Lip Lift
Luscious lips are a sign of youth and vitality, unfortunately, the most common treatment, lip fillers, have a limited capacity to rejuvenate an aging lip. Sagging of the upper lip is due to many factors including changes in the structure of the facial skeleton and soft tissues. Plumping the lips using fillers does not compensate for these structural changes, meaning attempts to fill the lips to correct for these changes can leave the lips looking artificial and out of proportion with facial harmony. Dr. Matthew Hand, and the team at Thomas Dermatology, which has locations in Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada, are skilled in minimally invasive surgical restoration of the lips and are experts in creating youthful authentic appearing lips.
This was my first visit at Thomas Dermatology and I’m so grateful with the genuine kindness by the staff! I was quite nervous for my appointment but was given some words of encouragement and calmed down quickly! I’m so grateful for them!

Is lip lift surgery right for me?
If you’re experiencing a droopy, thin, upper lip then you might be a candidate for a lip lift. Dr. Matthew Hand will meet with you to review your goals and treatment options as well as what to expect during the procedure before personalizing a treatment plan that matches your needs.
How should I prepare for lip lift surgery?
Prior to your procedure, your surgeon will review your operative plan, including all adjunct procedures, and answer any questions you may have. Comprehensive pre- and post-operative instructions will also be provided. Follow your surgeon’s instructions prior to undergoing any surgery. This could include asking you to stop taking certain medications.
What happens during lip lift surgery?
Lip lift surgery is performed in the office under local anesthesia with light sedation. After you’re comfortable and numb, Dr. Hand will perform your lip lift along with any additional procedures around the lips and mouth. Adjunct procedures include volumization with fat grafting or fillers as well as laser resurfacing to improve wrinkles.
What should I expect after the procedure?
You will be discharged home the same day as the procedure. Be sure to have a friend or family member drive you home, as you will not be allowed to drive after sedation. A comprehensive list of medications and instructions are provided to ensure you take optimal care and get the best results possible.
Downtime after surgery depends on what procedures you’ve had performed and typically ranges from 1-2 weeks with minimal exertional activity.
