The Reasons Behind Seeking Lip Lift: Understanding Medical and Aesthetic Reasons

There are various reasons why individuals seek Lip Lift Surgery, which include purely aesthetic aspects and those related to aging or genetic factors.

Aesthetic and Common Reasons:

Small Lip Size: Some may feel their lips are small or disproportionate to the rest of their facial features, impacting their self-esteem.
Loss of Volume and Fullness: With aging, lips begin to lose their natural volume and become thinner, with fine lines appearing around them.
Long Upper Lip: In some cases, the upper lip may be longer than necessary, making the front teeth insufficiently visible when smiling, giving the impression that the lip is drooping.
Asymmetry in Lips: Lips may suffer from asymmetry between the upper and lower lip, or unevenness from one side to the other.
Desire to Define the Lip Line: Lip Lift Surgery helps to better define the lip line, giving it a more youthful and attractive appearance.

Medical and Genetic Reasons:

Genetic Factors: Some may inherit lip structures that make them appear small or undefined from a young age.
Anatomical Changes: In some cases, there may be natural anatomical changes in the upper lip area that necessitate intervention to enhance appearance.

The Latest Updates and Research:

The latest research in cosmetic surgery indicates continuous evolution in Lip Lift Surgery techniques, focusing on achieving the most natural results possible, reducing recovery time, and minimizing scarring. New studies are exploring the use of innovative filler materials, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and laser techniques that may help improve the appearance of the lips without the need for traditional surgery in some cases. Researchers are also focusing on a deeper understanding of how tissues interact with various procedures to ensure sustainable results and patient safety.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift Surgery?

Identifying the right candidate for Lip Lift Surgery is key to achieving desired results and ensuring patient satisfaction. Generally, the ideal candidate is someone who is healthy and has realistic expectations of the procedure.

Suitable Candidates:

Individuals with a Long Upper Lip: If the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip is long, making the upper lip appear droopy or hiding the teeth when smiling, then Lip Lift Surgery can be an ideal solution.
People Desiring Increased Projection of the Upper Lip: The procedure helps to show a larger portion of the upper lip, giving it a fuller and more attractive appearance.
Those with Thin or Undefined Lips: If the lips lack volume or definition, Lip Lift Surgery can restore youthfulness and vitality.
Individuals Not Wanting Major Surgeries: There are non-surgical Lip Lift Surgery techniques that may be suitable for those seeking quicker, less invasive solutions.
People in Good Overall Health: No chronic illnesses that might impede healing or increase surgical risks.
Individuals with Realistic Expectations: They understand that the procedure aims to enhance appearance, not radically change it.

Who May NOT Be Ideal Candidates:

Individuals with Wound Healing Issues: May have a higher risk of visible scarring.
Heavy Smokers: Smoking can impede healing and increase the risk of complications. It is advised to quit smoking for a period before and after surgery.
People with Unrealistic Expectations: Such as striving for exaggerated lips or those disproportionate to facial structure.
Those with Certain Medical Conditions: Such as autoimmune disorders or clotting problems that may require careful medical evaluation.
Pregnant or Nursing Women: Surgery is not recommended during these periods.

Our medical team at “Health & Beauty Turkey” will carefully evaluate each patient’s condition, discuss their goals and expectations, to determine if Lip Lift Surgery is the most appropriate procedure for them, and explain all available options.

Preparing for Lip Lift Surgery: Steps Towards a Successful Journey

Good preparation before Lip Lift Surgery greatly contributes to achieving the best results and overcoming the recovery period smoothly. These preparations begin even before traveling to Turkey.

Before Traveling to Turkey:

Initial Consultation: A comprehensive consultation with a specialized cosmetic surgeon should be conducted. At “Health & Beauty Turkey”, we provide these consultations remotely at first, where recent photos of the lips and face can be sent, and goals and expectations discussed.
Provide Complete Medical History: Inform the surgeon about any chronic diseases, allergies to certain medications, or medications you are currently taking, including dietary supplements and herbs.
Quit Smoking: If you are a smoker, it is advised to quit smoking at least one to two months before the surgery and to continue this during the recovery period, as smoking negatively affects blood flow and wound healing.
Avoid Certain Medications: The doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medications and supplements that increase blood thinning, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, several days before the surgery.
Plan Your Travel and Stay: Arrange travel and accommodation details in Turkey, considering the need for sufficient rest after the surgery, and having an assistant if needed.

