Bullhorn Liplift in Zurich
For a youthful, harmonious lip profile
Your natural lip rejuvenation at the Metropolitan Clinic Zurich. A liplift – also known as a bullhorn lift – is a surgical procedure for the permanent enlargement of the visible upper lip. Unlike filler treatments, this method provides long-lasting, natural results and can positively influence the entire facial profile.
What is a Liplift? or Bullhorn Liplift
The liplift is a small but effective procedure in which a narrow strip of skin below the nose is removed. This shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip – making the lips appear fuller, more youthful, and better proportioned.
The term "Bullhorn Lift" refers to the shape of the incision, which resembles a stylized bullhorn and precisely follows the natural shape of the nose. The scar is barely visible later.
Procedure for Liplift Treatment:
- A liplift is performed on an outpatient basis and under local anesthesia.
- The procedure takes approx. 45–60 minutes. You can return to your daily routine just a few days after the surgery – with initial visible results.
- The sutures are removed after about one week. Slight swelling or feelings of tension are normal and subside quickly.
Advantages of a surgical liplift:
- Permanent results – unlike hyaluronic acid fillers
- Natural appearance – without artificial volume
- Emphasis of the vermilion border – for more expression and symmetry
- Improvement of lip shape – without frequent follow-up treatments
- Barely visible scar – precise technique and placement
