Lip Lift

The next step after providing the visual suitability conditions for lip lift surgery is the evaluation of whether the person’s health status is suitable for surgical intervention. Before creating the procedure chart , the plastic surgeon who will perform the operation investigates the presence of conditions that may adversely affect the operation process and the post-operative recovery period, with physical examinations and blood tests that he deems necessary. At this stage, the candidate for lip lift surgery should fully share information about his general health status with his doctor.

Lip lift procedure should be planned by measuring. The length of the distance between the upper lip and the nose should be determined in accordance with the patient’s face. In lip lift surgery, an incision is made just under the nose and the excess skin is removed. After the binding and sewing phase of the skin is completed, the sutured part is aligned towards the fold under the nose wings. Lip lift is a simple surgical operation that takes less than 1 hour. The surgery can be performed with local anesthesia or sedation .

After lip lift surgery, the patient can be discharged on the same day. Swelling may be seen in the operation area for the first 3 days. With the application of cold compress, the existing edema is reduced and resolved in a short time. Post-operative stitches are removed 5 days later. It takes 1 week for recovery and return to daily life. Severe pain is not expected after lip lift surgeries. Mild pain that may occur due to the operation can be controlled with painkillers. Since the incision scars are hidden under the nasal folds, they do not cause an uncomfortable visual. It is expected that the scars formed in the surgical incision area will disappear over time. The numbness that may occur in the operation area after the operation is temporary, and this situation disappears in a short time with the cold compress to be applied.

One of the most curious issues about the results of lip lift surgeries is whether a natural appearance can be achieved. Lips that are shaped by positioning the upper lip upwards without using any filler material become more shaped and fuller than before. If a correct mathematical calculation is made, an artificial appearance due to the transaction will not occur. Achieving the desired natural results depends on the conditions under which this surgery is performed. It should never be forgotten that not only for lip lift aesthetics, but also all aesthetic surgery procedures should be performed by experienced specialists in proven clinics, and careless choices in this regard can lead to results that are difficult or impossible to compensate for, both in terms of health and vision. After the lip lift surgery performed under suitable conditions , there is no need to wait for a long time to see the result of the procedure.
