Introduction
A frequent motivation for individuals seeking a Lip Lift is the desire for a more harmonious and alluring facial appearance. Patients often express a sense of dissatisfaction with the proportions of their lips, perceiving a disconnect between their inner vitality and external image. Upon self-reflection in the mirror, they may observe that their lips lack definition or appear to sag with time. As we get older, the upper lip lengthens and the smile may hide the teeth, Dr. Benjamin Paul – New York City’s premiere facial plastic surgeon addresses these concerns through a specialized multi-layered Lip Lift procedure. By precisely refining the upper lip, this procedure can profoundly rejuvenate the overall facial aesthetic, providing patients with a refreshed and natural look that aligns with their individual beauty aspirations.
The Basics
A Lip Lift in New York is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by altering their shape and elevating their position on the face. This procedure is particularly focused on rejuvenating and beautifying the upper lip. It involves removing a small amount of skin from the area just beneath the nose, known as the philtrum, which results in lifting the upper lip.
By shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip, a Lip Lift can create a more defined lip contour, increase the visibility of the vermillion border (the line between the red part of the lips and the surrounding skin), and expose more of the upper teeth when smiling. The goal is to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing enhancement to the lips, contributing to a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
Dr. Paul prides himself on delivering natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

If you are looking into a Lip Lift in New York City, your first step is to schedule your consultation with Dr. Paul. During the appointment, you can ask questions about the procedure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and have Dr. Paul examine your face and lip area. He will also ask you some questions about your medical history to create a personalized treatment plan that integrates your aesthetic preferences, individual needs, and desired results.
Using the information he collects, Dr. Paul will then create your surgical plan, which will include the techniques he plans on using, the anesthesia, and every other aspect of the procedure. If you are satisfied with the plan, you will meet with our Patient Coordinator to schedule your surgery. You will also be provided with some instructions to promote a higher potential of having a smooth surgery and recovery.
Please keep in mind that the more open and honest you are during your consultation, the better opportunity you will have of a successful surgery with less chance for unnecessary risks and side effects.
On the day of your Lip Lift in New York City, you’ll experience a carefully orchestrated process aimed at achieving your desired lip enhancement. Upon arrival, the standard check-in procedures will be conducted, ensuring all necessary paperwork is completed. In the preoperative area, you’ll change into a surgical gown, and Dr. Paul, along with the medical team, will conduct final assessments and address any last-minute questions. Anesthesia will be administered, tailored to your agreed-upon plan, providing comfort during the procedure.
Dr. Paul will skillfully perform the Lip Lift surgery, making precise incisions to achieve the desired results. Dr. Paul specializes in performing a layered closure with deep internal dissolving sutures to ensure you will heal as perfectly as possible and this takes tension off the skin closure layer.
After completion, you’ll move to a recovery area, where professionals will monitor your vital signs until you’re stable and alert. Detailed postoperative instructions, including managing initial discomfort and caring for the incision site, will be provided. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled before leaving the facility, ensuring ongoing support during the recovery period. Dr. Benjamin Paul prioritizes patient safety and satisfaction throughout the entire process.
The recovery following a Lip Lift procedure with Dr. Benjamin Paul involves several stages. Immediately after surgery, there may be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the lip area.
Dr. Paul’s team will provide specific postoperative care instructions, including the application of prescribed ointments and guidance on managing any initial discomfort. It’s essential to follow these instructions diligently to support a smooth recovery process.
During the initial days following surgery, it’s advisable to rest and avoid strenuous activities to allow the healing process to progress optimally. Swelling and bruising typically subside within the first week, and any sutures used during the procedure will be removed at the appropriate time during a follow-up appointment. As the weeks unfold, patients will notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of the lips.
The goal of a Lip Lift is to make harmony on your face that appears refreshed and vibrant, while also being age-appropriate. To make the most of your new appearance, our NYC patients often choose to add additional cosmetic surgery procedures for a more unified and rejuvenated appearance.
