A Lip Flip at the clinic of Dr. Roberto Junqueira Polizzi in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, is a specialized procedure to rejuvenate the upper lip area. This treatment uses a skin excision technique at the base of the nose to lift the lip, providing a natural and long-lasting result. Dr. Roberto Junqueira Polizzi leads the practice with specialized training in facial surgery from the USA, Europe, and Italy.
Unlike injectable treatments, this surgical Lip Flip involves removing a small strip of skin just under the nose. This lift shortens the distance between the nose and the mouth. The procedure takes about one hour to complete. Patients may receive either local or general anesthesia depending on their preference and the surgeon's recommendation. Because the incision sits right at the base of the nose, the resulting scar remains discreet.
Most patients do not need to stay in the hospital if the Lip Flip is performed as a standalone surgery. You can typically return to your normal daily activities after one week. Swelling and bruising are common for the first 14 days. During the early healing phase, you must follow a specific recovery protocol:
While the initial healing happens quickly, the tissues take time to settle fully. You will see the final, refined result of the surgery after about six months.
Dr. Roberto Junqueira Polizzi is a plastic surgeon with extensive international training. He completed fellowships in microsurgery and rhinoplasty across Italy, India, and the United States. He serves as a preceptor at the Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG, helping train the next generation of surgeons. The clinic holds accreditations from TEMOS and the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP), which confirms its adherence to international safety standards.
