Is a Lip Lift painful?

While some discomfort can be expected, Dr. Jason Cohn and his team take every measure to ensure your comfort during and after the Lip Lift procedure. Pain management strategies, including prescribed medications and post-operative care instructions, will be provided to minimize any discomfort and facilitate a smoother recovery experience. It’s essential to follow these instructions carefully to ensure a more comfortable healing process.

How many appointments will I need?

We understand how busy your schedule can be, and work with you to make the ease of your Lip Lift something you look forward to. Beyond the procedure itself, additional follow-up appointments may be scheduled for assessment and adjustments if needed, depending on individual circumstances.

How long until I see results?

While you may notice some immediate improvement in lip contour following the Lip Lift, the final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides. The timeline for full visibility of results can vary from person to person, typically taking a few weeks to months. This is because the transferred tissues need time to settle into their new position and integrate with the surrounding structures.

Can I combine a Lip Lift with other procedures?

Beauty knows no bounds! Combining a Lip Lift with other procedures is a common practice. Many patients opt for additional enhancements, such as BOTOX or a Brow Lift in conjunction with their Lip Lift. Dr. Jason Cohn will discuss your specific goals and needs during your consultation and determine if combining procedures is safe and appropriate for you.

What are the risks associated with a Lip Lift?

While a Lip Lift is generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks and potential complications. Risks associated with a Lip Lift may include: Infection Bleeding Anesthesia risk Asymmetry Skin irregularities Numbness or sensation changes Prolonged swelling Poor wound healing Cardiac or pulmonary complications Anesthesia allergies Skin discoloration

First Steps

What’s the first step?

The first step is simply a phone call to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cohn. This initial meeting is your opportunity to share your aspirations for your lips, whether it’s subtle changes or a more defined contour. The consultation is a chance to ask questions, gain insights, and explore the possibilities of a Lip Lift in a welcoming and supportive environment. It’s the beginning of a journey where your unique aesthetic goals align seamlessly with Dr. Cohn’s skill, setting the stage for a confidently enhanced look.

What to expect on the day of Lip Lift surgery

On the day of your Lip Lift surgery at Cohn Plastic Surgery, you can expect a well-coordinated experience, with a dash of excitement for your new look. The process begins with pre-operative preparations, including discussions with our medical team and final consultations with Dr. Jason Cohn to ensure a clear understanding of the procedure. Anesthesia will be administered for your comfort during the surgery. Meticulously placed incisions are then made to elevate the vermilion border of the upper lip, achieving a refined contour. These specific styles can include:

Bullhorn Lip Lift: Involves an incision shaped like a bullhorn or “gull wing” along the natural curve of the nose, allowing for a subtle lift of the upper lip.
Corner Lip Lift: Focuses on the corners of the mouth, lifting them to create a more uplifted and youthful appearance.
Italian Lip Lift: Involves a discreet incision along the vermillion border, resulting in a subtle lift with a natural look.
Gull-Wing Lip Lift: Similar to the Bullhorn Lip Lift, this technique uses an incision to lift the central portion of the upper lip.
Direct Lip Lift: Involves the removal of a small strip of skin directly above the vermillion border, resulting in a direct lift.
Subnasal Lip Lift: Utilizes an incision placed just beneath the nose to lift the upper lip, exposing more of the vermilion.

Post-surgery, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area before potential discharge or a brief observation stay. Detailed post-operative instructions, including incision care and follow-up appointments, will be provided to guide you through the recovery process.

Lip Lift recovery

Recovering from a Lip Lift involves care around initial swelling and bruising around the upper lip, managed with prescribed pain medications. Patients are advised to avoid direct pressure on the lifted lip and may use a special pillow for support.

Incision care and activity restrictions are crucial. The gradual reduction of swelling reveals the final results, and follow-up appointments with us will monitor progress.

Lip Lift Cost

How much does a Lip Lift cost in Long Island, NY?

The cost of a Lip Lift at Cohn Plastic Surgery in Long Island can vary based on several factors, including the specific technique used, the extent of the procedure, and individual patient needs. To determine the precise cost and discuss financing options, it is recommended to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jason Cohn.
