Bangkok · Cosmetic surgery
A lip lift is a short operation under local anaesthetic, offered in Bangkok by private hospitals and clinics: skin is removed under the nose, or above the mouth corners, to lift the lip.
It is a day case. Stitches come out after five to seven days, so plan to stay about a week.

Pricing is indicative and never a quote.
A lip lift shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip. A shaped strip of skin is removed under the nose and the cut is closed in the crease there, so more of the lip and the upper teeth show.
A corner lift removes small triangles of skin above each corner of the mouth to raise the corners slightly. Both are done under local anaesthetic.

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
Skin is removed under the base of the nose; the scar sits in the crease beneath it.
Small triangles of skin are removed above the mouth corners, for corners that turn down at rest.
One clinic combines the lift with fat added to the lip, under local anaesthetic.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Filler adds volume but does not change the distance from nose to lip. A lift does, and lasts.
Ask the surgeon to measure the distance from nose to lip, and how much tooth shows, before choosing.
It sits under the nose or at the mouth corners. One hospital says it fades, especially by three to six months.

Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.
Send photos of your face at rest and smiling. The surgeon still measures you in person.
The surgeon measures the distance from nose to lip and how much tooth shows, and agrees the plan and the price.
Under local anaesthetic: 45 minutes to 1.5 hours at one clinic, and you go home the same day.
Swelling peaks in the first two to three days. Eat soft food and avoid opening your mouth wide.
At five to seven days. One hospital advises keeping water off the wound until then.
Swelling and bruising settle over one to two weeks; the shape settles at one to three months.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
