Lip Lift in Ottawa With Dr. Photis Loizides
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that enhances your mouth’s shape and appearance by shortening the distance between your upper lip and nose. Lips tend to lose volume and definition with age, and a lip lift is a permanent solution to reverse these changes. You’ll enjoy a youthful transformation that’s natural enough for others to notice, but without suspecting you’ve had “work done.”
Dr. Photis Loizides offers lip lift surgery in Ottawa to help people achieve fuller, more defined lips. With his extensive training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, he consistently delivers outcomes that align with each patient’s unique goals.
Why Should I Consider a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is ideal for those who want to enhance their facial harmony without relying on temporary solutions like injectable fillers. It is especially beneficial if the area between your nose and upper lip has become elongated with age, causing your lips to appear thinner. A lip lift can offer a more defined lip shape and restore balance to your features.
This procedure is a permanent solution for:
- Lengthening the upper lip to reveal more of the pink lip tissue.
- Lifting the corners of the mouth for a more pleasant, natural smile.
- Improving the definition of the Cupid’s bow.
- Achieving a fuller, youthful appearance without adding volume through fillers.

Types of Lip Lift Surgeries
Dr. Loizides tailors each procedure to suit his patients’ needs and concerns. During your consultation, he will examine your facial structure and ask questions to determine the best approach.
Dr. Loizides can customize each of these procedures based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
- Bullhorn (subnasal): This popular technique involves a discreet incision under the nose, allowing Dr. Loizides to lift the central and lateral parts of the lip, creating a naturally fuller upper lip.
- Central: Focuses on elevating the center of the upper lip, particularly enhancing the Cupid’s bow for more definition.
- Corner: This technique is ideal for lifting downturned corners of the mouth, providing a subtle, lifted smile.
- Italian: Uses two small incisions near the nostrils for a gentle lip lift without altering the central area of the lip.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Lip Lift?
You may want to consider this surgery if you feel the space between your nose and upper lip is too long or if your lips have lost definition with age. Ideal candidates are generally in good health and have realistic expectations.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Want a permanent alternative to fillers.
- Seek a more defined mouth shape.
- Desire a subtle, natural enhancement.
If you smoke or have specific medical conditions that may affect healing, Dr. Loizides will discuss these factors with you during your consultation to determine if a lip lift is a safe choice.
What Happens During and After a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Loizides will carefully make a tiny incision below your nose, through which he will remove a small amount of skin to elevate and shape your upper lip. Once he has made the desired changes, Dr. Loizides will use fine sutures to close the incision. His precise surgical technique ensures minimal scarring.
You will likely experience some swelling and discomfort in the days following surgery. Dr. Loizides will provide you with personalized postoperative instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
Recovery typically takes about one week, during which time you’ll need to avoid excessive talking and eat soft foods to minimize strain on your lips. The initial tightness and swelling will gradually subside. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days, though we recommend avoiding more strenuous activities for about two weeks.
