Upper Lip Lift Surgery in Tijuana
The lip lift, also known as an upper lip lift, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate, shorten, and define the upper lip, creating a more attractive and natural appearance.
At Bellezza Surgery Tijuana, this procedure is performed by board-certified surgeons using precise techniques designed to enhance facial proportion and accentuate the natural sensuality of the smile—without relying on temporary fillers.
What is a lip lift?
Over time, the upper lip tends to lengthen and lose volume, while the philtrum (the distance between the nose and the upper lip) becomes flatter and longer, creating an aged appearance.
A lip lift corrects these changes through a small, carefully hidden incision beneath the base of the nose, where a minimal segment of skin is removed. This shortens the philtrum and elevates the upper lip, subtly exposing the pink border (vermilion) and naturally showing the upper teeth—creating a younger, fresher, and more harmonious look.

A lip lift is also recommended for younger patients seeking permanent enhancement of the lip’s shape and projection without relying on hyaluronic acid fillers.
How is the procedure performed?
A lip lift is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
The surgeon creates a small “bullhorn-shaped” incision at the base of the nose to gently elevate and reposition the upper lip.
The scar is discreetly concealed within the natural crease under the nose and becomes nearly imperceptible over time.
This is an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.
