Information
Lip lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure and is performed to make the upper lip area of a person look younger, fuller and aesthetically pleasing. During this procedure, the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose is shortened, so that the upper lip is pulled higher and becomes more prominent. This procedure offers a natural approach instead of using fillers to make the lips appear fuller.

How to do Lip Lift?
The lip lift procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and the operation time can be short (usually between 1-2 hours). The healing process varies from person to person, but it is usually possible to return to social activities within a few weeks. Temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising and discomfort may occur after the procedure.
Lip lift requires a serious decision and, like any surgical procedure, has potential risks and consequences. Therefore, it is important to have a detailed consultation with a plastic surgery specialist, understand expectations and discuss possible outcomes.
