Frequently Asked Questions

How visible will the scar be?

The scar is placed at the base of the nose where it's naturally hidden. With proper care and Dr. Quttainah's meticulous technique, it becomes barely visible within 3-6 months.

Is a lip lift better than fillers?

Each has its place. Lip lift provides permanent structural change and is ideal for those with a long philtrum. Fillers add volume temporarily. Many patients benefit from both.

How long does the procedure take?

The surgery typically takes 45-60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation for comfort.

When can I return to work?

Most patients return to work within a week. The stitches are removed at 7 days, and any residual swelling is minimal.

Will it affect my ability to smile naturally?

No. When performed correctly, a lip lift enhances your natural smile without affecting movement or expression.
