WHAT IS THE LIP LIFTING METHOD IN TURKEY?

Beauty is among the first items on the agenda of all women. Nowadays, it is now possible to achieve quite impressive results with small touches. Especially the lips, which are the most noticeable area around the face, play a big role in facial expression.

Lip lifting, which is often preferred by those who are not satisfied with the length of the upper lip area or the shape of the lips, gives the lips a completely different look.

Turkey Medicals member and Istanbul JCI hospital head of department Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Professor Doctor gave information about lip lifting and lip filler process…

Having a plump and proportional lip structure is one of the symbols of attractiveness today as it was in the past. Lip fillers are among the clinical procedures that are most often used to complete facial aesthetics in individuals with structurally thin lip structure, and in some patients to eliminate wrinkles caused by age-related facial movements. The number of people who want to have proportional and plump lips is also increasing day by day. However, some patients may not be able to get aesthetically satisfactory results only when lip filler is applied.
.

Lip lifting for patients who want an increase in lip volume but do not want an artificial appearance using a large amount of filler has been gaining increasing popularity for several years due to the fact that it is a natural solution.

Filling the lips that have lost volume

Visible differences such as changes in the shape of the lips and paleness of color can occur due to aging. Lips that experience volume loss over time may need to be intervened from the outside. In addition to women who have structurally thin lips, fillers can also be a very impressive solution for lips that have lost their moisture and color. It is also possible to treat the striped appearance on the lips, which is considered a symbol of femininity, thanks to fillers.

What is lip lifting?

Depending on age or after incorrect and repeated filling applications, in patients who have an elongation in the area called the dectrum between the upper lip and nose, this area is shortened and the lip red area is moved higher, and the process is called lip lifting application.

Dividing the face into three horizontally, the distance between the upper lip and nose in the lower 1/3 part is 1-1.618 the distance between the lower lip and the tip of the jaw is defined as the golden ratio for the lower facial region. Lip lifting is considered one of the most frequently used methods in patients who want to have this ratio aesthetically.

Lip lifting supports the ideal smile

People with a longer upper lip than they should have, not having their teeth visible when smiling can cause them to lose their ideal facial expression. Lip lifting is becoming very popular in these patients because it provides a permanent solution.

Processing time: 35 minutes

Type of anesthesia: Local anesthesia

Recovery time is 7 days: The stitches can be taken off and returned to everyday life immediately It is recommended to avoid excessive facial expressions for the first week and not to lie face down.

Permanence of the procedure: It is a permanent method and it takes a very long time for re-elongation to occur with the effect of gravity on the upper lip.

Filling process can be applied after lip lifting

In lip lifting operations, skin tissue that is considered excessive is removed by an incision made under the nose in the area where the upper lip and nose meet. The sutures in the incision, which are closed in layers, are inserted into the skin. After the skin edges are aligned to avoid showing the incision, the peaks above the lip, called the cupid arc, are shaped. Lip plumping and lip lifting operations can be performed together. After this procedure, the filling process can also be applied to those who want to have fuller lips.

Age limit

The procedures that can be done to everyone over the age of 18 are preferred in order to recover the lips that droop with age or to eliminate the unhappy expression that occurs on the face. Because the distance between the upper lip and between nose can expand under the influence of gravity in people who have started signs of aging. In addition, the lips are pale and can be seen as if they have lost texture.
.

To reduce all these effects, it is often recommended to do lip lifting and lip filler together.
