A lip lift is a minor surgical procedure that pulls the top lip up and turns it out. It reduces the appearance of lines on the upper lip for a fuller-looking pout, without using filler.

"[Lip lifts] create an effect that people try to get with fillers, but it's very difficult to turn the lip out with lip fillers without making it look unnatural," says aesthetician Dr. Emily Mehta, of London's Story Clinic, explaining why someone might opt for a lip lift rather than filler.
