Volume-Enhancing Lip Lift Benefits
The benefits of a lip lift procedure begin with appearance and extend further to improve facial harmony and confidence.
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a cosmetic surgery that enhances the natural contours and volume of the lips. Skilled plastic surgeons perform this procedure by surgically minimizing the vertical length between the nose base and upper lip.
The surgical lip lift procedure is designed to provide a more youthful appearance by elevating the upper lip and exposing more of the pink tissue, resulting in fuller lips.
There are several types of lip lifts, including the direct lip lift, corner lip lift, bullhorn or subnasal lip lift, and the Italian lip lift. Each of these procedures targets specific areas of the lips and is chosen based on the patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcome.
Who is an Ideal Lip Lift Candidate?
Ideal candidates for a lip lift are in good general health and have no active infections. They should not have any conditions that might impair healing after surgery. Candidates may also:
- Be individuals who are dissatisfied with the distance between the base of their nose and their upper lip.
- Want to enhance the volume and shape of their lips.
- Have used injectable fillers and are looking for a more permanent solution.
Meeting Preparation Guide
What to Expect During Your Lip Lift Consultation
During the lip lift consultation, Dr. Wong will discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations. She will evaluate your facial anatomy, including the structure of your lips and skin elasticity, to recommend the most suitable technique.
Dr. Wong takes the time to educate her patients about the procedure, recovery, and expected results. Patients have the opportunity to discuss their concerns and have all of their questions answered so that they can make a well-informed decision.
The Lip Lift Procedure
The lip lift procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After it is administered and the patient is comfortable, Dr. Wong carefully creates incisions directly under the nostrils or along the border of the upper lip, depending on the chosen technique. She then gently elevates the tissue and skin through the incisions, removes excess skin, and sutures the area.
The entire procedure typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. Dr. Wong’s precise surgical skills and attention to detail ensure a safe and effective lip lift that enhances the patient’s natural appearance.

Lip Lift Surgery Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from lip lift surgery usually involves mild-to-moderate discomfort and lip swelling for the first few days. Most of the swelling resolves within 7-14 days, and patients can expect to return to their normal activities within a week.
Dr. Wong may advise patients to avoid strenuous exercise and keep their heads elevated to minimize swelling.
Prescription pain medication is rarely needed, as the discomfort is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
It is essential to follow Dr. Wong’s post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.

Lip Lift Cost in New Jersey
The cost of lip lift surgery in New Jersey varies depending on several factors, such as the surgeon’s expertise, the complexity of the procedure, and the chosen technique.
Lip lift surgery is generally not covered by insurance since it falls under the category of cosmetic procedures. While initial costs may be higher compared to temporary dermal fillers, which require ongoing touch-up appointments, lip lift surgery can be more cost-effective in the long term.
