Lip lift surgery in Iran
What is Lip Lift Surgery
Lip lift surgery
Lip lift is performed to shorten the upper lip and make the upper teeth more visible. Upper lip lift surgery is a long-lasting lip filling operation that doesn’t need injecting gel and lip implants. The result of lip lift surgery, both for young people and the elderly, is permanent and eliminates the additional costs of repeated gel injections to highlight the lips.
Lip lift surgery is a cosmetic surgery in which the upper lip is lifted higher so that the mouth looks younger when smiling. Young lips are pink and beautiful, but when your facial skin begins to lose its elasticity, the lips also lose their borders, and the pink part of the upper lip is not generally recognized. Many people who tend to do upper lip lifts or shorten the distance between their lips and their nose are dissatisfied with the high length of their upper lip when their lips are not moving. This creates a large gap between the upper lip and the nose, making the teeth invisible while smiling.
If your upper lip is thin, or if your upper lip is longer than your lower lip, you can apply central lip lift and get the best results through surgical procedures. In central lip lift surgery, which is performed under local anesthesia, after a small incision under the nose, a narrow strip of skin is removed and the incision is sutured. At the beginning of the lip lift surgery, the upper lip is immobilized using a local anesthetic injection, then a predetermined amount of skin and underlying tissue is cut according to a specific pattern of nasal base and the incision is sutured to lift the lips. Often, the cut pattern is called the cow horn pattern, some people also call it the Italian lip lift.
What are the benefits of lip lift?
Lip lift surgery greatly rejuvenates the upper lip and improves its appearance. Corrects blood lines on the lips and wrinkles. Lip lift can make a person’s lips more attractive and make a person’s smile more attractive. Balance and proportion between the components of the face is established and the lips become larger and fuller. In some cases, this type of surgery may be used instead of or alongside with the gel.
Candidates for this kind of action
** Men and women between 20 and 80 years old who are not satisfied with the distance between their upper lip and their nose.
** People whose teeth can’t be seen when they smile and the distance between their nose and their upper lip is more than 1.5 cm.
** Those with flat and thin lips.
Who is not suitable for lip lift?
If you have an active herpetic blister you should not undergo surgery. If you take blood thinners like aspirin and warfarin you are at higher risk for bleeding and bruising, then you should discuss this with your doctor.
Types of lip lifts
Upper lip lift and corner lip lift
Upper lip lift
The upper lip lift is an extremely delicate surgery performed under local anesthesia. There is no need for intravenous anesthesia here because only by numbing the area the patient will no longer feel pain. This is an amazing solution for upper lip issues that few people know about. There are a variety of ways for central lift of upper lip. Many surgeons rarely perform these operations because the scars may remain.
Newer methods that have emerged today improve the appearance of the upper lip and mouth more and better. In the upper lip lift, the extra skin is removed in the upper lip area and its vertical length is reduced. There are two ways to do this: in the first method there is a slit along the red border of the lip through which a small portion of the skin is removed. As a result, the upper lip is lifted upward and gets shorter. In this method, however, the scar may remain, which may be of interest to some patients. In the second method we only cut the skin below the nose to perform upper lip lift. We do not cut muscles or nerves because we believe that these facial components should maintain their normal state. A cut is made just below the nose and a thin strip of skin and tissue is removed. The lip is lifted up to its new position, with the appearance of about 3 mm of the tooth, and the volume of the pink part of the lip is constantly increasing. This takes about 60 minutes.
As a result of lip lifts, mouths and lips are more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The amount of skin removed depends on the gender and condition of each patient. Before surgery, the distance from the base of the nose to the upper border of the upper lip is measured.
Corner lip lift
This lip lift contains only the corners of the mouth and is designed for patients who feel that their face has a permanent frown. Corner lip lift is also an outpatient procedure. In this operation, the corners of the mouth are raised lifted absorbable sutures. Like the upper lip lift, we only lift the skin and don’t touch the muscles and nerves. Removing a small triangular cut from the corner of the mouth will make the pink area of the lip bigger.
