Lip Lift

Lip Lift, also known as upper lip lift operation, is a lip augmentation procedure to eliminate the need for lip injections and lip implants. When the vermillion part (lip part) on the lips is narrow, the upper lip appears thin and the distance between the nose and the lip appears long accordingly.

In Lip Lift, the upper lip lift surgery, it is aimed to create an angel wing effect on the lips by reducing the Philtrun Ridge distance between the nose and the lip. Lip Lift is an effective and long-term lip augmentation and restructuring procedure that eliminates the need for lip injections and lip implants.

With the advancing age, the fullness and volume of the lips decrease. Lips that experience a decrease in volume and fullness add an old and tired expression to our face. The distance between the upper lip and the nose is getting longer, which causes the upper teeth to appear hanging. In some people, the long and thin upper lip form, which is seen genetically, pushes facial aesthetics to the background rather than bringing it to the fore. 

Regardless of age, women aim to achieve attractive lips with perfect permanence with the Lip Lift operation. Lip Lift eliminates the costs that require constant payment for applications such as lip prosthesis, lip silicone or filling procedures.

Lip Lift surgery is a type of operation that targets the upper lip and makes the person smile, while making the lips look voluminous and full. With Lip Lift, an aesthetic appearance is obtained together with the lower lip in people with thin upper lip and an increase in volume is provided.

Lip Lift operation is extremely comfortable. In Lip Lift surgery, the length between the nose and the upper lip is removed by taking a strip of skin and tissue and the distance is shortened. After the excess skin is removed, the incision section is stitched together. The incision section is closed in layers and the necessary sutures are placed under the skin to provide sufficient strength to the lip. After the deep sutures are placed under the skin, the skin edges are meticulously aligned and the incision is made as less visible as possible. With Lip Lift, the Cupid arc (two peaks on the upper lip) is reshaped, redefining the distance between the upper lip and the under nose. 

Many plastic surgeons consider the ideal size of this area to be between 12 and 15 mm. With the lip lift, the muscles in this section are compressed and the upper lip is reshaped. The shaping procedure takes an average of 1 hour and the recovery period varies between about 5-7 days.
