Dr. Gary Linkov is Dr. Linkov is a double board-certified by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery facial plastics and hair restoration surgeon. His practice is called City Facial Plastics and is located in Manhattan, New York on Madison Avenue. Dr. Linkov is an expert in non-surgical and surgical facial procedures with particular interests in lip enhancement and hair restoration.
Lip lift is a surgical procedure where skin under the nose is removed and the remaining tissue is sutured back together to give a lifted appearance to the upper lip. Additionally, a lip lift can increase teeth show and better define the cupid’s bow aspect of the lip. Lip lift can involve the entire lip or the corners only.

I just had this 3 days ago and you are so much more in depth on aftercare than my surgeon. Thank you for this video.
Please keep us updated on your healing and pain tolerance and everything else if you can. Thinking about doing it too but scared.
How did it come out?
My upper lip is ok and I have no intention of doing this procedure (maybe when I'm older). However I am happy that people have access to this information, really cool! Thanks dr Linkov for joining UA-cam, we appreciate your videos
I called his office and The lady immediately said lip lift is $11,000 I told her have a nice day and I proceeded to book elsewhere that price is ridiculous..
I know a great facial plastic surgeon I had to have a revision my scar was bad and i felt horrible. The Williams Center in Albany NY. Dr. Slaughter, $3,500 and in my opnion he has a better scar then this guy. Please please call. I am not getting paid for this.
@@danielleclark2708can you post a video of your results?
Mine was 5k in New York.
Mine quoted $17k but then again he’s on rodeo Dr
Lmao mine was 900 in czech republic
You explain things so extremely well. One of the best plastic surgery UA-camrs!
Im not even considering plastic surgery, but its very interesting to learn how the human body heals and what things we’ve invented to change our outward appearances for the world and ourselves. I just love information and your channel supplies that unbiasedly…. Lol Also you’re not trying to sell me skin cream 🤪
It's nice to hear a doctor say they'll manage pain if the person wants it. I'm hearing so many horror stories of people being left without pain care after surgeries these days. Personally, my parent did not allow me to take meds post-op my spinal fusion and it has had long-term devastating effects from PTSD. That and chronic pain from EDS has led me towards pro-Rx opioid advocacy and what is being done to people both post-op and in long-term pain is criminal. We're losing a lot of cpps to suicide.
We're also losing a lot of people to opioid addiction...
Would you please clarify two of your abbreviations for me: EDS and cpps.
Thank you!
Another great video watching your videos I’m learning so much about our faces and how different areas heal.
Tied in nicely with the Lip lift videos
Bravo again
I was born with a long upper lip. At this point in my life I want to get it lift. It would be nice if you could do an educational lip lift video regarding the process, adverse side effects and cost.
Dr Gary you're great 👍🏽. Thanks for taking the time to explain because I was really having bad anxiety after my lip lift. I went to a different Dr but they didn't break anything down or explain any of the post op stuff so thank you.
Hello ! Please how much does surgery?
Your open minded love your attitude, ima have to hit you up one of these days , my hair line is receding on the edges a bit. I heard you need to take care of it before it gets worse.
Amazing before and afters on your website! Does the upper lip get bigger from a lip lift or is that filler?
I need this procedure 😌
Thank you sooo much for the information that was so helpful
You have helped me decide to get a lip lift-thank you!!! I wish you were here in California so I could come get a consult with you. Your gallery is awesome. I’ll have to see Dr. Jason Diamond I guess. I love him but he’s so busy and I feel a little uncomfortable with the amount of famous people he sees. It’s wierd and I tend to wonder if I’m getting the same level of care as his rich patients. That Scar gel you recommend is awesome. I got some in my last surgery.
Hi Dr Linkov, is your technique cutting one line across ? I’m curious if this would be suitable for someone like me who has keloid on my ear from a facelift.
Hi Dr. Can this be done in office or does it require anesthesia and surgery room?
Hello Doc, how many centimeters of skin do you remove normaly in a lip lift procedure? And is it possible to remark the Philtrum columns in the lip lift procedure?
What if you have EDS will the lip go down again after surgery since our tissues are less tighter than other peoples ? Should you always remove all filler previous ?
I’d like to have this procedure done someday, but would testing out lip filler to see if I like the look be a good option first?
