Lip Lift
APPOINTMENT REQUEST FORM
In facial aesthetics, the golden ratio is determined by the distance between the lips, the base of the nose, and the tip of the chin. Over time, due to the effects of gravity or structural factors, a sagging and thin appearance of the upper lip can make a person look older or more tired than they are.
Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer, with his expertise in Facial Plastic Surgery and Oral, Facial, and Maxillofacial Surgery, offers natural and lasting results in lip lift operations.
What is Lip Lift?
Lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose, making the lips appear fuller, more lifted, and more defined. Unlike lip fillers, it is a permanent method and not only adds volume but also enhances tooth visibility, creating a more dynamic expression.
Why Choose a Lip Lift?
- Permanent Results: Unlike fillers that need to be repeated at regular intervals, it provides lifelong results.
- Natural Appearance: It offers a natural aesthetic that highlights the natural texture of the lip, avoiding the “duck lip” look.
- Rejuvenating Effect: An extended upper lip distance makes the face look older; shortening this distance instantly adds youthful vitality to the face.
- Smile Design: Making the upper teeth slightly visible is one of the most important keys to an aesthetically pleasing smile.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate For Lip Lift Surgery?
Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy using personalized “Profile Aesthetics” principles. Lip Lift procedures are generally preferred in the following cases:
- An anatomically long distance between the nose and the upper lip.
- The inward curling and thinning of the upper lip due to aging.
- Individuals whose upper teeth are not visible when smiling.
- Those who cannot achieve the desired projection and natural lift with lip fillers.
Lip Lift Surgery Process and Technical Details
The surgery is performed through a small incision called a “bullhorn” incision, made just below the base of the nose. Excess skin is removed, and the lip is lifted upwards.
Why should you choose Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer for Lip Lift Surgery?
The most critical point in this procedure is to conceal the suture scar within the natural creases at the base of the nose and to ensure the result is permanent by intervening in the muscle tissue. Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer, who holds the International Facial Plastic Surgery Qualification Certificate, possessed by only a few physicians in Turkey, minimizes the risk of scarring with his micro-surgical precision.
Lip Lift Surgery Recovery Process: What to Expect?
- Duration: The procedure usually takes 45-60 minutes under local anesthesia.
- Return to Social Life: Mild swelling is normal for the first few days. Stitches are usually removed within 5-7 days, and the patient can return to their daily routine.
Will There Be a Scar? Because the incision is placed in the natural shadow at the base of the nose, it is quite difficult to notice from the outside once healing is complete.
