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 redefine the upper lip, creating a more youthful, attractive, and natural appearance.
Lip Lift in Tijuana
At Bellezza Surgery in Tijuana, our certified plastic surgeons perform the lip lift using precise, minimally invasive techniques designed to enhance facial harmony and accentuate the natural beauty of your 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 space between the nose and the upper lip) becomes flatter and longer, giving the face a more aged appearance.
The lip lift corrects these changes through a small incision hidden beneath the base of the nose, where a tiny strip of skin is removed. This shortens the philtrum and gently lifts the upper lip, revealing more of the pink lip (vermilion) and subtly showing the upper teeth — resulting in a fresher, youthful, and naturally balanced look.
Benefits of a Lip Lift

Rejuvenates the upper lip by shortening the philtrum.

The lip lift is also ideal for younger patients who want to enhance lip shape and projection permanently, without the need for repeated filler treatments.
How Is the Lip Lift Performed?
The surgery is done under local anesthesia and typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes.
The surgeon makes a small “bullhorn-shaped” incision at the base of the nose to lift and reposition the upper lip.
The incision is hidden in the natural crease beneath the nose and becomes virtually invisible over time.
This is an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day and resume light activities shortly after.