How much does somebody have to wait to have a rhinoplasty after having done a lip lift (not under general anesthesia if it plays a role)?
Thank you!!
I had a LL 9 months ago and I got an atrophic scar on the left side and I also have railroad tracks how can I make it better without having to go through surgery again?
Hi could u please talk about the non surgical lip lift VS a surgical one.
What age should person consider this? Also, what is the coast and if it's general anesthesia?
Ty for your info I’m having my lip lift in two weeks ....
The thing you didn't cover which is what I wanted to know the most is the my end/tip of my nose and my top lip and area have no feeling at all. How long does that last for?
I have a new wound and one side is more lumpy and raised than the other side. The lumpy side doesn't fizz with peroxide. Should I apply the biocorneum to the lumpy side or wait for it to be more flat before applying
Doctor, you have such a beautiful skin 🌝
If I get a vertical line on each side of the lip what is the cause and what can I do to fix this
Do you perform corner lips lift please? Any video or before and after photos to show the results? How many it costs?
Drop a skincare routine sir
Hey doctor! Just wondering if a person must dissolve all their lip filler first before getting this done
Hi Doc,
If possible, can you explain the differences and the pros and cons of the v to y lip lift vs the bullhorn lip lift?
I Wonder 2
I'd also like to know
Weldon Dr Garry👏👏👏nyc one 👌👍
Hello can I use left over HA lip filler after two weeks? Like 3 or 4 weeks later?
Dr Gary, when is advised to return swimming in pools? Considering the chemicals in the pool in touch with the scar
Is it alright to brush ones teeth immediately/same day after the surgery?
Thank you so much for the information 🙏🏻
Yes and I'm booked in🤩
Would u advise microneedling on the lips? I have dissolved my lip filler but now they look crumpeled i wanna fix that but dont wanna go back to filler. Please help me doctor Gary
Thank you
How long should a guy wait to shave so the stitches and incision aren’t pulled on? I’m planning on getting a lift lift and worried about not being able to shave my face.
I have a technical question about the lip lift an different outcomes. I am lookingninto lip enhancements for myself, but also just generally interested.
I understand that it lies in the nature of the lip lift, that the medial potion of the lips gets lifted more, than the sides. But I think I wouldn't like that look so much for myself. I feel a more even enlargement from corner to corner would be my ideal.
Now...I've come accross a video here on UA-cam, where I feel like the result was more lifted on the lateral parts of the lip and I noticed that the surgeons constructed the shape of the incision line a bit differently from what I have seen you do. They seemed to keep the shape wider on the laterla parts, wider "bullhorns" if you will with wider tips. The radius of the lower line was bigger, where the horns curve around the side of the nostril, if that makes sense.
I feel like that enabled them to lift the sides of the mouth more because they could gather more tissue at the sides amd stich it upwards. Maybe these observations are unrelated, but a causal relation didcseem plausible to me. Is that just a matter of personal style or are there certain indications or contraindications for doing that? I guess it could put more tension on the scar at the corners of the nose, but it seemed to turn out fine.
Hi Dr. I have lip implants and like them but would they cause problems with getting a lip lift I really need one as my nose to top lift distance is very long
How much a procedure lip lift costs?
How does the scarring affect brown skin we are prone to hyperpigmentation so that’s my only concern
I had no idea! My lips do this naturally and I've always been a bit self conscious since a little portion of my front teeth show. Apparently some ppl love the look 😆 👄
The more I watch your channel, the better I feel about myself... ironic, isn't it.
how many cm is good to be between mouth and nose? 1 cm? Or 1.1? I had a lip lift, i had 1.8, now i have 1.4 and I would like 1.1
Hi Doc! Do you do procedures that act as permanent solutions to a lack of volume/hollow eyes?
Fat transfer or blepharoplasty
Have you had any cases where no teeth could be shown and after your procedure they could show teeth? I have maxillary hypoplasia.I have all my teeth just can't see them..38...jaw surgery is way too invasive
Is biocotneoum okay for breastfeeding moms? Additionally, could I apply to after scar skin laser resurfacing treatment (from cystic acne) on face?
How would a male who got a lip lift shave during the healing process?
Hi Doc Gary! I had tiplasty + alarplasty and around 2 months post op now. I noticed that my upper lips are dropped. I'm starting to regain some control on my upper lips.
