Why consider an upper lip lift surgery in Dubai?
As we age—or due to genetics—the upper lip can begin to:
- Appear elongated or saggy
- Lose volume and definition
- Cover the upper teeth, diminishing the youthfulness of your smile
An upper lip lift is a minimally invasive solution that offers:
- Enhances the “tooth show” for a brighter, more youthful smile
- Gives the lips a fuller look without the use of fillers or added volume
- Improves facial harmony, restoring balance between the nose, lips, and chin
With Dubai being a hub for world-class aesthetic treatments, undergoing your lip augmentation or lift with Dr. Sherif Hantash ensures you’re in expert hands.
Key benefits of upper lip lift surgery
- Enhances the lip shape and contour without the need for added volume or fillers.
- Shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip for a more balanced, youthful appearance.
- Rejuvenates the mid-face by bringing harmony between the nose, lips, and chin.
- Increases upper tooth visibility when smiling, giving a more vibrant and confident look.

Upper lip lift surgery in Dubai - The complete procedure
Considering a more youthful, balanced smile? Here’s a simplified overview of what your lip lift surgery journey in Dubai with Dr. Sherif Hantash might look like:
1. Consultation & personalized planning
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Sherif Hantash will assess your facial proportions, understand your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and create a custom treatment plan. This approach ensures that your results enhance—not alter—your natural expression.
You’ll also receive thorough pre-operative guidance, including instructions on medications, smoking cessation, and how to prepare for a smooth recovery.
2. Procedure
The upper lip lift surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
A small, precise incision is made just beneath the base of the nose, allowing Dr. Sherif to remove a narrow strip of skin and lift the upper lip. This effectively shortens the philtrum, enhances your lip shape, and restores youthful proportions—all without changing your natural smile.
3. Recovery & results
Following your lip lift surgery in Dubai, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, tightness, or soreness around the upper lip. These symptoms typically subside within 7–14 days, revealing a more defined and lifted appearance.
- Sutures are usually removed within 5 to 7 days, and most patients are able to return to light daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.
- To support a smooth recovery, Dr. Sherif Hantash will provide you tailored aftercare instructions, including the use of prescribed medications, cold compresses, and ice packs to reduce swelling.
- As the area heals, you’ll begin to notice improved upper lip contour and enhanced tooth show, with final results becoming more visible over several weeks.
Since the incision is carefully placed at the base of the nose, scarring is minimal and well-hidden, offering a natural, long-lasting result that beautifully complements your facial features.
Maintaining the results of upper lip lifts
The upper lip lift results are usually long-lasting and, in many cases, permanent. However, natural aging and individual healing can influence longevity.
To maintain results, follow all post-operative care instructions and attend regular follow-ups with your surgeon. A healthy lifestyle and sun protection can also help preserve your youthful, balanced lip contour for years to come.
