Aesthetic Lip Surgery
Our lips are a primary focal point of verbal and non-verbal communication. Being the silent protagonists of sensual perception in our face, we appreciate nuances in their shape often subconsciously. They impact facial harmony, and are indicators of our mood and our age. Aesthetic lip surgery enhances the natural balance and youthful appearance of your face.
PHILOSOPHY
Subtle refinement or a powerful addition
Greg aims for subtle, tailored strategies that respect the architecture of your smile. While many view lip enhancement through a narrow lens, his repertoire includes more than 20 specialised surgical procedures. As a standalone procedure under local anaesthesia it provides an impactful enhancement to the entire lower facial third. It truly shines as a powerful addition to a Deep Plane Facelift. By addressing the midface and the perioral area simultaneously, Greg achieves a comprehensive rejuvenation that ensures the perceived age of your lips is in perfect symphony with the rest of your rejuvenated facial contours.
Introducing aesthetic
lip surgery
Whilst Greg's focus on anatomical nuances of lips led to over 20 specialised techniques, his Lip Lift surgery remains the gold standard for restoring aesthetics and vitality. This surgery shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip border, rolling the vermilion upward to create a fuller, more vibrant contour, and allow more tooth show. Despite its apparent simplicity, the mouth's "hyperactive complexity" requires surgical expertise as well as postoperative commitment to ensure the resulting scar is virtually inconspicuous, allowing the beauty of the result to take center stage.
Who benefits from lip surgery
The ideal candidate is someone seeking a long-lasting solution to an elongated upper lip, loss of lip volume or droopy corners who understands the limitations of injectable fillers. If you feel your upper lip "disappears" when you smile or that your mouth has lost its youthful definition, you are likely an excellent candidate for this sophisticated surgical intervention.
REASONS
Why patients choose Lip surgery
Many patients seek this procedure to correct the structural signs of aging that non-surgical options cannot address appropriately without compromising harmony or enhance the contours of their lips. Common motivations include:
Redistributing lip proportions for a more "balanced" profile.
Correcting a "hidden" smile where the upper teeth are no longer visible.
Achieving a long-lasting, natural-looking fullness without the maintenance of injectables, or the risk of filler migration.
Rejuvenating the perioral area in combination with a Deep Plane Facelift.
Recovery & aftercare
Whilst the immediate recovery is straightforward and manageable, it is pivotal to remember the importance of your commitment for achieving an inconspicuous scar.
Day 7
Sutures are removed
Week 2
Most patients feel confident returning to social engagements with make-up
1-2 weeks
Swelling gradually fades
First 6 weeks
Avoid movement of the upper lip to support excellent scar healing. Some tightness is expected during this period
Following months
Scar redness gradually fades. Specific exercises are introduced to soften the scar, helping the lips feel natural again — and look their best
Throughout the recovery, you will have regular follow-up appointments. These check-ins allow Greg to assess your healing, address any questions you may have, and provide ongoing support to help you feel confident and satisfied with your results.
