"Amazing clinic and surgeon ! I’ve had lip lift and upper blepharoplasty procedure and I am thrilled with the results ! Thanks to the very dynamic and professional skills of Dr Carlos, my eyes and lips look so much better than even I anticipated 👌👍"
"They look natural & I look brighter & less tired. My eyes look brighter, my upper lip lift is awesome. Wish I had this done in my 20s as it had always upset me that I had no top lip & no visible eyelids! Now I'm busy shopping for lipsticks & eye makeup. So happy. Best thing I have ever done for myself. Would definitely recommend signature clinic & if I need anymore work done I will go back to signature clinic."
"I had a lip lift as I had a long philtrum and I thought this would solve it. When Dr Ahmed asked what I was looking to achieve, I explained I wanted facial symmetry and thought a lip lift was the answer. A week later and the swelling has gone down. I have the most natural looking lips, AND facial symmetry. I'm honestly gob smacked. I thought I'd be getting big lips to solve a long philtrum. What I got was far better, natural looking."

Lip Lift FAQ
Is lip augmentation reversible?
Lip augmentation with an implant is reversible; that is to say, the implant can be removed during a subsequent surgery. Lip augmentation with most injectables is temporary, so the effects disappear on their own with time.
Why is a Lip Lift Better than Lip Fillers?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that includes a plastic surgeon making incisions in an area of the mouth to improve the shape and fullness of the lips. A lip lift is always performed under local anaesthesia with little to no discomfort.
Although lip filler treatments are wonderful, they must be repeated. For some patients, fillers may be required several times per year. Patients who want results that last longer than the temporary results achieved with injectable fillers are turning to lip lift surgery as a permanent option.
Lip lifts may benefit certain patients more than lip fillers would because they may not react well to filler substances. Opting for a lip lift also avoids the risk of duck lips or trout pout look that can accompany incorrectly filled lips. With patients who are older, the lips will tend to decrease in volume and get longer with age.
Who is an ideal candidate for a lip lift?
Those who think their top lip is too long, want their upper teeth to show more when they smile, or want a fuller-looking lip without filler are the best candidates.
Will the scarring be obvious?
The scaring is minimal and well-hidden in the natural furrow beneath the nose because the incision is made near the base of the nose. Scars typically fade over time and become less noticeable.
Will smile change after a lip lift?
By exposing more of the upper teeth, a lip lift can improve your smile and give it a more youthful, balanced appearance. It shouldn’t affect how the muscles work, preserving the natural smile.
Are lip lifts a suitable substitute for lip fillers?
What type of anaesthesia is given during surgery?
At Signature Clinic, our procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia. This allows our procedures to be safer and speed up the recovery time.
