Subnasal Lip Lift Coral Gables, FL | Adler Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Stephen C. Adler, MD

Understanding the Subnasal Lip Lift Procedure

Over time, the space between the nose and upper lip can lengthen, making the lip appear smaller. A Subnasal Lip Lift is a specialized surgical technique designed to shorten this space, lifting the upper lip to create a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Procedure Details

Adler Facial Plastic Surgery performs the Subnasal Lip Lift using a precise surgical approach. The procedure involves creating a bull horn-shaped incision under the nostrils, removing a subtle sliver of skin, and gently lifting the lip upward. The incision is strategically placed along the natural nasal crease to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Technique

• 30-minute procedure duration
• Performed with oral sedation and local anesthesia
• Incision hidden in natural nose crease
• Gentle upward lip repositioning

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect suture removal between 7-10 days post-procedure. Swelling typically subsides within two to four weeks. Adler Facial Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimal complications.

Recovery Guidelines

• Limited physical activity for several weeks
• Avoid drinking through straws
• No makeup application during initial healing
• Consume only room-temperature foods and beverages

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, the Subnasal Lip Lift involves potential risks, including temporary bruising, swelling, and potential changes in skin sensation. Dr. Stephen C. Adler discusses these considerations thoroughly during the initial consultation.

Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal candidates for a Subnasal Lip Lift are individuals experiencing age-related lip volume loss or seeking enhanced facial proportions. Adler Facial Plastic Surgery offers personalized consultations to determine individual suitability for this transformative procedure.
