips.
| Feature | Lip Lift Surgery | Fotona Laser |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Lip reshaping | Surface skin rejuvenation |
| Longevity | Permanent | Temporary |
| Lip Volume Change | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Ideal For | Flat, long, aged lips | Fine lines around mouth |
How Long Does a Lip Lift Last?
The results of a Central Lip Lift are permanent. Unlike fillers or Botox, which require frequent top-ups, a lip lift changes the structure of the lip, aging naturally with your face over time.
Why it lasts longer:
- No synthetic material
- Direct modification of muscle and skin
- Better facial harmony with age
Ideal Candidates for Central Lip Lift Surgery
You’re a great candidate for a Lip Lift if:
- Your upper lip is too long or lacks definition
- Your smile doesn't show your upper teeth
- You dislike the artificial look of fillers
- You want a permanent, natural solution
- You prefer subtle enhancement over exaggerated volume