Upon Arrival in Turkey and at the Clinic:

Medical Examinations: Before surgery, the patient will undergo a series of essential medical examinations to ensure that their health condition allows for the procedure, which may include blood tests and possibly a heart check based on the patient’s overall condition.
Detailed Consultation with the Surgeon: The surgeon will explain the procedure details again, clarify the technique used, define the exact lines for the surgery, and mark the area to be treated.
Discuss Anesthesia Options: The appropriate type of anesthesia will be chosen, which may be local or general, based on the nature of the procedure, the patient’s preferences, and the surgeon’s assessment.
Photographs: Photos of the lips will be taken before the procedure to document the original condition for comparison with the results after healing.
Dietary Instructions: The doctor may advise eating certain foods or avoiding others before the operation.

Remember, the “Health & Beauty Turkey” team will accompany you step by step to ensure all your preparations are smooth and comfortable.

Steps of the Lip Lift Procedure: From Consultation to Final Results

Lip Lift Surgery consists of several stages, starting from careful evaluation to the recovery period, with each stage aiming to achieve the best possible result with the highest safety standards.

Before the Procedure: Evaluation and Detailed Preparation

Comprehensive Medical Consultation: At this stage, the surgeon evaluates the structure of the face and lips, discusses the patient’s goals, and explains available treatment options (surgical and non-surgical). A thorough examination of the upper lip, its length, shape, and position relative to the nose and teeth is conducted.
Determine the Appropriate Technique: Based on the evaluation, the surgeon determines the most suitable technique, whether surgical (such as lip lifting by excision or suture lip lift) or non-surgical (such as filler use).
Photographs: Photos are taken before the procedure for documentation.
Discuss Anesthesia: Agreement on the appropriate type of anesthesia is made.

During the Procedure: Precision and Craftsmanship

The detailed steps vary based on the technique used:

First: Surgical Techniques for Lip Lift:

Lip Lift by Excision:

Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is injected into the upper lip area, and general anesthesia may be used in some cases.
Marking the Incision Line: The surgeon draws a precise line in the area under the nose (usually in natural skin folds) or along the red margin of the upper lip, depending on the specified technique (such as lip lift under the nose, catalog lift, or short lip lift).
Removing Excess Skin: A thin strip of excess skin is cut from the specified area. This strip is carefully designed to help shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip and raise the lip.
Closing the Wound: The remaining skin edges are brought together, leading to a slight elevation of the upper lip and increased projection. The wound is closed with very fine surgical threads.
Immediate Results: Preliminary lifting of the lip can be observed immediately after surgery.

Suture Suspension Lip Lift:

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is used.
Supporting Sutures: Special surgical threads are inserted through small points (often hidden inside the nose or beneath the lip) to be attached to the deep tissues of the upper lip.
Pulling and Lifting: The threads are gently pulled to lift the edge of the upper lip to the desired position, giving the impression of increased volume and better definition.
Hiding the Points: The threads are carefully cut and it is ensured that any entry or exit points for the threads are small and unobtrusive. This technique is less invasive and leaves fewer noticeable scars.

Second: Non-Surgical Techniques for Lip Lift (Using Fillers):

Although this technique does not fall under the term “surgery” in the surgical sense, it aims to enhance the shape and appearance of the lips:

Local Anesthesia: A topical anesthetic cream is used to minimize discomfort.
Filler Injection: Filler materials (usually hyaluronic acid) are precisely injected into specific areas of the upper lip, such as the pink lip (red margin) or the area above the lip.
Techniques Used: Techniques such as “Cupid’s Bow Lift” may be used to enhance the cupid’s bow, or the entire lip may be injected to increase volume and fullness.
Results: Results appear immediately, are temporary, and last for several months.

After the Procedure: Recovery and Care

The Immediate Stage: After the surgery is completed, a gentle bandage is placed on the wound area. The patient may experience some swelling or bruising, which is normal.
Initial Instructions: The medical team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for the wound, take prescribed medications (pain relievers, antibiotics if necessary), and how to deal with swelling (using cold compresses).
Dietary Guidelines: It is advisable to consume soft and liquid foods in the first few days to avoid pressure on the lip area.
Avoiding Activities: Strenuous physical activities, direct sun exposure, and smoking should be avoided during the initial recovery period.
Suture Removal: If non-absorbable surgical threads were used, they are removed after about a week.
Recovery Period:
- The First Few Days: Swelling and bruising may increase, and discomfort may occur.
- The First Week: Swelling begins to subside and scars (in surgical cases) become less noticeable.
- The Following Weeks: Healing continues, and final results become more evident. Final results of surgical Lip Lift Surgery may take several months to fully appear.

The “Health & Beauty Turkey” team will closely monitor your condition during the recovery period to ensure your safety and provide the necessary support.
