I desire full face lift AND upper lip lift. My concern is lip lift procedure seems to be more difficult and not done as often. If I prefer one Dr. for face & another for lip, what is recommended surgery sequence? Lip or face first? The distance from my nose to upper lip is quite long, but my upper lip is full enough so lip lift will be even more challenging. Do I select only 1 Dr. based on my confidence in the lip skill and conclude that he/she will be equally or more skilled in face?.

Answer: When to do lip lift versus a facelift. TO specifically answer your question, facelifts typically do not effect the same area that a lip lift does, hence, you can do the procedures in any order that you like.

Answer: Lip or facelift I usually perform both of these procedures at the same surgery, as I have quite a bit of experience performing both of these procedures. If you decide to do the lip lift separately, the procedure itself takes an hour or so to perform, usually being done under oral sedation and local anesthesia, with a 7 day recovery period before the sutures get removed.

Answer: Facelift with possible Lip Lift I recommend that you find a surgeon you trust whose results you admire. Then, review your options with them. In general, I only would recommend a lip lift in a very select group of patients. The order is not necessarily important but I would review in detail the recommendations. Good luck.
