Lip Aesthetics (Lip Lift)
Among the aesthetic applications for the facial area, operations on the nose, lips and cheeks are the first applications that come to mind. For the lip area, there are many types of aesthetic applications with or without surgery. Lip lift surgery, also known as lip lift, is among the frequently preferred operations in this region. This procedure is mostly applied by people who are not satisfied with the length of the upper lip area. Thanks to lip lift surgery, the space between the upper lip and the nose is shortened. Thus, the person has proportional and aesthetic facial features.
The image and vigorous appearance obtained with lip lift surgery can be maintained for a long time. Considering the increase in age, loss of elasticity of the skin and the effects of gravity, the distance between the nose and lips may increase again over time. However, a very long time must pass for this to happen. Considering all these, it can be said that the permanence period of lip lift surgery is quite long.
Regardless of which technique is preferred for lip lift surgery, local anesthesia is applied to the patient. With local anesthesia, only the lips and the area around the lips are numbed. The patient does not feel any pain during surgery. Depending on the problem in the lip area of the person to be operated on and the application technique, the lip lift operation takes an average of 1 hour. Lip lift, which is a very simple and safe application, does not cause pain. After the operation is completed, the patient can return home on the same day.
After lip lift surgery, some edema or swelling can be expected, as in many other aesthetic operations. The average recovery time of these expected swelling may take approximately 1 week.
Local anesthesia is preferred in lip aesthetics.
Movements that strain the lips should be avoided. Care should be taken when consuming food and beverages. Since harmful habits such as smoking will slow down the healing process, it is recommended to take a break for a while.
