Lip Lift in Las Vegas, NV
Whether your lips need help with downturned corners, vertical lines, or a long upper lip, a lip lift can enhance your facial beauty.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Arthur Cambeiro, offers multiple lip lift techniques, including an upper lip lift, which uncovers the upper teeth. Dr. Cambeiro can also increase the red portion of the upper lip by decreasing the distance between the upper lip and the nose. This cosmetic enhancement helps elevate the upper lip to make it appear larger, with discreet incisions at the base of the nose.
If you’re considering improving your lip appearance, contact Dr. Cambeiro today to request a consultation. Or, call SurgiSpa at (702) 566-8300 to schedule an appointment.
How Does Dr. Cambeiro Create Your Lip Lift Surgical Plan?
Dr. Cambeiro, with your input, will devise a lip lift surgical plan to ensure optimal results. He will begin the process with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your cosmetic goals and the reasons you’re seeking lip enhancement. He will explain in detail what you need to do before and after your surgery, and clarify what to expect from the results. To ensure you get the most out of your consultation, he will ask you to review these 11 critical questions you should ask during your initial visit.
With your feedback, Dr. Cambeiro will develop a surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. He’ll:
- Show you a video explaining the surgery.
- Provide instructions on how to prepare for the operation and what to expect during recovery.
- Answer your questions and address your concerns.
- Discuss the risks involved.
- Describe the procedure in detail and what to expect from its results.
Dr. Cambeiro realizes patients don’t like surprises during or after cosmetic surgery. It’s why he explains to each of his patients the realities of lip lift surgery and what additional procedures may enhance the results.
Who Are Lip Lift Candidates?
The lip lift procedure is not exclusively for older patients who have lost their lip luster over the years. Many patients across a wide range of ages consider a lip lift to project broader smiles and improve their pouts. We often see women in their 20s consider a lip lift to beautify their mouth and improve their facial appearance.
Perfect candidates for a lip lift include individuals:
- Those who want to have a broader smile and alter their upper lip line.
- Who wish to revitalize their facial appearance.
- Whose teeth don’t show when they smile?
- Who wants to reduce the distance between the bottom of the nose and their upper lip?
- Who wish to reduce wrinkles around their mouth.
- Who wants to turn up the corners of their mouth?
- Those who want their upper and lower lips to be in balance.
- Who wants to lift their upper lip into a Cupid’s bow for a more prominent pout?
- Those who want permanent results are not possible with dermal fillers.
For best results, the prospective patient must have enough upper lip area to enable the removal of excess skin.
Meet Arthur Cambeiro, MD

What Are Lip Lift Benefits?
A facelift alone will not enhance lip appearance. The surgery has little, if any, effect on the skin around the lips. If the temporary results of injectable fillers aren’t satisfying anymore, you may find a lip lift is right for you. Las Vegas lip lift benefits include:
- Lifting the corners of the mouth
- Fuller lips
- Improving lip length and shape
- A more prominent lip line
- A reduction of fine lines on the upper lip
- Enhancing the smile to show more teeth
- Permanent results
- Improved confidence and self-esteem

What Happens During The Lip Lift Procedure?
Dr. Cambeiro offers different techniques to deliver outstanding results. He tailors the operation to meet the needs of each patient and their unique anatomy. Dr. Cambeiro performs this in-office surgery while his patients are under local anesthesia. It takes about one hour.
The Upper Lip Lift
Dr. Cambeiro’s upper lip lift shortens the upper lip and expands the vermilion border to make it appear there is greater upper lip volume. This process uses a small, inconspicuous incision under the nose.
Downturned Corners
Dr. Cambeiro addresses downturned corners with a similar technique, making small incisions on each side of the mouth. This technique helps elevate the corners of the mouth and repositions them attractively.
A lip lift is a straightforward procedure that delivers youthful and attractive lips, is minimally invasive, and has little downtime. Scarring is also minimal, and the operation offers little risk.
What To Expect During Lip Lift Recovery?
After your lip lift, you could experience some slight discomfort, swelling, and tightness. Within a week, these effects will significantly diminish, with most swelling abating after a month. During your recovery, you should expect:
- To take antibiotics and pain medications.
- To return for a follow-up appointment after five to seven days so Dr. Cambeiro can evaluate your progress and remove your sutures.
- To apply a recommended ointment or salve to the incision sites to reduce the risk of visible scarring.
- To use ice packs to reduce swelling for the first few days.
- Inflammation and swelling to temporarily affect the appearance of your nostrils and nose, making them look larger.
- Redness and bruising around the incision area.
What Is The Difference Between Lip Lift & Lip Filler?
Though many patients enjoy the temporary results they achieve with dermal fillers to enhance their lip volume, a lip lift offers a permanent improvement. A lip lift may also benefit patients who don’t react well to injectable fillers. And because the lips are the most sensitive area for injections, continuous treatments may not be the best solution for many individuals looking for full lips.
My experience was amazing! Dr. Cambeiro and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I am so happy with how my procedure turned out 🙂
