Designed for those who worry others will notice something, but cannot explain what.
Guided by facial harmony, proportion, and restraint, never by trends.
What Is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a precise facial surgical procedure designed to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip (the philtrum), subtly elevate the upper lip, and enhance natural lip show. Unlike fillers, which add volume and can distort movement over time, a lip lift restores youthful anatomy and proportion at the structural level.
When performed correctly, a lip lift enhances the curvature of the upper lip, improves tooth show at rest, and harmonizes the lower third of the face, all while preserving natural expression.
At VG Signature, the lip lift is approached as a facial harmony procedure, not an isolated cosmetic adjustment.
The Undetectable Lip Lift™ Philosophy
An undetectable lip lift is not about making lips larger.
It is about restoring balance, proportion, and elegance.
Poorly performed lip lifts often result in visible scars, over-shortening, or an artificial appearance. Dr. Vipul Gargya’s approach emphasizes:
- Meticulous incision placement hidden within the natural nasal base
- Conservative, anatomy-driven elevation
- Precision closure to ensure scars fade to near invisibility
- Preservation of natural lip movement and softness
The goal is a result that looks refined and effortless, not surgical.
VG Signature Methodology™ for Lip Lift Surgery
Every lip lift at VG Signature is treated as a bespoke design process.
Dr. Gargya evaluates:
- Facial proportions and lip-to-nose balance
- Smile dynamics and tooth show
- Skin quality and healing potential
- potential Overall facial harmony, including the nose, chin, and jawline
No two lip lifts are ever identical. The technique is tailored to the individual anatomy, ensuring the result integrates seamlessly with the rest of the face.

Lip position settles into a natural contour. Makeup can be used to conceal the incision if desired.

Scar continues to fade. Final refinement becomes evident.
Note: Many patients return to work and social activities within one week, depending on comfort and lifestyle.

Answer: Patients with a long upper lip, diminished tooth show, or age-related lip elongation often benefit most. Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smokers with realistic goals.

Answer: When performed with meticulous technique, the incision is hidden at the base of the nose and typically fades to near invisibility.
Q.3 How long do lip lift results last?
Answer: A lip lift provides permanent structural improvement. Unlike fillers, results do not dissipate over time
Q.4 Is a lip lift better than filler?
