LIP LIFT

The aesthetic improvement of the lips, both for morphological enhancement purposes, and for rejuvenation purposes, is usually carried out through so-called “fillers”, ie filling injections. In case of very thin and slightly projected lips, the treatment or increase with a filler can cause an unnatural appearance and is therefore not advisable. In these cases, however, it is useful to achieve greater upper lip exposure by a small procedure designed to reduce the white lip height between the nose and the red lip while at the same time lifting and projecting the upper lip forward.

This procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and consists of an incision at the base of the nose followed by the upward movement of the upper lip, which is then stabilized in the new seat. Minimal swelling and a slight limitation in the movement of the mouth are the only bland sequences of the post-operative phase, while the minimal residual scar becomes almost invisible even after a short time. Stitches are removed after one week. The result is permanent.

To increase the vertical size of the lip, another option is possible, a mucous translation from the oral vestibule (the outer part of the oral cavity, in front of the teeth) to the outside, thereby obtaining an increase in the red lip component by means of a ‘ completely hidden intraoral incision.

Once lifted, the lip can also be treated with a filler to make it even more pleasant.
