Lip lift procedure is performed in case of elongation of the upper lip and asymmetry between the lips. Conditions such as the lips being incompatible with the facial anatomy or being longer than the chin will also cause some symmetry problems. Some patients even avoid smiling due to problems with lip structure and asymmetries. Lip lift procedures are used to balance the proportion between the lines in order to achieve a natural lip appearance. This ensures voluminous and symmetrical looking lips.
Lip Lift Surgery Techniques
Should the upper lip be vertically long, it should be shortened and the excess skin should be removed. For this purpose, the technique is determined before the operation depending on the desired lip size.
In the first method, the red lip contour is removed through a small section in the skin. This allows the upper lip to be shorter and higher. With this favored lip lift surgery technique, a scar remains adjacent to the red lip contour on the upper lip.
The second technique requires an incision to be made under the junction of the nose and upper lip and the distance between them is shortened. Removing excess skin on the upper lip allows the lip to be higher.
In lip lift aesthetics, treatment should be performed in a manner compatible with the patient’s facial anatomy.
