Our Lip Lift Cost and Procedure Services

Compare Dr. Grossman's surgical lip lift with his non-surgical lip options to find the right fit for your face and budget.

Bullhorn Lip Lift

Dr. Grossman's lip lift removes a small amount of skin just beneath the nose, placing the scar in the natural crease along the nostrils.

Long Upper Lip

Shortening the philtrum by only a few millimeters can restore upper tooth show, reveal more pink lip and rebalance the lower face.

Lip Reshaping

Hyaluronic acid filler placed with Dr. Grossman's Russian technique adds volume and shape in about 5 to 10 minutes, often on the day of consultation.

Bullhorn Technique

Understand Your Lip Lift Options

A lip lift shortens a long upper lip, and Dr. Leonard Grossman most often performs it with the bullhorn technique, placing the incision in the natural crease beneath the nose. To keep the scar from stretching or pulling on the nostrils, he anchors the deep tissue layers to the structural base of the nose, so the scar stays discreet. The goal is subtle, permanent balance between nose, lip and smile, and your lip lift cost is quoted personally after consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a corner lip lift last?

A corner lip lift is a different procedure from the lip lift Dr. Grossman describes on this page: it targets downturned corners of the mouth, and how long it lasts depends on the technique, so ask about it directly at consultation. His lip lift for a long upper lip is permanent: the distance between the nose and upper lip is shortened, and unlike filler the result does not fade or need maintenance. At consultation he evaluates your nose, lips, teeth and smile and recommends the approach that suits your face.
