Youthful lips that will last a lifetime

No more fillers - one procedure for permanent results

If you’re dismayed by the shape and height of your lips, a lip lift can be the long-lasting solution you’ve been searching for. After one procedure, you can enjoy lips that look fuller, younger, and more proportionate to your face.

A lip lift is a perfect alternative to lip fillers.

A Lip Lift at Renuance San Diego (Rancho Bernardo) addresses:
  • A thin upper lip that “disappears” when you smile
  • The space between your lips and nose making you look older
  • Definition of the “cupid’s bow” shape in your upper lip
  • Restoring a fuller, higher lip position from your youth
  • Asymmetrical facial structure and balance

The staff is amazing! They make u feel at home, great customer service, thank you Vinny!!! And when I met the Doctor he made me feel even better! He has confidence, he is funny and has lot of knowledge. Love it. Can't wait to get my surgery done.
Dr. Filip and staff were professional and answered all my questions and concerns. Response time to voicemails or emails was very quick, as well. The office was also located in a easy to access location.
I am highly satisfied because 97% of my stretch marks are gone. My scars from my Caesarean section are gone. I am also satisfied because my stomach is flat again.
Dr. Debi is great! I loved my 2nd Morphrus 8 treatment. I have gotten so many great compliments on how good my complexion looks. I'm getting ready to have my third and final treatment next week. 4 weeks apart per treatment. I'm 72 years old and I must say~~~ Morphrus 8 treatments are a must to have done on your face and neck at any age old or young. I'm extremely happy with the results. I've been going to Doctor Debi for about 6 years now. She also does fillers on my cheek bones, lips along with Botox. Thank You Dr. Debi. Thank You!
Dr Hill is wonderful and very caring, from the 1st consult he made me feel comfortable, looked at me and listened to what I wanted.
Everyone was nice, respectful and personable. Above all everyone was knowledgeable and caring. Maureen (sp?), Bren, Pattie, and Dr. Eichenberg were great to work with and extremely helpful; I'm thrilled I made the right decision to follow through with this procedure with the Renuance team and will absolutely recommend them to others.
My privacy and comfort during the consultation was a priority to the staff and I really appreciated that. The procedure I'm about to get done is one that I want to keep private and I felt confident that I wasn't being judged while I was there.
Dr. Debbie is full of an abundance of knowledge and always takes the time to explain the best way to receive the most out of the procedure and answers and addresses any concerns I have. She is unbelievably patient and is a true professional in her field. :)
was Nervous about getting Botox but DR Debbie made me feel comfortable and explained in detail the full procedure etc
Everybody in the office was wonderful my results are just what I wanted. Murrieta Office is Highly recommended.

FAQ

What exactly happens during a lip lift procedure?

A lip lift is performed under local anesthesia with or without light sedation and only takes about one hour. Frequetly, lip lifts are performed in combination with other procedures such as facelifts and fat grafting. The surgeon makes a precise incision hidden under your nose, removes a small strip of skin, and lifts the upper lip to its new position. This reshapes your lip line and creates that natural, lifted appearance. You’ll be able to go home the same day.

Will people be able to tell I had surgery?

The incision is carefully placed in the natural crease where your nose meets your upper lip, making it very discreet. While there will be a fine-line scar, most patients find that with proper scar care, it becomes barely noticeable after 6-12 months. We’ll give you specific instructions on how to minimize scarring during healing.

How painful is recovery? When can I go back to work and social activities?

Most patients describe the discomfort as moderate and easily managed with prescribed pain medication for the first few days. You’ll have swelling and bruising that peaks around days 3-4. Most people feel comfortable returning to work after 7-10 days, though you may want to wait 2 weeks for important social events. The full recovery process takes 4-6 weeks for all swelling to resolve.

I've been getting lip fillers for years - how is this different?

Unlike fillers, which add volume but don’t change lip position, a lip lift actually reshapes the upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and lip. This creates a more permanent solution that shows more teeth when you smile and restores a more youthful lip position. Many patients find they no longer need fillers after a lip lift, though some choose to combine both for optimal results. It is also possible to have fat grafting placed in the lips at the time of the lip lift.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate?

The best candidates are those with an elongated upper lip area (typically more than 15-18mm from nose to lip border), those whose upper lip tends to disappear when smiling, or those wanting a more permanent solution than fillers. Natural lip thickness isn’t as important as the distance between your nose and upper lip. During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial proportions and discuss whether a lip lift would achieve your goals.

What happens years down the road?

A lip lift creates permanent changes to your lip position, though your face will continue to age naturally. Most patients never need a revision, but your results will age with you. Some patients choose to maintain their results with occasional fillers after several years, while others remain satisfied with their surgical results alone.

When will I feel "normal" again and be able to eat and speak comfortably?

The first few days require soft foods and minimal talking. Most patients return to normal speaking within 5-7 days and regular eating within 2 weeks. Laughing, smiling widely, or making exaggerated expressions might feel tight for several weeks as the swelling resolves. Around the 6-week mark, most patients feel completely back to normal with their new lip position.

Will a lip lift affect the shape of my nose?

This is a valid concern since the incision is placed at the base of your nose. Our surgeon will carefully preserve your nostril shape and nasal base width. However, you should know that there can be some minor changes to how your nose base looks when you smile, as we’re adjusting the tissue below the nose.
Any changes are typically subtle, and most patients don’t notice them once they have healed. We take detailed measurements and photos during planning to ensure your nose-to-lip proportion stays balanced. If you’ve had previous nose surgery or are planning rhinoplasty, it’s important to let us know, as this can affect our surgical approach.
