Fuller Pout with Upper Lip Surgery / Upper Lip Lift
We believe the world needs more smiles -- smiles like yours. However, many men and women feel less-than-great about their smile.
If you feel like your lips are thin, you have too much space between your lips and nose, or you would like your lips to appear more pronounced then you're probably a good candidate for a lip lift. Unlike a filler or injection, this in-office procedure increases the amount of visible pink lip tissue, making it a good way to add height in addition to volume.
Lip lifts are also more permanent than fillers and injectables, so it will require no upkeep or maintenance. Plan to rest or avoid strenuous activity immediately after the procedure. Results will be apparent after swelling reduces, about 72 hours post-surgery. Sutures can be removed in 5-7 days. The results last a lifetime!
It's a popular procedure for the providers at Quintesssa and we've brining smiles to residents in Wisconsin for years. Schedule your personalized consultation today!

Upper Lip Lift Before and After
Why should I consider An Upper LiP LiFT?
Patients come to Quintessa for a lip lift for numerous reasons including:
- The appearance of a large upper lip area
- Teeth not showing when smiling
- The look of deflated lips
A lip lift improves the smile and creates a fuller lip and the procedure can be performed on patients of all ages. Whether you have always had a large space between your nose and lips, or if this space has grown larger over time, a lip lift will result in an enhanced smile and fuller, more voluminous lips.
What's more, surgical lip lifts are permanent. Though the patient will continue to age, their results will age gracefully and naturally.
The Upper Lip Lift Procedure
One of the most common types of lip lift surgeries performed at Quintessa is called the upper lip lift (subnasal lip lift). The upper lip refers to the area between the base of the nose and the pink of the lip. This bullhorn technique shortens the upper lip to improve the look of the lip area and smile.
Our expert Dr. Daniel Butz and double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Campbell, perform this procedure by first making a small incision under the nose and removing skin from that area, shortening the distance from the upper lip to the base of the nose.
The amount of skin removed is customized to each patient in order to achieve the best results. And with the use of local anesthetic, our doctors numb the upper lip area during procedure to eliminate pain. After treatment, Tylenol, ibuprofen and cold compression make any lingering discomfort easy to tolerate.
Upper Lip Lift Recovery and Results
Some patients experience swelling or pain, which passes in 72 hours or less. The sutures will be removed in about a week following the procedure. The scar typically heals so well that most patients cannot see it.
This procedure results in a more pleasant shape of the lip area. In addition, the patient’s teeth will show more to create a more natural smile. These results along with your rejuvenated confidence will last a lifetime.
