Lip Lift in Beverly Hills, California
A lip lift creates a fuller, more youthful upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and lip — a permanent, natural enhancement without ongoing filler. Dr. Hootan Zandifar performs this refined procedure at his Beverly Hills practice.
What Is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift surgically shortens an elongated philtrum (the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip), rolling more of the pink lip into view and creating a more youthful, defined smile. Unlike filler, it’s a one-time, permanent change.
Lip Lift vs. Filler
Filler adds volume temporarily; a lip lift changes the lip’s proportion and shows more of the upper teeth at rest — a result filler can’t achieve. Many patients prefer it as a natural, lasting alternative.
The Procedure
Performed under local anesthesia with a discreet incision hidden at the base of the nose. Recovery is straightforward, and the scar typically heals very well.
Who Is a Candidate?
Patients with a long upper lip or who want more visible pink lip and a youthful smile, without ongoing injections.
The Value of Lip Lift
A permanent, natural upper-lip enhancement — precision and proportion are everything. Because it’s a lasting result, the quality of the outcome — not the lowest price — is what matters most.
