Lip Lift: Enhance Your Smile and Lip Contour
Overview
A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape the upper lip, creating a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This surgery shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip, enhancing the lip's contour and revealing more of the red lip tissue. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Direct Lip Lift (Gullwing Lift): Involves removing a small strip of skin just above the upper lip to elevate and reshape the lip. This technique is suitable for individuals seeking a more pronounced change.
- Subnasal Lip Lift (Bullhorn Lift): Involves making an incision under the base of the nose and removing a small amount of skin to lift the upper lip. This approach offers a subtle and natural-looking enhancement.
- Corner Lip Lift: Targets the corners of the mouth to lift drooping edges and create a more youthful smile. This technique is often combined with other lip lift procedures for comprehensive results.
