Lip Lift
A lip lift surgery addresses concerns about the length of the upper lip, specifically when the red part of the lips is less visible and the distance between the upper lip and nose appears long. This procedure shortens the lip-to-nose distance, creating a fuller and more prominent upper lip, resulting in a more balanced and youthful appearance.
Key Points to Differentiate from Lip Fillers
- Purpose: Lip lift addresses length of the upper lip, while lip fillers focus on volume of both lips.
- Results: Lip lifts provide permanent changes, while lip fillers offer temporary enhancements requiring periodic re-injection.
Procedure Overview
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia, depending on individual preferences and surgeon's recommendation.
- Surgical Technique: A small incision is made strategically in the crease beneath the nose, minimizing visibility.
- Tissue Removal: A precise amount of skin is carefully removed to shorten the lip-to-nose distance.
- Closure: Meticulous suturing techniques ensure accurate alignment and minimal scarring.
- Recovery: Typically 5-7 days, with stitches removed within five days and gradual return to social life.
Important Considerations!
This is a permanent surgical procedure, requiring careful consideration and realistic expectations. Understand potential risks and complications, like any surgery, and discuss them thoroughly with Dr Varsak.
