What are Upper Lip Lift Side Effects? Science vs. Myths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To understand Upper Lip Lift Side Effects<\/strong>, we must first look at the procedure’s anatomy. A surgical lip lift involves removing a small strip of skin directly under the nostrils to pull the upper lip upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest risk factor is “over-resection”<\/strong> (removing too much skin). Shortening the philtrum excessively doesn’t necessarily make you look younger; finding the “Sweet Spot” that harmonizes with your dental structure and nose shape is the key to avoiding complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Top 3 Side Effects to Watch For<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Visible Scarring<\/strong>: Since the incision follows the base of the nose, poor suturing or keloid-prone skin can lead to a visible line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lip Eversion (Duck Lips)<\/strong>: If the muscle is pulled too tight, the upper lip may “flip” excessively, exposing too much of the upper teeth or gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tightness & Sensory Change<\/strong>: A temporary feeling of numbness or stiffness in the upper lip is common but usually fades within 3 to 6 months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
