What is Lip Lift Surgery?

Lip Lift Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, enhancing lip volume and creating a youthful appearance. As we age, the lips can sag, thin, and elongate. Lip Lift Surgery addresses these changes, making the upper lip more prominent and improving overall facial aesthetics.

How is Lip Lift Surgery Performed?

Lip Lift Surgery involves removing excess skin and fat tissue between the nose and upper lip. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about one hour. Aesthetic stitches are applied to the treated area, which are removed approximately one week later. Scar cream is then used to minimize scarring.

What are the Surgical Lip Lift Techniques?

Several techniques are used in Lip Lift Surgery to achieve the desired results:

  • Direct Lip Lift: This technique lifts a part of the lip skin from under the nostril, making the pink part of the lips more prominent.
  • Bullhorn Lip Lift: Involves removing a portion of the lip skin from both sides of the nostril, enhancing the pink part of the lips.
  • Central Lip Lift: Lifts the lip skin upwards from the middle of the nostril, pulling the tips of the lips upward to emphasize the pink area.
  • Corner Lip Lift: Removes a part of the lip skin from the corners, lifting the lips upward.
  • Italian Lip Lift: Lifts the lip skin from under the nostril, similar to the Direct Lip Lift.

What is Non-Surgical Lip Lift?

Non-Surgical Lip Lift involves injecting filler under the pink part of the lips. This procedure makes the pink part of the lips more visible and can also increase the overall size of the lips.

How Long Does Lip Lift Surgery Take?

The duration of Lip Lift Surgery can vary depending on the technique used and any additional aesthetic procedures. The operation, performed under local anesthesia, typically takes about one hour, and hospitalization is not required. Generally, one day is sufficient for the procedure and initial recovery.

Pre-Procedure Considerations for Lip Lift Surgery

  • Inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including chronic diseases, past illnesses, genetic conditions, and current medications.
  • Reduce or stop smoking before the procedure, as nicotine can slow down the healing process.

Post-Procedure Care for Lip Lift Surgery

  • Protect your lips from hard impacts.
  • Avoid exposing your lips to extreme heat or cold.
  • Use prescribed medications regularly as directed by your doctor.
  • Reduce or stop smoking post-surgery to ensure optimal healing.

By following these guidelines, patients can ensure a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible results from their Lip Lift Surgery.
