Lip Lift Surgery

Plump and shaped lips are among the key elements of a feminine look in today’s world. Lip augmentation, which is one of the most frequently performed procedures when it comes to filling applications, offers people a much fuller and shaped lip appearance. However, lip augmentation is not a permanent procedure. On average, the process needs to be renewed between 18 and 24 months. Lip Lift, which we call Lip Lift, is a good option for patients who like the appearance of full and shaped lips but do not want to have lip filling applications repeatedly.

What is lip lift surgery?

Lip lift surgery is a lip reshaping surgery that shortens the distance between the lip and the nose and makes the lips more visible. Since the upper lip is made more visible after this operation, it can often be considered as an alternative to lip augmentation.

Why is lip lift surgery needed?

Depending on many reasons such as genetic factors and aging, our lips may be thin or may lose their volume over time and become a fine line. Many people who desire a fuller appearance can apply for lip augmentation at this point, especially to make their upper lip more prominent. However, those who are looking for a more permanent procedure other than filling and want their upper lip to be shaped and prominent need lip lift surgery.

Lip Lift Surgery

Lip lift surgery is a very comfortable operation. In lip lift surgery performed safely in a full-fledged hospital, an incision is made from the lower part of the nose from the wings. At this point, the incision is made in layers to preserve the shape of the lip. Excess skin is removed and stretching is performed and the upper lip is taken upwards. In lip lift surgery, in which the “cupid arc” (two different peaks on the upper lip) is aligned and reshaped, after the excess skin is removed, suturing is started. Here, it is important to set the distance correctly in order not to restrict the movement of the lips in the future.

Lip Lift Surgery Recovery Process

Patients do not need to stay in the hospital after lip lift surgery. They can be discharged on the same day. Swelling and edema of the lips are expected in the first 48 hours after the procedure. Stitches are removed in an average of 5-6 days. Afterwards, one can easily return to social life.

Will there be any scars after lip lift surgery?

In lip lift surgery, the incision is made from the lower part of the nose and the point where the nose wings meet the face.
