Fuller, More Defined Lips
If you long for youthful, symmetrical lips, but don’t want to use lip fillers or implants, lip lift services in Brookfield, Wisconsin may be a great option for you.
Lip lift surgery can help increase your self-confidence and rejuvenate your appearance.
The Quintessa Aesthetic Center in Brookfield provides renowned, innovative surgical procedures for beauty enhancement. Our plastic surgeons are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals on your journey to look and feel your best.
Lip lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that decreases the distance between your upper lip and the base of your nose (known as the philtrum). This surgery helps you to achieve a pronounced and youthful lip contour and provides a way to achieve defined, full lips without frequent Botox injections or fillers.
The highly-skilled and experienced Quintessa lip lift surgical team is led by Dr. Andrew C. Campbell and Dr. Jake Thayer, board-certified plastic surgeons.
During your outpatient lip lift surgery, you’ll receive local anesthesia to numb the pain and make you comfortable. Your surgeon will then make a precise incision (or incisions, depending on the type of lip lift procedure you choose) in the philtrum, remove excess skin from the area, and lift your upper lip (or both lips) into the desired position, exposing more of your red lip, and increasing the definition and fullness of your lips.
There are several types of lip lift procedures that focus on different goals. It’s important to understand each type of lip lift so that you can determine which will work best to help you achieve your goals.
A central lip lift primarily focuses on lifting the center of your upper lip to both shorten the distance between your upper lip and your nose, and produce a “Cupid’s bow” lip shape and a fuller lip appearance. This procedure is similar to the bullhorn, but focuses on one area of the upper lip, rather than the whole lip.
The corner lip lift surgery includes small incisions to the corners of your lips to gently lift your lips upward. This procedure improves a downturned or drooping mouth by lifting the corners of your lips, enhances your smile, reduces drooping skin, and rejuvenates your appearance.
The direct, or gullwing, lip lift removes the strip of skin just above the upper lip line (in the shape of a seagull’s wing) and enhances the visibility and shape of the upper lip. The direct lip lift creates a more defined lip line as well.
The Italian lip lift includes two very small incisions below each nostril, rather than a long incision above the upper lip. However, the procedure subtly lifts the upper lip and provides natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
The V-Y advancement lip lift includes the upper and lower lip and includes a “V” shaped incision in the inner lining of your lips. Your lip tissue is then lifted and repositioned to give your mouth a full and voluminous look. The incision heals in a “Y” shape.
People who choose lip lift services in Brookfield represent a variety of demographics and may schedule the procedure for numerous reasons. However, the ideal candidate for a lip lift will:

Your lip lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that requires local anesthesia. The surgery should typically take 1-2 hours, and will address the areas you choose to target (for example, your upper lip or lip corners). However, this time can vary based on your unique requirements.
Some bruising, discomfort, numbness, and swelling is normal after a lip lift surgery, and may last for several weeks before noticeably subsiding. Icing the affected area and taking over-the-counter pain medications such as Tylenol may help reduce your discomfort. Your surgeon might also prescribe you pain medication and offer specific guidelines, including dietary restrictions, to promote healing and help you to recover quickly.
You should see final results within three-six months of your Brookfield lip lift procedure. Your scarring will be minimal, and should fade within a year of your surgery.
We’ll collaborate with you to ensure your surgical plan aligns with your expectations and goals, and support you on your journey to a rejuvenated appearance.

Wonderful Experience
During your lip lift surgery at Quintessa, we use local anesthesia to minimize the discomfort you might feel during the procedure. However, mild to moderate pain after your lip lift procedure is normal and can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication such as Tylenol.
The results of a lip lift are often permanent and last longer than temporary treatments such as lip fillers and injections, as the procedure focuses on structural change of the upper lip.
Enhanced confidence and beauty with us, where expert care and tailored solutions await to help you look and feel your best.
