Liplift

It can be performed for two main reasons:

  • To narrow the distance between the nose and lips when it is wider than normal 

  • To thicken the upper lip if it is think

A thorough examination before the surgery is crucial. During the examination, the following factors should be considered:

  • Filtrum length

  • Lip thickness

  • Stable and dynamic upper tooth visibility


Based on these criteria and the patient's preferences, the planned procedure and the specifically modified technique for it are determined. With lip lift, the desired part for increasing the thickness of the upper lip can be adjusted. For example, the middle part of the lip can be lifted while the side parts may not be lifted as much. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia and it is a precise operation based on millimetric measurements.
