ENHANCE YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY WITH A SUBNASAL LIFT LIFT
Are you considering a subtle yet transformative approach to enhance your smile and facial harmony? A subnasal lip lift with
Dr. Ashley Guthrie in Brentwood, TN may be the perfect solution. This specialized procedure offers
natural-looking results that can rejuvenate your entire facial appearance by addressing one of the most expressive areas of your face.
What is A SUBNASAL LIP LIFT?
A subnasal lip lift is a precision surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your upper lip and smile by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip (philtrum). This procedure creates a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing lip proportion by:
- Increasing the amount of visible pink lip (vermilion)
- Creating a more pronounced cupid's bow
- Improving the projection and fullness of the upper lip
- Revealing more of your teeth when smiling
- Reducing the elongated appearance that often develops with age
Unlike temporary lip fillers that add volume, a subnasal lip lift surgically repositions your existing lip tissue for permanent enhancement. The subtle lifting effect creates a naturally fuller-looking upper lip without the need for ongoing maintenance treatments.

THE SUBNASAL LIP LIFT PROCEDURE: WHAT TO EXPECT
uniquely outstanding treatment
The subnasal lip lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with or without sedation, allowing you to return home the same day. The procedure typically follows these steps:
- Consultation and Planning: Dr. Guthrie will analyze your facial proportions and develop a customized surgical plan.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered for your comfort during the procedure.
- Incision Placement: A precisely placed incision is made at the base of the nose, following the natural contour where the nose meets the upper lip.
- Tissue Removal: A small, carefully measured strip of skin is removed from beneath the nose.
- Closure: The skin is meticulously repositioned and sutured, lifting the upper lip to its new position.
The entire procedure typically takes approximately 1-2 hours, depending on your specific case and whether additional procedures are being performed simultaneously.

Frequently asked Questions
SUBNASAL LIP LIFT Faqs
How long does a subnasal lip lift last?
A subnasal lip lift provides permanent results, though natural aging will continue. Unlike temporary fillers, the enhanced lip position and shape will remain once the procedure is performed.
Will there be visible scarring after my lip lift?
Dr. Guthrie makes the incision at the base of the nose, where it naturally meets the upper lip. This strategic placement and meticulous closure techniques ensure the scar is well-concealed and typically fades significantly within months.
Is a lip lift painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during recovery. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on patient preference.
How soon will I see results from my subnasal lip lift?
While initial swelling may temporarily mask your results, you'll notice changes immediately. As all swelling resolves, your outcome will continue to refine over 2-3 months.
