Dr. Schmitt takes a tailored approach to each procedure, ensuring results that harmonize with your facial features and enhance your natural expression. Whether you’re seeking a more defined smile or a gentle rejuvenation, this procedure offers a timeless shift toward self-assured beauty.

What to Expect
Your experience is designed to be thoughtful, personalized and centered on your comfort.
1. Consultation & Planning
Dr. Schmitt takes time to understand your goals and assess the natural proportions of your lips, nose and surrounding features. Together, you will create a customized plan that enhances your lip shape while maintaining facial harmony.
2. Procedure
A small, carefully placed incision is made at the base of the nose, allowing Dr. Schmitt to lift and refine the upper lip with precision. The goal is to increase visible lip, improve curvature and enhance the overall balance of your smile. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and you will return home the same day.
3. Recovery
Swelling and mild tightness are common in the first week. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities within several days. As healing progresses, the incision fades and becomes increasingly discreet.
4. Results
Over the following weeks, the lips settle into a naturally lifted, more defined shape. The outcome is a refreshed, expressive appearance that still feels entirely like you, simply more vibrant and balanced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I still look like myself?
Yes. The goal of a lip lift is to enhance your natural features, not change them. Your lips will look more defined and youthful while maintaining your unique expression.
How long do results last?
A lip lift offers long-lasting improvement. While aging continues, most patients enjoy their results for many years without the need for ongoing maintenance.
Will there be a visible scar?
The incision is placed in the natural crease beneath the nose, where it typically heals very well. With time and proper care, the scar becomes faint and often barely noticeable.
Can I combine a lip lift with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients choose to pair a lip lift with treatments such as fillers or facelift procedures to enhance overall facial harmony.