Is it something that will go away after a year (when the columella is fully healed)?
Or will I have to undergo Lip Lift to get my smile back?
Dr I’m a male and my upper lip area hangs down so much it covers my top teeth even when I talk. I have to smile really hard to show my teeth. Is it worth doing only to remove a little? I don’t want to end up with a huge top lip. 😬
Very informative video. Thank you.
Is the Mayo Clinic a good place to have plastic surgery? Dec 7, 2023
Hey, can you please recommend some good doctor in Switserland or in EU to perform lip lift?
You could read the phone book to me and I'd still listen. So soothing. I like your videos. Greetings from Berlin, Germany.
I wish I lived in NY , i want you to be my surgeon but i live out of the country 🥺 you are very informative 😇
People fly in all the time 🤙
I was so disappointed when the surgeon told me I was not a candidate because it was for older people and my teeth would show too much… he even gave my my money back so the consultation was free.
But I had a nose job instead to make my nose fit my face better by being longer. 🤣☺️ so it worked out.
And I probably just want to tattoo my lips instead, like 1 mm outside and it makes such a difference.
You wanted to shorten your philtrum ?
I have the same issue , I am not sure the doctor will agree to do lip lift as well because I already have full lips and good amount of teeth showing but my nose is short and I find my philtrum too long.
So by augmenting your nose projection it worked for you?
I am 50 years old, and I had a lip lift done today. I could see how my upper lip was disappearing, and I have noticed a big difference over the last two years. That is why I decided to have a lip lift done. Now i will wait for the result. Your video is great in content with the recovery process.
I had the lip lift done on the 27th of December 2022, and today, i can say that I am so happy with the result! No regrets at all, and I wrote a great review on Google for my surgeon. I still feel a little tightness in the area, but I have to be patient and wait until the end of March for what will be, hopefully, my last checkup. Then, as soon as my doctor says I am OK, then, I will meet Morpheus8 and see what it can do for me. Without a doubt, I would make another liplift if I had to.
@@nettan44 who was your surgeon?
@Bernadette Deady I live in Spain and my surgeon was Mj Santana Maján. I can today say that I am so happy about the result, and it looks so natural. I would do it all over again. My next experience will be in October, but it is not surgery..
@@nettan44did he do the normal bullhorn lift? Did he use removable stitches? And did you do any laser or any procedure on scar?
@@VP-kr2vd The surgeon only referred to it as a lip lift, but yes, it looks like a “bullhorn lip lift “. Yes, removable stitches were used. No, no laser was used. I only used ointment, like a gel for quite some time. Now I am waiting to have my last treatment out of three of Morpheus 8.I can appreciate sone tightness on my skin, especially on ny neck but the great results will have to be through surgery.
Can you get a lip lift if you have braces or Invisalign?
If I could have any facial procedure, it would be this. I've lost quite a bit of my volume and my upper teeth are completely covered. I'll be 41 next week, and to me it's the only real sign of aging to my face(so far). Time to save my coins!🙂
Would you ever think of doing a video on what type of medication would be best taken to slow down hair loss? (Maybe following hair transplant)
Yeh. Working on it.
@@drgarylinkov thank you 😌
ha! that Arnica info is pretty relevant
Hey doc what’s your opinion of getting a hair transplant without using minoxidil or finasteride?
if prone to hairloss you'll just lose it again
How long should I wait after an open rhino before I get a lip lift? I’m concerned about the incisions and scarring
About 3 months
arnica DOES help for bruising! i had a huge bruise on side of my face and arnica definitly helped arnica gel is amazing too!
HI Doctor, do you perform V to Y? Could you make a video on this type of surgery and give us your opinion on it?
Rarely. Not as predictable of a surgery.
@@drgarylinkov I see. thank you very much!
Gotta say.... the Trust Factor you elicit from me is awesome.... whole new level of understanding and, well, trust 🤣💋for this sometimes awesome “ art form” , if you will. Hugs !
Just had today my lip lift I am loving it🥰
By Whom?
I'm wanting to consult with you in next couple years. Nose & lips.
do you/would you also treat patients coming over from europe? (given that one would stay in NY for a week total) I feel like german doctors have not perfected the lip lift like you do
We have people traveling in from all over the world for procedures. Happy to help.
