Op. Dr. Burak Pasinlioğlu - Face Surgery - Lip Aesthetics (Lip Lift)
Among the aesthetic applications for the facial area, operations on the nose, lips and cheeks are the first applications that come to mind. For the lip area, there are many types of aesthetic applications with or without surgery. Lip lift surgery, also known as lip lift, is among the frequently preferred operations in this region. This procedure is mostly applied by people who are not satisfied with the length of the upper lip area. Thanks to lip lift surgery, the space between the upper lip and the nose is shortened. Thus, the person has proportional and aesthetic facial features.
The image and vigorous appearance obtained with lip lift surgery can be maintained for a long time. Considering the increase in age, loss of elasticity of the skin and the effects of gravity, the distance between the nose and lips may increase again over time. However, a very long time must pass for this to happen. Considering all these, it can be said that the permanence period of lip lift surgery is quite long.
Regardless of which technique is preferred for lip lift surgery, local anesthesia is applied to the patient. With local anesthesia, only the lips and the area around the lips are numbed. The patient does not feel any pain during surgery. Depending on the problem in the lip area of the person to be operated on and the application technique, the lip lift operation takes an average of 1 hour. Lip lift, which is a very simple and safe application, does not cause pain. After the operation is completed, the patient can return home on the same day.
After lip lift surgery, some edema or swelling can be expected, as in many other aesthetic operations. The average recovery time of these expected swelling may take approximately 1 week.
Local anesthesia is preferred in lip aesthetics.
Movements that strain the lips should be avoided. Care should be taken when consuming food and beverages. Since harmful habits such as smoking will slow down the healing process, it is recommended to take a break for a while.
Lip aesthetics, also known as lip enhancement or lip augmentation, refers to various techniques aimed at improving the shape, size, and fullness of the lips. Lip aesthetics can help enhance the natural appearance of the lips, making them more attractive and aesthetically pleasing. Here is more information about lip aesthetics:
Lip aesthetics can be performed using various methods:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Hyaluronic acid fillers, which are temporary fillers, are one of the most commonly used methods to enhance lip fullness and shape.
Permanent Fillers: Permanent filler materials can be used to provide long-lasting lip fullness, and they are preferred for patients seeking more permanent results.
Bullhorn Lip Lift: Also known as subnasal lip lift, this technique involves making an incision under the nose to lift the upper lip, and it is one of the most commonly performed lip lift procedures.
Central Lip Lift: Similar to the bullhorn lip lift, this technique involves making an incision in the middle of the upper lip to lift it.
Corner Lip Lift: This technique aims to lift the corners of the lips and involves making incisions at the corners of the lips.
Gullwing Lip Lift: Used to enhance the definition of the lip border, this technique involves making an incision where the lip tissue ends.
Lip aesthetic surgeries are performed using a technique determined based on the patient’s health, lip structure, and preferences. They are usually performed under local anesthesia, and all necessary precautions are taken to ensure the patient’s comfort during and after the procedure.
After lip aesthetic surgery, there are some important points that patients should keep in mind:
Healing Process: It is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations carefully to manage the healing process effectively.
Lip Care: Postoperative lip care is crucial. Patients should moisturize and protect their lips using the products recommended by their doctor.
Activities: Avoiding heavy exercises and excessive lip movements is important during the recovery period.
Smoking: Smoking should be avoided after surgery, as it can negatively affect the healing process.
Lip aesthetics can help patients achieve fuller, shapelier, and more aesthetically pleasing lips. However, like any surgical procedure, lip aesthetic surgeries should be carefully planned and performed by a skilled surgeon.
