Naturally fuller lips that are here to stay
Our Newport Beach lip lift is a great way to enhance your lips. Your lips will be fuller and plumper without the need for constant lip fillers. Instead of the dreaded duck lips, your lips will be bigger naturally, and the results are long-lasting. Dr. Hendricks is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon and is regarded as the best lip lift surgeon in the area. Instead of recurrent lip filler appointments, this procedure is going to boost your lips for a long time, naturally.
What is a lip lift?
Instead of injecting anything into your body, a lip lift will use your already existing lips and make them appear bigger.
During the procedure, Dr. Hendricks will remove a small strip of skin from underneath your nose, shortening the area between the nose and the top lip. That will help expose more of the red of your lips, making them look fuller and more youthful. An upper lip lift will also make your Cupid’s bow more defined, revealing more of your upper teeth.
What are the benefits of a lip lift?
This surgical lip enhancement procedure is a permanent solution to give your fuller lips. Injectable fillers are only temporary and require constant costly maintenance appointments. Here are some other advantages of getting a lip lift:
- It’s a quick and relatively easy plastic surgery performed under local anesthesia.
- You won’t get the dreaded “duck lips” because there is no bulk added.
- Achieve a more proportional look by targeting specific areas.

These are some of the most common motivations:
- You want to achieve the appearance of fuller lips permanently.
- You want to appear more youthful.
- You’d like a more prominent and defined lip line.
- You want to show off more of your beautiful teeth when you smile.

Your Lip Lift Procedure
A lip lift is a simple procedure that does not require general anesthesia. Instead, lidocaine will be injected to numb the area so you won’t feel a thing. Dr. Hendricks will discuss your personalized plan with you to achieve full lips that look natural.
Depending on how much you want to change your current lip shape, Dr. Hendricks is going to cut a small piece of skin between the base of your nose and your upper nose. The more skin he’s removing, the more dramatic the change will be. While the procedure is relatively simple, you want to choose a surgeon you can trust to keep scarring to a minimum. Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Hendricks has 20 years of experience, and with his meticulous technique and use of fine sutures means you’re going to be in the best hands.Lip Lift Recovery
Your lips will look fuller immediately following the procedure. Plan on resting for at least 24 hours following the surgery and avoid strenuous activity in the weeks after.
You should also avoid sleeping on your face for a while. Swelling following the surgery is normal and typically lasts several days. Cold compression and over-the-counter pain medication will be helpful. To avoid a noticeable lip lift scar, Dr. Hendricks uses a meticulous closure technique, ensuring there will be just a very fine line scar that forms.