Dr. Linkov, Can a lip lift in increase the size of the holes in your nostrils?
Danke, wollte eben dieselbe Frage stellen :)
@@missybeegood5359 Yes it can, if done incorrectly. It can make them more noticeable, if not larger (this happened in my case).
I want this but I’m 18 scared of keloid scar. Is 18 too young??
What would you recommend if after having a lip lift procedure and the area of where the sutures were have hardness or lumps under the skin, where the nostrils are? Will this go away on its own? I also still get numbness...I am 6 weeks post op. Thanks
You should massage the scar.
I had a sub-nasal lip lift with a facelift 3 yrs ago using a top plastic surgeon in NC. The facelift was good but the lip lift left hypertrophic scarring and long-term discoloration even after painful scar injections. I don't recommend it because even well-trained surgeons can mess it up, take too much or too little (as in my case). Plus he used dissolvable stitches (that don't always dissolve and cause cause scarring.)
To this day I still have itching, uneven texture around the outside of my nose & significant hyperpigmentation.
Wow that definitely makes me rethink looking into this procedure. In a later video Dr Linkov advises doing this procedure on it’s own. I wonder if you’d have problems if it wasn’t done at the same time as your facelift. I hope that went well for you. Thanks for sharing!
Who was your surgeon?
@@bernadettedeady4909 Carolina Facial Plastics (only one surgeon works there).
I’m getting this done in a few weeks and my surgeon will use dissolvable stitches now I’m worried about the scarring
@@user-et3tf8og9qi hate dissolvable sutures because your skin must absorb them as a foreign object and they create more inflammation in skin and scars than removable sutures do. I always ask for the surgeon to use removable sutures. You must simply ask your surgeon what you want to use and he will agree. Surgeons use dissolvable sutures because patients usually can't or don't want to wait 6-7 days in the city they are traveling to in order to wait for the dr to remove the sutures. But if you have time, then get removable sutures!! I just got my lip lift in turkey and the doctor was going to give me dissolvable sutures and i said nooooo.😂
Dr. Gary...
Is it possible to do a Lip Lift AND Nostril Reduction at the same time?
I'm not dr and your comment is over a year old but yes you can get both at same time.
I had a lip lift (by a different doctor) and my top lip is still totally numb a year later and stiff looking. I wish I never did it!!!!!
Reconstructive cheekbone implant here 👋.
What about possible nerve or muscle damage/loss of sensation in the upper lip or moustache area?
Does that happen to a lot of people?
I'm really interested in a minor lip lift.
Toronto here but willing to travel for one of the best surgeons.
And will using silicone strips cut very small help the scar?
What is your opinion on someone getting a lip lift whilst going through braces (Invisalign) treatment?
It really does not make much of a difference.
This procedure is very hard for me to no notice it I had meet tons of people because I wanted to do it myself but even if the scar is very small in the overall there is something that looks uncanny valley. For many is the way they talk in my experience meeting them
Do you have to go under for this procedure or can a local anesthetic be used? Thank you for your videos.
Local can be used (I did it w/my facelift under local).
Hello doctor. I have gummy smile but also i have a long philtrum. Can I have a lip lift? I really don't like my philtrum but I talked to two doctors in my city and they told me that because my upper teeth appear when I talk, surgery would worsen my gummy smile and teeth appearing. What can I do? 😶
Tough situation but often we can get away with some philtral reduction without worsening the gum show much.
Thank you I really need to see this and understand, It has been one month since I had my lip lift and I feel a terrible stiffness and my nostrils are not the same they look open, and not to mention I cannot smile without looking extremely strange , I'm 44
Just wondering how your results are now that several months have passed?
@@christinahighsmith4453 the stiffness is ceasing, supposedly I will see the final result after 6 months .. I look prettier than I was, in terms of beauty standards.. my scar looks bad , but its just me
@@christinahighsmith4453 Also I put a little bit of filler and it looks much better I believe that now I can reach the "Russian lip" type of lip
Mar Estrada I think the added filler probably resulted in a beautiful look! That is probably what I will do if I ever get the surgery. Judging by your thumbnail photo, you would look beautiful regardless!
