Lip Lift

WHAT IS LIP LIFT?

If the lip-nose distance is longer than normal due to various reasons, this condition causes the person to look older and sulky. The lip lift procedure offers a very effective solution to this problem. This procedure that can be defined as lip lift surgery, is a surgical procedure intended to shorten the existing excess distance.

How is the Lip Lift Procedure Performed?

Of course, injection of hyaluronic acid filler is the most important technique for obtaining voluminous lips in the lip lift procedure. However, lip lift surgery is a more suitable option in cases where the problem is completely down-turned, inward lips with unclear borders, and where these are accompanied by a long nose-lip distance.

In the procedure that usually takes about half an hour and is performed under general or local anesthesia, the excess skin is removed by making an incision from the lower level of the nose that extends along the nasal wings, and the two planes are then joined by pulling the lip upwards. Incision lines, the extent of the reduction of the nose-lip distance, and how much the area will be stretched are of great importance for a good result in lip lift, which is a surgical procedure that leaves incision scars.

Who Are Suitable Candidates For Lip Lift, And How Is Its Recovery Period?

A thin tape is left on the incision line after the lip lift procedure, which should be preferred mostly in middle age and later due to age-related loss of lip volume and the increased lip-nose distance. Almost all of the suture sites are found to be healed when the thin tapes are removed after about 10 days.

Self-dissolving sutures does not require any suture removal process. Creams can be recommended to accelerate the healing process. In addition, it should be noted that the lip lift procedure is a surgical procedure that leaves scars, which become hardly visible over time but never disappear completely.
