Bat Wing Lip Lift: Lifting upper lip

Plastic surgery has advanced on many levels in recent years, and even a minor procedure or operation can have a significant impact on one's appearance. The "Lip Lift," or lifting of the top lip, is an illustration of this idea.

Description

Anatomically, the upper lip is divided into two sections: the "white upper lip," which runs from the base of the nose to the contour, and the "red upper lip." The "white upper lip" tends to lengthen over time as collagen and elastin production declines, whereas the "red upper lip" narrows, loses volume, and turns inward.

While people are young, their upper teeth are visible when their lips are half open, whereas as they get older, the elongation of the white upper lip hides the upper teeth and makes the lower row visible. We frequently discuss little modifications that have a significant impact on facial attractiveness.

In which cases is the Bat Wing Lip Lift technique appropriate?

  • When the structure of the top lip causes it to be overly lengthy.
  • Lip Lift is appropriate in all of these circumstances when there are minor asymmetries or defects in the contour that cannot be rectified with hyaluronic acid injection.

Do I need anesthesia?

The operation is performed under local anesthesia in the doctor's office, lasts about 30 minutes and is completely painless.

Where the incision is applied

A small incision is made at the base of the nose, and extra skin is excised, resulting in the appropriate length of the upper lip.

When does someone return to normal daily activities?

With a little plaster that is removed in 4-5 days, the patient can resume his normal activities right away. The minor incision can be concealed with makeup at first, but it will eventually fade away.

How long does the result last?

The results are permanent and the patient satisfaction rate is extremely high.

LipLift can be combined with hyaluronic acid injection.
