Procedure Details
Lip Lift involves the removal of a small strip of skin from the area just under the nose, which shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip. This procedure enhances the lip’s appearance, providing a more pronounced and natural curve. The technique can be customized based on your needs and desired results.
Steps of the Surgery
- Consultation: A personalized consultation will help design the optimal approach to your lip enhancement.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be used to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Incisions: A small incision is made under the nose, following the natural curve of the nostrils.
- Lip Enhancement: The skin is carefully removed, and the lip is lifted to the desired position.
- Closure: The incision is closed with fine sutures in several layers to ensure low tension on the skin in order to result in a barely visible scar hidden at the base of the nose.
Mild swelling and bruising in the first days, suture removal within a week, and final results visible in 2-3 months as swelling subsides.
