Many women come to VG Signature Art saying the same thing: “My upper lip hides my teeth when I smile, and filler just doesn’t fix it.”

The lip lift is a refined surgical solution that addresses this exact concern. By removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose, the upper lip is gently lifted – shortening the philtrum and revealing more of the top teeth when smiling. The result is not just fuller-looking lips, but a balanced, more confident smile.

Who It’s For:

  • Patients with a long philtrum and minimal tooth show
  • Those with lip filler fatigue or unnatural-looking volume
  • Individuals seeking a natural, permanent lip enhancement

The VG Signature Difference:

At VG Signature, we specialize in the Undetectable Lip Lift™ – a technique that hides the incision precisely along the nose base and ensures minimal scarring. Downtime is typically 5–7 days, with patients returning to daily life shortly after.

More and more women are choosing lip lifts over years of temporary filler maintenance. It’s not just a trend – it’s a movement toward timeless beauty, facial balance, and smiles that feel authentic again.

Curious if you’re a candidate? Schedule a consultation with Dr. Vipul Gargya to learn how a lip lift could change the way you smile – for good.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1 How is a lip lift different from filler?

Answer: A lip lift changes lip shape and proportion by lifting tissue, while filler only adds volume.

Q.2 How long do the results last?

Answer: Results are permanent. Once healed, you won’t need repeated treatments like filler.

Q.3 Does it change how I smile?

Answer: Yes, in a good way – it enhances your smile by making the upper teeth more visible.

Q.4 Is anesthesia required?

Answer: Only local anesthesia is used. The procedure is quick and patients remain comfortable throughout.

Q.5 Can I combine it with other facial procedures?

Answer: Absolutely. Many of our patients combine lip lift with fat transfer or our Signature Micro ChinSculpt™ for harmonious facial refinement.
