What Is A Lip Lift?
At Maglic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dino Maglic specializes in a selection of minimally invasive cosmetic surgeries designed to enhance the body, face, and breasts. One popular facial surgery he performs for Draper, UT men and women is the lip lift. Lip lifts transform and provide noticeable definition to the peaks and curves of the lips to provide a fuller, more desirable mouth. During your consultation at our practice, Dr. Maglic will learn all about your aesthetic concerns and goals before helping you determine if a lip lift is the right option for you. To learn more, schedule an appointment at our office.
What Can I Expect with A Lip Lift?
There are several possible approaches Dr. Maglic may take with lip lift surgery. The most common techniques are:
- Gull-wing lip lift: This procedure is usually used to enhance the appeal of the vermilion or the lip line which forms the top of the Cupid's bow. For this surgery, the skin tissue is carefully detached, and the lips are reshaped and lifted to improve the appeal of the lip line.
- Sub-nasal lip lift: During this procedure, a tiny piece of skin from under the nose is taken and then lifted and stitched into the proper position under it. This sub-nasal lip lift procedure helps the lips to appear larger and fuller, increasing the volume of the vermilion and emphasizing the Cupid's bow.

Maglić Plastic Surgery Reviews
This review is super hard for me to write. I don’t think I’ll ever find the words of the gratitude I feel for what Dr. Maglic was able to do for me. I needed to have an extremely tough reconstruction done. I had a couple of surgeries that didn’t go very well and ended up with a disaster. I actually had another doctor picked out to do my surgery but kept putting it off because I had a feeling that it wouldn’t work out. I happened to come across Dr. Maglic. I researched everything about him and his art hooked me. I thought if he can create art like that maybe he is the one that could help me. I really wasn’t sure if he would even take me as a patient because I knew the surgery would be highly complicated and the results may not work out so why take that risk? When I met Dr. Maglic I could tell he was caring and focused and if he was willing to do the surgery he would be the one. He was sincere and honest about what he could do for me and my expectation was just to look semi-normal but Dr. Maglic far exceeded my expectations. If one were to see before and after pics the transformation is absolutely shocking.
I was referred to Dr. Maglic and the Premier Plastic Surgery group by my primary care physician. My entire experience could not have been more positive. This is a group that focuses on and has clearly invested in service. Professional touchpoints, fully informative conversations, treatment follow-ups, and genuine personal engagement. Pleasant experience and positive outcomes to the services provided.
Dr. Maglic and his team are extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Their office takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer any questions that I have, and help with any billing or website issues. Dr. Maglic is exceptionally professional and cares about his patients. Dr. Maglic and his team ensured that I felt at ease throughout the entire process and were always available to address any concerns. The level of care and attention I received was outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Maglic and his team. Dr. Maglic and his team made sure I was a good candidate for the procedure and were compassionate and professional about my needs. I am thrilled with my results and grateful for the positive experience.
I wish I could add more stars for this review as 5 do not do Dr. Maglic justice. From the initial meeting, I was completely put at ease with his professionalism and his competency. He listened to all my expectations and concerns and provided me with the utmost confidence that he could and would deliver. The surgery, postop, office staff, and, most importantly, results have exceeded every expectation and I cannot recommend Dr. Maglic enough to anyone who wants the very best plastic surgeon in Utah. There’s nobody else I would recommend more and you will only be disappointed if you go somewhere else.
I recently had the experience of being treated by a fabulous plastic surgeon who combines professionalism with genuine warmth. At first glance, he may seem intimidating with his sharp attire and amazing hair, but his artistic approach to his work is evident in the meticulous detail he puts into every procedure. He views each body as an art piece, without judgment. He was able to lift my breasts back to the correct placement and fixed the botched scarring from a reduction I had years ago, which I didn’t think could ever be possible.One of the things that I was impressed by was how he spoke to his nurses and staff, genuinely thanking them for their assistance. This level of appreciation is refreshing, especially in a field where many skilled professionals often overlook the importance of valuing their team. His respect for those around him emphasizes the significance of a supportive work environment.I highly recommend this remarkable surgeon to anyone seeking not just skill, but also a dedicated partner in their journey. His blend of talent, experience, and kindness is truly a rare find. He introduces himself as Dr. Dino Maglić, but I think of him as Magical! I will call him Dr. Magic😊

How do I know which type of lip lift is right for me?
The best technique depends on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. If you’re primarily looking to define your lip border or improve the shape of the Cupid’s bow, the gull-wing approach may be ideal. If you want to shorten the space between your upper lip and nose while increasing the visible height of the lip, a sub-nasal lip lift may be a better fit. Dr. Maglic will assess your facial structure and desired outcome to recommend the most effective option.
Will a lip lift change my smile or how my lips move?
A well-executed lip lift should not negatively affect your smile or lip movement. In fact, many patients feel their smile looks more balanced and youthful after the procedure. As with any facial surgery, minor tightness may be present at first, but this typically resolves as the area heals. Dr. Maglic takes care to preserve natural function while enhancing aesthetics.
What kind of scar can I expect after a lip lift?
The visibility of scarring depends on the technique used. With a sub-nasal lip lift, the scar is carefully hidden along the natural crease beneath the nose and tends to fade well over time. Gull-wing lip lifts may result in a fine scar along the lip border, which can be more visible depending on skin type and healing. Your surgeon will discuss scar care options and techniques to help minimize visibility as you recover.
