Lip Lift Surgery
Lip lift surgery is a surgical procedure aimed at shortening the distance between the upper lip and the nose, allowing the lips to achieve a more prominent, youthful, and aesthetic appearance. With the aging process, the upper lip can lengthen over time, the lip border can turn inward, and the lips may appear as though they have lost volume.
The primary goal of lip lift surgery is not to provide artificial volume to the lips, but to reveal their natural anatomical structure. In this regard, it differs from lip fillers and offers a more permanent, natural result.
Who Is Lip Lift Surgery Suitable For?
Lip lift surgery is a suitable option for individuals whose upper lip distance is long according to facial proportions, whose upper teeth are not sufficiently visible when smiling, or who feel that their lips have thinned over time. It can also be preferred by individuals who have not achieved sufficient satisfaction from filler applications or who are looking for a surgical alternative to fillers.
Before the surgery, the lip structure, the nose-to-lip distance, and the general aesthetic balance of the face are evaluated. Planning is carried out specifically for each individual.
Lip Lift Surgery Process
Lip lift surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia. During surgery, a small incision is made along the crease at the base of the nose, excess skin is removed, and the upper lip is repositioned upward. Since the incisions are hidden within natural folds, surgical scars become unnoticeable over time.
The procedure time is generally short, and same-day discharge is possible. When necessary, a lip lift can be combined with lip fillers or other facial aesthetic applications.
Recovery After Lip Lift
Mild swelling and a feeling of tension are normal in the first days following the surgery. These effects decrease in a short period. Most patients can return to their daily lives within a few days. The results provide a more distinct contour to the lips and a youthful expression.
With correct patient selection and an expert approach, lip lift surgery offers a natural aesthetic improvement without disturbing the lip-facial balance.
