Lip Lift

Dudak Kaldırma

Upper lip lift, also known as upper lip shortness treatment, is for patients who are not satisfied with the length of the upper lip area. In the lip lifting surgery, the area between the upper lip, the base of the columella (middle column of the nose) and the reddish-pink of the lip is targeted.

The ideal length of this area in facial aesthetic surgery is between 12-15 millimeters. However, this length may vary depending on the location of the individual’s peripheral features. If the length in this section is far above what it should be, that is, if it is too disturbing to the person, aesthetic surgery can be supported.

Who is it Suitable for?

Many patients who are concerned with upper lip lifting or shortening the upper lip are uncomfortable with the excessive distance over the upper lip when viewed with the lip still. If this length is more than it should be, it makes the person’s lower face appear much longer than it is. In fact, the length of the upper lip in the vertical direction is usually about the length of the lower lip-chin. The upper lip shortening procedure can be a highly effective solution in some cases to create a more fit and balance of one percent without ideal proportions.

Also, some patients may request lip lift surgery for their smile aesthetics. In an ideal smile aesthetics, the upper lip should go up and make the teeth appear at a certain rate. If the distance of the upper lip is more than the ideal ratio, the lip can be pulled towards the top, preventing the teeth from appearing adequately. Inadequate appearances of incisors can also be corrected with lip lift surgery.
