Naturally rejuvenate lips while regaining a harmonious smile
Regenerative Lip Lift
The Lip Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip, enhancing the proportions of the upper lip and the overall balance of the face. At Image Regenerative Clinic in Milan, this technique refines the smile and redefines the lip contour without compromising natural expression. Thanks to the precision of the surgical design, the incision is discreetly hidden in the nasal fold, making it virtually invisible. The result is elegant, natural, and immediate, a subtle detail that makes all the difference.

About the Treatment
Who is Lip Lift indicated for
Lip Lift is indicated for those with:
- Less visible smile: Long upper lip covers teeth while smiling, making it less expressive
- Aged appearance: Excessive distance between nose and lip makes face appear more tired and less youthful
- Disproportionate features: Long lip alters facial harmony, unbalancing lower face proportions
- Loss of lip definition: Lips appear thin and lack volume, contributing to a less dynamic appearance
- Lack of expressiveness: Long lip conveys rigid facial features, negatively impacting overall visual impression
Procedure and Recovery
The lip lift procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, with patients spending a few total hours in the clinic. Follow-up visits are scheduled for subsequent days. Social recovery occurs in approximately 5-7 days.
The Regenerative Innovation of Lip Lift
At Image Regenerative Clinic, Lip Lift is enhanced with regenerative medicine principles under the guidance of Professor Carlo Tremolada. Our technique integrates surgical precision with innovative Lipogems technology, which uses the patient's microfragmented adipose tissue to promote optimal healing and extremely natural-looking results. This regenerative approach not only improves upper lip definition but also promotes regeneration of surrounding tissues.
Advantages of the Regenerative Technique
Regenerative medicine applied to Lip Lift offers numerous benefits. The integration of autologous adipose tissue stimulates natural healing processes, significantly reducing recovery times and post-operative swelling. Results are particularly harmonious and natural, with practically invisible scars that integrate perfectly into the natural crease under the nose. The regenerative technique also improves the quality of surrounding skin, giving a more youthful and vital appearance to the entire perioral area.
Ideal Candidates for Treatment
Regenerative Lip Lift is particularly indicated for patients who desire natural and lasting improvement of their smile. It's the ideal solution for those with thin lips, age-related loss of definition, or disproportion between the upper lip and the rest of the face. The technique is also recommended for those seeking a permanent alternative to temporary fillers, desiring results that maintain over time without the need for frequent touch-ups.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
The post-operative course of regenerative Lip Lift is generally comfortable thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of the treatment. Patients can expect slight swelling in the first days, which progressively reduces. Sutures are removed after about a week, and return to social activities is possible in quick time. Final results are fully appreciated within 4-6 weeks, revealing a more expressive and youthful smile that enhances the entire facial expression.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is an upper lip considered anatomically long?
An upper lip is considered anatomically long when the distance between the nose base and vermilion border (upper red lip line) exceeds 12-15 millimeters in women and 15-18 millimeters in men. However, this measurement should be evaluated in relation to overall facial harmony, as different proportions may be more or less aesthetic depending on individual facial structure. It's particularly indicated when, during smiling, the upper lip doesn't lift enough to expose the teeth.
What psychological impact can a long upper lip have on others' perception?
A long upper lip can affect psychological impact on others, often giving an impression of rigidity, severity, or tiredness. The lack of a visible smile and facial expressiveness can make a person appear less approachable, less dynamic, or older, negatively influencing first impressions. This effect can be improved with a Lip Lift, which gives the face a more open, fresh, and harmonious appearance, enhancing visual and psychological impact.
Is Lip Lift also suitable for younger patients?
Yes, Lip Lift can be performed on younger patients to correct structural proportional concerns or issues resulting from excessive lip filler use.
What is the difference between a Lip Lift and lip fillers?
Lip fillers add volume temporarily and require periodic touch-ups. A lip lift, by contrast, is a permanent surgical procedure that works on the structure of the lip itself — shortening the distance between the nose and the mouth and improving facial proportions in a lasting way. The two approaches are not mutually exclusive: in some cases they can be combined for a more complete result.
Does a Lip Lift leave visible scars?
The incision is strategically placed in the natural crease beneath the nose, making it virtually invisible within a few weeks of the procedure. With proper post-operative care, the scar becomes increasingly less noticeable over time.
How long do Lip Lift results last?
The results of an upper lip lift are permanent: the surgical shortening of the distance between the nose and the mouth is maintained over time. The natural aging process continues, but the proportional improvement achieved through the procedure remains stable.
Are there any contraindications to Lip Lift surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, certain conditions require careful preliminary evaluation, including clotting disorders, some systemic conditions, and smoking. The surgeon will assess each patient's individual profile during the consultation to define the safest approach.
How much does a Lip Lift in Milan cost?
The cost varies depending on the personalized surgical plan and whether Lipogems® regenerative integration is included. To receive a tailored quote, book a free consultation with our team at Image Regenerative Clinic in Milan.