In general, the surgeon should be careful not to over remove the skin, because this will create a situation called a “joker smile”. We are very careful that this does not happen. Procedures such as corner lip lift are used for older people who want to have the corner of their mouths corrected.
What is done before lip lift surgery?
Before you start, we will talk to you about the amount of skin that needs to be removed to get the best results. Neither for upper lip lift, nor for central lip lift, nor for corner lip lift, no preoperative examination is required, as these are generally performed using local anesthesia. Of course, it is best to stop smoking cigarettes and taking aspirin 2 weeks before surgery. We will mark your upper lip based on the outcome you want for surgery. Since you will be told about all the actions that will be done in front of a mirror, the outcome will be in full agreement with you and the surgeon. Before each of these two procedures, you will be told exactly how much skin will be removed.
The best Lip lift surgery in Iran
This question can only be answered by researching the doctors around you. When analyzing photos, you need to consider a few things. Although it is easy to do surgery, there are some subtle points that only experienced surgeons can understand. Be sure to analyze many before and after photos.
* The issues you should discuss during your consultation include:
** Your medical complications (past and present)
** Taking current medicines, including dietary supplements and herbal remedies
** Previous surgeries
** Other treatments you have received.
How recognizable is the scar from the operation?
The scar first appears as a red line beneath the nose, part of which is hidden inside the nasal cavities. The technique invented by the specialists won’t have the orbicularis (the sphincter of the mouth) to be traced upward. Therefore, the scar remains narrow and is difficult to be seen after about 12 months.
How will postoperative recovery be?
After the lip lift procedure, you should eat soft foods for the first few days. In the first 72 hours after surgery, some swelling develops that can be controlled by compressing ice on the upper lip. Pain is also controlled by medications. Avoid oil of rosehip or high doses of vitamin E supplements. Consuming these substances increases the risk of swelling and bruising. Recovery after upper lip lift surgery can vary from 5 to 7 days, after which you can appear in public. But it is still swollen at this time and you will feel like your lip is stiff for a few weeks. Cold compresses help reduce swelling and bruising. In 1 to 2 weeks the swelling is significantly reduced and after a month most of the swelling subsides. If the patient still has redness near the incision site after two to three weeks, they will be asked to use a small amount of non-prescription steroid creams for a short time. The sutures are usually removed 2 days after surgery. Normally, where the edges of the incision are stitched together, there is a little bit of suture protrusion. The sutures we use are absorbable, so you do not need to go to the office again to remove them. Avoid alcohol and exercise activities for up to a week after surgery. As soon as the lip lift procedure is complete, you can leave the office and go home for a recovery period.
Complications of Lip lift surgery in Iran
Temporary complications of lip lift include redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness of the treated area. These problems generally resolve after a few days, but sometimes they can last up to two weeks. It will be swollen in the first 24 hours after surgery, so please keep this in mind when planning your post-operative social activities. We usually advise our patients to postpone their social activities for up to 10 days after surgery. Lips may become uneven or asymmetrical after recovery. You may get infections, develop unpleasant scarring and colloids (especially for those with a history of colloids), but they rarely occur.
Can lips be lifted with gel?
Yes, but only in some cases. If the distance between the nose and the lip is too much, the injected gels will push the lip outward instead. This results in a “duck lips” state. Patients with duck lips are usually candidates for upper lip lift. In this case, the lip should be lifted first and then filled with the help of the gel. Therefore, the gels are great for enlarging the lip, but they are not as capable as the lip lift. In fact, sometimes the use of a gel for the upper makes it look longer and causes a duck lip state.
Ability to perform lip lift and other operations at the same time
Often, cosmetic lip surgeries are performed along with other facial cosmetic surgeries to achieve the best results and give the patient complete satisfaction. Lip lifting can be done at the same time as a lip enlargement to have attractive lips. Face lift and neck lift surgery can also be done alongside the lip lift to make the face look younger and improve the balance of the face.
Cost of Lip lift surgery in Iran
If you do more than just lift your lips, the costs will go up. Usually these operations are considered aesthetic and are not covered by insurance. The cost of lip lift usually depends on the type of problem you have, and it includes preoperative and postoperative care costs.
