Lip lift operation is a very comfortable surgical operation preferred by patients with excessive distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip or sagging around the lips. As a result of the lip lift operation, the face approaches the golden ratio and an aesthetically improved appearance emerges.
Lip lift is often preferred by patients whose distance between the upper lip and nose is more than 15mm or who have sagging around the lip area due to advancing age.
The lip lift operation, which is performed under local anaesthesia and takes an average of 40-60 minutes, can be performed using different techniques. The procedure starts with a small incision under the nose and the excess skin / fat tissue between the lip and nose is removed from the area. At the end of the operation, the incision is closed with its own dissolvable sutures. The patient is then taken to his/her room to rest.
After the lip lift operation, the patient is taken to his/her room to rest and can return to his/her hotel or home after the doctor leaves the room. If necessary, an overnight hospital stay may also be recommended.
FIRST 3 DAYS:
In the first three days after the lip lift, it is quite natural to have a slight swelling in the area. In this process, the patient can apply cold compress to the area within the doctor's recommendation. During the healing period, it is very important for the patient to sleep on his back and protect the area from impacts.
DAY 5 - 7.
After the lip lift operation, the last controls of the patient are carried out and the patient can return home as of the fifth day if the patient lives abroad or out of town. Since the stitches used in the operation are self-melting stitches, they do not need to be removed by the doctor and it can be said that they will dissolve within 5-21 days. The recovery period of lip lift surgery is approximately 1 week. During this process, oedema will decrease day by day.
1. YEAR :
As stated after most operations, the healing process varies from person to person, but the average is one year. In this process, the scars in the area lose their prominence and the oedema / swelling disappears completely. During the healing process of the patient, regular monthly controls are provided via whatsapp and the patient transmits his/her photos to the health counsellor. As a result of the examination of the photographs by the doctor, cream and medication recommendations can be made to the patient. It is very important for the patient to follow the doctor's recommendations during the healing process in order to have the best result.
