Lip Lift Surgery in Iran

This lift is called indirect lift or Central lip lift designed specifically for the upper lip. If your upper lip is thin or if the length of your upper lip is longer than your lower lip, this procedure would be suitable for you. The pink tissue of the lip in this surgery is enhanced and the lips are made bigger.

For this procedure, the surgeon removes part of the skin under the nose in the shape of the bull horn (or angel’s wing). Then, he sutures the upper and lower parts of the incision together. Doing this, right, left, and the central parts of the lips are lifted upward. In doing so, the lips will be more visible and will be in a better state when lips are resting, making the laughter more pretty. In the subnasal lift, the upper lip gets wider and the face looks younger.

Direct lip lift or gullwing lift can be applied to upper and lower lips. This surgery can highlight lip borders and widen lip width. To do this outpatient surgery, a thin layer of skin is removed from just above or under the lips. Then, the lip skin is pulled and it is sutured. Doing this, the pink area of the lips looks bigger. There is a high probability that the mark of the scar would remain on the skin.

• First, the doctor examines your face and lips to decide which surgery is best for you.

• If you have diabetes or any other health condition which interferes with blood clotting, inform your doctor.

Just like any other surgery, a lip lift can have risks and problems. Although some of these risks are rare, knowing about them helps you prevent them by choosing a good surgeon. Some of them are mentioned here:

• A lingering sign of scar
• Probability of lengthening recovery period
• Bleeding during and after surgery
• Lip asymmetry
• Reactions to anesthetics
• Bruises and swelling
• Possibility of infection
• Not getting the desired result or return of the lift

• Since lip lift is less invasive, its recovery period is almost a week but it takes a month for the wound to heal.
• Swelling usually fades in 72 hours but it may take up to a week.
• The stitches are removed in a week and you can go back to normal life.
• After removing the stitches, you can wear makeup to cover the scars.
• With reduced swelling, the shape of the lips is exposed and you can move them like before.
• Skin redness should evade in two weeks.
• Scar fading usually takes 6 months.
• Temporary numbness of the lips is normal for up to 2-3 months.

The result of this surgery is available in 3-4 weeks later when the wound is recovered and the swelling is gone. Despite lip prosthesis or gel injection, the result of lip lift surgery is permanent. However, it also depends on your lifestyle. If you keep on with a healthy lifestyle and avoid direct sunlight, you can enjoy the result of the surgery for the rest of your life.