What’s the price for a lip lift in NY? More or less…
Hi new sub! I have autoimmune diseases &Its taken a lot out of my body like hair, some teeth,😔,&etc. I think I’d benefit from having a lip procedure(s?) I wish I could have tht done it would make me feel better abt myself. Tht would be so awesome to have more confidence abt myself🙌 mentally,emotionally,&physically🙌 thanks for the vids doc👏👍 I’ll be yr patient we can document it😉🙂
Hiw nuch and what city?
Does the skin under the lips ever show after this surgery?
The lip gets rolled out so yes sort of, but it’s pink lip.
I find your videos to be fascinating and informative, thanx!
Glad I can help! Don’t forget to subscribe
can I schedule a virtual consult pls
It’s day four, I need to see a visual of what it looks like 😮
Hiii doctor, Can u plsss do Jane Fonda plastic surgery plsss I really love ur videos
What about dark skin?
I had a bullhorn lift done in Barcelona. It healed in about a week, I don’t have a scar, even though I didn’t use the scar products the doctor talks about. It’s true it felt tight for some time but nothing too uncomfortable. It was about 1,300 euros- no regrets.
Hey Rachel that sounds brilliant 👌can you share where and who did you procedure? How long in total before you totally healed? Thanks..
@@pamelabyrne1474 doctor Joan San Miguel in Pedralbes Clinic. As I said the wound healed in about a week externally, after that I felt the area was tight but didn’t stop me from doing anything. If you saw a picture of me, you wouldn’t know there’s a scar. You can find the clinic in Instagram or just Google the surgeon’s name.
@@racheldiaz9495 thanks Rachel your a 😇
Where did you get it done? And who did the procedure? Cant find the answer in the comments? :D
@@zarahakita2194 doctor Joan San Miguel at Pedralbes Clinic in Barcelona.
So Dr Gary, have you had any plastic surgery or injection treatment?
Not yet 😉
Doctor would you recommend DHT blockers for younger men say 21 plus ? Also can you please make a video on this or a way to slow down thinning
Yes often we do. Video coming soon.
@@drgarylinkov 🥺🥺🥺DOC THANK YOU SO MUCH , I’ll wait before I pull the trigger on one !!
This is a really dumb question, but I often use a saline nose spray (Xlear) for allergies (depending on the season). Would I be able to use this after a lip lift? I wish surgeons who share techniques would start a network. IE if a patient in the south gets refered by you to an affilaite in their area, you could get a referal fee and vise versa. Not all lip lifts are the same and it is soooo evident by before and after photos from various surgeons. In Poland there is doctor whos sutures are so fine, the scar is nearly invisible. He has some kind of unique after care protocol too if i recall…But I don’t think he is sharing that technique with anyone because it gives him an edge in the business and people travel from all over the world to get that procedure done by him.
What's his name?
Can you post the dr name please
What about lift surgery for a man, how does our mustache/beard growth complicate/irritate and/or cause additional pain throughout this long process?
Surprisingly it’s not any different.
Hi Dr!! Thank you so much for the great video! Would you not recommend based on someone’s nose shape? My nose has a very small bridge so my nostrils and nose base is very visible.. would you say the scaring would also be too visible to have this procedure done?
I’ve operated on all types of nasal bases, and it works. Best when the nasal sills are prominent.
@@drgarylinkov thank you very much Dr! It is great to find a face specialist. Now I know where to go if I ever decide to get it done!
I've been planning on getting this done for years, but for a while Dr. Youn scared me off of it. 🙄
It can be scary when you don’t have all the information. Once informed it becomes less scary. But for some, the risks still outweigh the benefits.
I need one really bad, but the scar just puts me off. Also all the bacteria that comes from your nose passing by it constantly, worries me. Man that would not be a good place to get an infection.
@@EtreTocsin I operate in that area of the face almost every day and have never seen a surgical site infection there for what that's worth.
Are yoy *scar* ed? Nooo, huns!!! A high skilled surgeon knows where to cut and how to seed. And, if something doesn' t scar perfectly, he will fix it with plenty of posible procedures. You are not introducing anything extrange in your body. So, after a full recovering, you forget forever. No manteinance, no re re refilling...
Do it!!! But as everything in life, find *a true pro* ✨✨✨✨✨✨
🧛🏻♀️💜
I've never even heard of this procedure.
