Discover the Premier Range of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers We Offer for Subtle, Beautiful Results
A corner lip lift is a fast, non-surgical procedure that gently lifts the outer corners of your lips using smooth hyaluronic acid fillers injected by a skilled provider. This refreshes thinning lips by subtly adding volume just to the edges for a graceful, natural-looking contour.
Full, plump lips are often viewed as a sign of youth and beauty. As we age, our lips lose volume and may begin to sag or droop at the edges. This can make us look older than we feel.
If you want to restore a youthful contour and shape to your lips without surgery, a corner lip lift using dermal filler may be the answer.
What is a Corner Lip Lift?
A corner lip lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses injectable filler to lift and plump the outer corners of the mouth. Precise injections of dermal filler into the lip corners and oral commissures add volume to lift, fill out, and redefine the shape of the mouth. This can address slight drooping corners or thinning lips.
Unlike surgical lip lifts, a filler corner lip lift requires no incisions. The provider marks the injection sites aligned with the natural lip line before injecting small amounts of smooth filler using a fine needle.
This subtly plumps and lifts the thinner tissue in the corners, creating an immediate, refreshed contour without noticeably altering lip size or shape. There is little downtime needed after the injections.

Why Consider a Corner Lip Lift?
There are several reasons you may want to consider filler injected into the lip corners:
- To subtly lift drooping mouth corners
- To balance asymmetrical lips with more volume on one side
- To smooth vertical lip lines around the mouth
- To define and accentuate the lip line
- To restore lost lip volume for a more youthful pout
The effects are subtle, not dramatic. If you want significant lip augmentation, filler injected throughout the lips would be recommended over just the corners. But for mild shaping and lifting of the outer edges, a corner lip lift with filler can provide beautiful rejuvenation.

What are the Benefits of a Corner Lip Lift?
Some benefits of using dermal filler for corner lip lifts rather than surgical lip lifts include:
Minimally Invasive with No Incisions
There are no cuts or stitches involved. Filler is simply injected into the target areas for seamless enhancement.
Little to No Downtime
You can generally return to normal activities immediately. While there may be very minor swelling initially, most patients feel comfortable going out in public right away.
Natural Looking Results
Well executed filler lifts just the outer edges of the lips, rather than augmenting the entire lip. It looks like a refreshed version of your natural lip shape.
Adjustable Effects
If you want adjustments or more/less volume, the provider can tweak the results by adding or dissolving filler. Surgical lip lifts require revision surgery.
Non-Permanent
Lip lift fillers offer the advantage of being non-permanent, with effects lasting 6 to 12 months. This allows you to assess and adjust your results as desired. Unlike surgical lip lifts, filler treatments enable you to easily modify your appearance based on your evolving preferences.
Is a Corner Lip Lift Painful?
Patients often express surprise at how easily and comfortably the procedure is tolerated. The lip area is highly sensitive, so your provider should thoroughly numb the skin using either topical anesthetic creams or dental block injections.
The filler injections themselves feel like minor pressure or pinching sensations. Any discomfort is brief. Overall, most patients report little to no significant pain during the procedure or in the days following. Using an experienced injector and proper numbing helps ensure your comfort.
How Long Do Results of a Corner Lip Lift Last?
Corner lip lifts using dermal fillers produce temporary results that typically last 6 to 12 months, although some patients may experience effects that extend beyond this range. The duration of results depends on various factors, including individual metabolism, the type of filler used, and the injection technique employed.
As the filler is gradually absorbed by the body, the lifted contour will soften over time. When this occurs, patients can schedule maintenance injections to restore the desired appearance.
Consistent touch-up injections every 6 to 12 months allow you to maintain the lifted corners of your lips for years. This non-surgical approach offers an adjustable and renewable enhancement, providing flexibility without the commitment of surgery.
Maintain your naturally volumized lip shape effortlessly through consistent touch-up appointments at Montville Medspa.
Smooth Recovery After a Corner Lip Lift: What to Expect and How to Care for Your Lips
The primary benefit of using injectable filler for a lip lift is the minimal downtime associated with the procedure. Here’s what to expect during the recovery period:
- Mild Swelling: Swelling is typically very mild and may last 1 to 3 days as the lifted shape stabilizes.
- Possible Symptoms: Tenderness, bruising, redness, or numbness can occur but usually resolves quickly.
- Discomfort Management: Any discomfort can generally be managed with over-the-counter pain medication, such as Tylenol, if needed.
- Activity Resumption: Most patients can resume regular activities immediately after the procedure, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 24 hours.
- Final Results Timeline: Final results become visible after a few days, with lips looking and feeling natural again within about a week.
Adhering to proper aftercare and avoiding trauma to the area can help ensure a quick and smooth recovery.
