Liplift Surgery
Normally, an attractive female shows several millimeters of incisal edge in repose. In the same situation, this patient would show several millimeters of gingiva when smiling. Patients who do not show any incisor at rest or gingiva when smiling realize that their aesthetics are skewed but are not sure why.
For deciding a liplift surgery first of all, facial features of persons who are interested in an upper lip lift surgery are checked. The length of the distance between the nose and lip must be measured, while the person is resting, that is, when his/her lips are not moving. In fact, perpendicular length of the upper lip extends to almost the length of the lower lip-chin. This feature is a sufficient reason for considering the upper lip shortening application, in order to create more harmony and balance.
The skin between the upper lip and nostrils is called the philtrum, and by slightly reducing its height, the upper lip is flipped out - without the ‘duck pout’ appearance that fillers sometime achieve while chasing this look.
The goal of the lip lift procedure is to shorten the upper lip and evert the vermilion, which results in a more volumized “rolled-out” lip. When measuring the lip from the bottom of the philtrum to the top of the vermilion, excessive length is generally considered more than 20mm.
Lip lift surgery is performed through a small incision. A small incision is made to the intersection between the nose and the upper lip. At this point, it is important to work with a specialist physician to ensure the accuracy of the incision. Otherwise, there may be traces in this area. An incision is made with great experience and meticulousness, and the excess area is removed. With lip lift, which is a very practical and easy procedure, you can have the most proportioned and stylish lip structure for your face with a natural appearance in a short time.
The procedure lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
After lip lift procedure; oedema, numbness, pain and swelling may appear. Cold compress may minimize the swelling. Pain is controlled by low-dose pain medication. These situations are temporary.
There is a recovery period of 1 week. Sutures are removed 5 days after surgery.
Lip lift is a permanent procedure. So there is no need to make additional procedures.
