Direct lip lift
Works close to the lip border to change lip show. The scar lies in that area, so suitability requires careful assessment of lip shape and acceptance of a visible scar.

Lip proportion and shape
Lip lift in Valencia
Lip shape depends on more than volume. I perform direct and indirect lip lifts to change lip show or proportion when indicated. The choice starts with assessing the lip at rest and when smiling.
Assessment and treatment
Choosing the technique also means choosing the scar
I assess the distance between nose and lip, the lip border, tooth show and the movement of your smile. We discuss the change you want and the scar involved in each option.
Indirect lip lift
An approach beneath the nose allows the skin portion of the upper lip to be shortened when indicated. The design is tailored to the nasal base and facial proportions.
Volume and proportion
A filler adds volume; a lip lift changes tissue relationships through surgery. During consultation we establish whether the concern involves shape, length or volume.
After treatment
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and an initially more noticeable scar are expected. I will explain wound care, stitch removal and when to resume activities according to the technique and your progress. The initial appearance is not the final result.
Realistic expectations
What we agree before treatment
This is not a scar-free procedure or a way to achieve any desired lip shape. The change must work with your anatomy, lip closure and smile.
Frequently asked questions
Lip lift
How do I know whether I need a direct or indirect lift?
The choice depends on what we want to change and where the scar should be placed. It cannot be decided solely from a technique name or a reference photograph.
Does it replace hyaluronic acid filler?
They have different goals. We may consider surgery, filler or no treatment, depending on proportion, volume and what you hope to achieve.
What risks should I know about?
Risks include a visible or irregular scar, asymmetry, infection, altered sensation and a shape change that does not meet your expectations. Planning and assessment are therefore essential parts of treatment.
How much does it cost?
The initial consultation costs €150, in person or by video. A treatment quote is prepared after assessment, according to the agreed plan.
