Lip lift operation is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose and to achieve a fuller, youthful and uplifted appearance on the upper lip. This procedure is popular with people who have a reduced upper lip length that usually occurs with the aging process, or those who have a naturally thin or flat upper lip.
During the lip lift operation, a part of the skin on the upper lip is removed and a shorter upper lip image is created by lifting the lip fold upwards. This process helps to hide the lip fold and provides a younger, fuller and attractive appearance on the upper lip.
The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia and is usually completed in a short time. Some side effects such as swelling, bruising or discomfort may occur after the procedure. The recovery process can vary between individuals, but can usually return to normal activities within a few weeks.
Since the lip lift operation is a surgical procedure, it is important to have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon before making a decision. The surgeon will allow you to understand your expectations and evaluate the most suitable options for you.
