It is a more permanent solution than fillers and ideal for those who wish to enhance the natural beauty of their mouth with delicacy and precision, while always maintaining the uniqueness of their features.
Target:
✔ In the lifting of the upper lip
✔ Reducing the distance between the nose and upper lip
✔ Increasing the red surface of the lip (lip show)
✔ Creating a more expressive and ‘open’ smile
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- People with a long or flattened upper lip
- Those who want a permanent result without fillers
- People whose lips ‘hide’ when they don't smile
- Those who have already had injectable treatments but wish to improve the regimen with surgical precision
How Is the Procedure Performed?
- The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in the surgery
- Lasts about 45-60 minutes
- A small incision is made right at the base of the nose
- A thin strip of skin is removed and the lip is lifted
The incision is naturally ‘hidden’ in the nasopharyngeal groove, making it almost invisible over time.
What are the advantages?
✔ Natural result, without excessive volume
✔ Improvement of the smile and lip projection
✔ Restoration of symmetry
✔ Quick recovery
✔ Permanent result - no repeats required
Recovery and recuperation
- Return to daily activities in 1-2 days
- Mild swelling and possible tenderness for 5-7 days
- Stitches are absorbable or removed in 5-7 days
- The scar fades and becomes almost invisible within a few weeks
- Final result visible in 4-6 weeks
