Full and plump lips have always been considered a sign of beauty. If your lips have changed their appearance as a result of the natural ageing process, you may want to consider a lip lift or upper lip firming to regain your confidence.
LIP LIFT is a procedure that lifts the upper lip by removing a small strip of skin under the nose. After this procedure, the lips look fuller and more defined. Lip lift is a permanent way to emphasise genetically thin lips or lips that have become thinner due to ageing. Lip lift surgery also provides a well-defined contour of the upper lip.
The operation is usually performed under local anaesthesia, unless the surgeon decides that general anaesthesia is necessary. The surgeon makes an incision in the shape of a ‘bullhorn’ under the nose. He then cuts off a strip of skin (from the gutter) and then tightens the skin to close the incision. Lip lift surgery takes approximately one hour. This type of procedure provides a more natural look compared to injectable methods.
The treatment is designed to improve the appearance of the lips, it gives the upper lip a better look, the results of the lip lift treatment are amazing. It gives the upper lip a fuller appearance, the ‘Cupid’s Arch’ is well contoured and its curves are accentuated. And best of all, the effect of the procedure is permanent. The procedure reduces the distance between the upper lip and the nose, giving the lips a lifting and rejuvenating effect. The results can be improved by complementing them with other volume-enhancing treatments.
