What is Lip Lift Operation?

Lip lift operation is a surgical procedure performed to provide a more aesthetic, prominent and fuller appearance of the lips. This procedure usually aims to lift the upper lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip. In the direction of this targeted ğlan, the facial proportions are made more balanced and the patient is provided with a younger profile. Within the scope of this procedure, minimal incisions are made along the base of the nose or around the lip, excess skin is carefully removed and the upper lip is fixed upwards and placed in its new position. Thus, while increasing lip fullness, a more attractive smile is achieved by making the upper teeth slightly visible.

How is Lip Lift Procedure Performed?

The lip lift operation, which aims to give the lips a fuller, more prominent and aesthetic appearance by shortening the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose, is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30-60 minutes. This process is completed by carefully removing the excess skin between the upper lip and the base of the nose and fixing the upper lip upwards. Thus, the upper teeth are slightly visible, giving the facial expression a more youthful and attractive appearance. At the same time, the person feels better both mentally and physically.

What are the Types of Lip Lift?

There are 2 different types of lip lift applied in Turkey. These lip lift types are determined according to the needs of the person. To take a detailed look at these lip lift types in detail;

Direct Lip Lift

Direct lip lift is a surgical lip lift method performed with an incision made directly along the lip line to make the upper lip look more prominent and fuller. This technique is called “direct” because it is a procedure that is usually performed on the edges of the lips, not under the nose. Within the scope of the procedure in question, a small incision is made just below the upper lip contour, removing excess skin and fixing the upper lip upwards. Thus, the natural volume of the lips is increased and the upper lip is made more prominent.

Corner Lip Lift

Corner lip lift is a surgical lip lift procedure performed to correct conditions where the corners of the lips are turned downward, creating a tired or sad expression. In this procedure, small, triangular incisions are made in the corners of the lips and the skin is carefully removed and the corners of the lips are lifted upwards. This gives the facial expression a more energetic, youthful and smiling appearance. At the same time, since the incisions are made in the corners of the lips and skin folds, the scars are minimal and lose their prominence over time.

Lip Lift Techniques

There are 4 different lip lift techniques applied in Turkey. These techniques are very effective techniques and are applied according to the needs of the patient. In this context, lip lift techniques applied in Turkey are as follows;

V-Y Advancement Lip Lift

V-Y advancement lip lift is a lip lift method that is performed with incisions made on the inside of the lips and leaves no external scar. In this technique, “V” shaped incisions are made in the lip mucosa and these incisions are transformed into a “Y” shape and the lip is lifted upwards. Since only the inner part of the lip is worked on during the procedure, no external incision is made. This ensures that there are no visible scars. This V-Y advancement lip lift is generally preferred for people who want to increase the volume of the upper lip and give it a fuller appearance. Because it works without changing the lip line, a natural result is obtained.

Gullwing Lip Lift

Gullwing lip lift is a technique that aims to lift the upper lip up and make it more prominent with an incision made along the lip line. In this method, an incision is made along the natural lip line just below the upper lip and the skin is removed after the incision and the upper lip is fixed upwards. After fixation, the volume of the lips increases and the lip is made to look fuller and more prominent. However, since the incision is made close to the lip line, the scars may be more visible compared to other methods. For this reason, gullwing lip lift is usually applied to patients who have a prominent natural lip line and accept the risk of scarring. It is a suitable method for people who want aesthetically striking lips and offers permanent results.

Bullhorn Lip Lift

Bullhorn lip lift is one of the most popular lip lift techniques and is performed with a "bullhorn" shaped incision following the natural folds under the nose. These incisions are made along the base of the nose and the excess skin in this area is removed and the upper lip is lifted up. Thus, the distance between the nose and lips is shortened after the procedure and the upper lip becomes more prominent and full. This highly advantageous Bullhorn lip lift technique is frequently preferred by both women and men, and long-term, natural results are achieved.

Subnasal Lip Lift (Italian Lip Lift)

Subnasal lip lift is a lip lift technique performed with small and symmetrical incisions made under both nostrils under the nose. Also known as the "Italian lip lift", this method is less invasive and is suitable for patients who want to slightly shorten the nose-lip distance. In this context, in the Italian lip lift procedure, a small amount of skin is removed from the incisions made under the nostrils and the upper lip is lifted upwards. In this way, more natural and small differences are revealed.

The Importance of Lip Lift Procedure After Facial Paralysis

Lip lift after facial paralysis is of great importance in terms of providing functional improvement as well as aesthetic improvement. Because facial paralysis can disrupt the symmetry of the lips and create both aesthetic and functional problems. In particular, basic facial movements such as speaking, eating and smiling become difficult. At this point, lip lift helps to reshape the lips and bring them into the correct position, thus regaining both the aesthetic balance of the face and its functionality. Thus, the sad or asymmetrical appearance caused by facial paralysis is corrected, and the patient is given a more natural and aesthetic facial expression.
