A lip lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by shortening the distance between the upper lip and the nose, creating a fuller, more youthful, and well-defined lip shape. Unlike temporary lip fillers, a lip lift provides a permanent enhancement by lifting the upper lip for a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.
In Istanbul, Op. Dr. Murat Benzer offers advanced lip lifting techniques tailored to each patient’s facial proportions. The procedure enhances the Cupid’s bow, increases tooth visibility when smiling, and creates a more youthful lip contour.
Performed under local anesthesia, lip lifting is a quick and effective solution for those looking to achieve naturally fuller and more attractive lips without the need for repeated filler injections.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Lip Lift?
- Individuals with a Long Philtrum – Those with an extended space between the upper lip and the nose who want a more youthful appearance.
- People Seeking a More Defined Lip Shape – Ideal for individuals who want a naturally lifted and well-contoured upper lip.
- Patients with Thin or Downturned Lips – Those whose upper lip lacks volume or has started to droop due to aging.
- Individuals Who Want a Permanent Alternative to Fillers – Suitable for people who prefer a long-lasting lip enhancement without repeated injections.
- Adults in Good Overall Health – Candidates should not have underlying medical conditions that may affect healing.
- Non-Smokers or Those Willing to Quit – Smoking can slow down recovery and affect the final results.
- People with Realistic Expectations – Understanding the natural yet noticeable improvement a lip lift can provide.

What Are the Different Types of Lip Lift?
Bullhorn (Subnasal) Lip Lift
- The most common technique, where an incision is made under the nose to remove excess skin and lift the upper lip.
- It enhances the Cupid’s bow, increases tooth show, and creates a fuller, youthful lip shape.
Corner Lip Lift (Smile Lift)
- Small incisions are made at the corners of the mouth to correct downturned lips and create a more pleasant expression.
- Ideal for individuals with a sad or tired-looking mouth due to aging.
Italian Lip Lift
- Similar to the bullhorn technique, but with two small incisions under each nostril instead of one continuous incision.
- Offers a subtle and natural-looking lip enhancement with minimal scarring.
Direct Lip Lift (Gullwing Lip Lift)
- An incision is made along the upper lip border to increase lip visibility and enhance lip definition.
- This method is more noticeable but provides a dramatic lip enhancement.
Central Lip Lift
- Focuses on lifting the middle part of the upper lip, creating a balanced and youthful lip appearance.
- Best suited for those with a long philtrum and a flat upper lip.
How is a Lip Lift Performed in Turkey?
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
- A detailed evaluation with Op. Dr. Murat Benzer is conducted to assess the patient’s lip structure, facial balance, and desired outcome.
- The most suitable lip lift technique (Bullhorn, Italian, Corner, Direct, or Central Lip Lift) is selected based on the patient’s needs.
- Preoperative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications and stopping smoking, are provided to ensure a smooth procedure.
2. Anesthesia & Incision
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort while remaining minimally invasive.
- A small incision is made either under the nose (Bullhorn Lip Lift), at the lip border (Direct Lip Lift), or at the corners of the mouth (Corner Lip Lift), depending on the chosen technique.
3. Tissue Removal & Lip Repositioning
- Excess skin is carefully removed, and the upper lip is gently lifted to enhance volume, definition, and tooth visibility.
- The lip shape is sculpted for a natural, youthful, and balanced appearance without an artificial or exaggerated look.
4. Suturing & Recovery
- The incision is closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and a seamless healing process.
- Patients can return home the same day, with mild swelling and discomfort expected for the first few days.
- Most patients resume normal activities within 5-7 days, with full results visible as swelling subsides over the next 4-6 weeks.
This quick and effective procedure in Turkey provides long-lasting, natural results, enhancing lip aesthetics and overall facial harmony.
Lip Lift Recovery Process
- First 24-48 Hours: Mild swelling and bruising are normal; apply a cold compress and keep the incision clean.
- First Week: Stitches are removed in 5-7 days, and normal activities can resume, avoiding excessive mouth movements.
- 2-4 Weeks: Swelling reduces, and lips start to shape naturally, with fading redness and scarring.
- Full Recovery (6-12 Weeks): Final results are visible, and scars blend with natural contours for a youthful lip.
