Lip Lift
Lip Lift in Edmonton
Lucere Lip Lift is a transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance the natural beauty of your lips and rejuvenate your entire facial appearance. This sophisticated procedure targets a specific area of the lip, subtly lifting and reshaping it to create a more youthful and elegant lip contour. The Lip Lift is a meticulously performed procedure that achieves exquisite results, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance while preserving your natural facial expressions.
With aging, the central portion of the upper lip skin stretches with gravity and becomes longer, the central ridges (philtral columns) lose their prominence, the pink portion of the upper lip becomes thin, and there is hooding of the upper teeth with expression. Furthermore, the corners of the mouth take on a downturned configuration and there is an overall loss of the upper and lower lip volume.

Our dedicated team of experts is committed to providing personalized care, ensuring that the outcomes not only meet but exceed your expectations. We utilize the latest techniques and technologies to achieve results that are both aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Lucere Lip Lift work?
A Lip Lift is a safe and effective surgical procedure that focuses on improving the structure and shape of the lips. This procedure aims to create a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Moreover, Lip Lifts enhance the upper lip by creating a more pronounced and aesthetically pleasing shape. This enhancement results in a fuller, more youthful look. Additionally, they can sharpen the definition of the Cupid’s Bow, the double curve of the upper lip, which accentuates the pout.
Surgeons perform this procedure under local anesthesia. Consequently, most guests can resume their normal routines, except for particularly strenuous activities, within a few days. Following the procedure, our expert surgical team will provide detailed instructions on post-procedure care.
What’s the difference between a surgical lip lift & dermal fillers?
Lip augmentation with dermal fillers (lip injections) is the most common cosmetic procedure performed to improve the definition of the lips. Dermal fillers are quick and easy to perform with little downtime, immediately boosting the fullness of the lips. However, the results they provide are strictly temporary.
A Lip Lift enhances lips that lack structure and definition, reverse common signs of aging, or reshape the lip area on a more permanent basis.
Is Lucere Lip Lift
Lip Lift procedures take place under local anesthetic, ensuring that guests experience minimal pain and discomfort during the procedure. Typically, the injection itself represents the most uncomfortable aspect. However, any pain while the anesthetic takes effect is usually minimal and short-lived.
During the procedure, you may feel pulling or tugging sensations as the physician makes incisions and lifts the skin. Generally, patients tolerate this well, and it should not cause significant pain or discomfort. After the procedure, you might experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the lips. These are common side effects of such surgical procedures.
However, these symptoms are typically mild. You can manage them with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. Of course, follow your physician’s advice as part of your post-procedure plan.
What can I expect in the weeks following a Lucere Lip Lift?
The first few weeks following a Lip Lift should be dedicated to recovery and rest, though it will be possible to resume most normal everyday activities within a few days.
During the immediate recovery period, you can expect to experience some swelling, bruising and discomfort. Pain medications and cold compresses can help reduce swelling and alleviate any soreness. Most of these side effects should subside in a week or two.
During the recovery process, guests are usually advised to avoid all strenuous activities, to reduce the risk of complications. You should also keep the incision area clean and dry, while applying any prescribed ointments or creams to the area as recommended by your physician.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled following the procedure, to ensure that the healing process is going as planned. Your physician may also advise you to wear supportive lip balm or sunscreen to protect your lips from sunburn and other environmental exposures.
With proper care, you can expect to see the full results of their Lip Lift in around 1-2 weeks.
Can I combine a Lucere Lip Lift with other procedures?
Yes, your Lucere Lip Lift can be combined with a variety of complementary surgical procedures and non-surgical treatments, including but not limited to a Lucere Neck Lift, Fat Grafting, Fillers, Anti-Wrinkle Treatments, and advanced Laser Treatments to improve the appearance of the skin.
Our expert team are experienced in creating comprehensive treatment plans that may include a combination of procedures and treatments to address different aesthetic concerns and achieve the desired overall results. Consult with your surgical team to determine the best procedures and treatments to meet your goals.
How do I know I’m a good candidate for a Lucere Lip Lift?
Individuals in a generally good state of health with signs of aging and structural concerns are ideal candidates for a Lucere Lip Lift.
During a personalized consultation with our surgical team, various factors such as overall health, facial structure, and aesthetic goals will be assessed to determine if the procedure is suitable for you. Our goal is to provide individualized surgical plans that align with your unique needs, ensuring a safe and successful outcome.
Are there scars left behind following this lip augmentation?
While a Lucere Lip Lift will inevitably leave behind residual scarring (as will any surgical procedure), your physician will ensure minimal visual scarring by siting the discreet locations, while using advanced techniques that promote optimal healing.
During a Lip Lift procedure, small incisions are made along the base of the nose, which are usually well-concealed within the natural contours of the face. With proper care and attention, these incisions can heal quickly and leave minimal visible scarring.
