What is a Lip Lift?
The lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip for a more youthful, attractive position. It provides long-term results and negates the need for lip implants and injections.
As we age, the lips lose their fullness. The distance between the tip of the nose and the upper lip also becomes longer, which makes the whole face appear older. In severe cases, the upper lip becomes so long that it hangs over the teeth. Other patients are born with naturally thin lips and desire a change.
Bullhorn (Subnasal) Lip Lift
The bullhorn lip lift raises the upper lip to reveal more of the top teeth. This increases the lip’s volume and brings better aesthetic proportion to the lower lip.
During a bullhorn procedure, Gold Clinic Turkey cuts an incision beneath the nose in the shape of a bull’s horn. A small strip of skin and tissue is removed. The muscles are then tightened, and the upper lip is raised to its new position. The procedure takes about 45 minutes, and the recovery time is between 5 and 7 days.
This surgical technique leaves virtually undetectable scars and can be performed under local anesthesia, making it more affordable than other augmentation procedures
How Long Do the Results Last?
Unlike injections, lip lifts provide results that last a lifetime. Patients will not have to spend money on repeat treatments.
Lip Lift Recovery
Recovery is relatively quick and sutures are usually removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. Patients should expect the lips to swell for one to two weeks. Incisions can take about 6 to 8 weeks to completely heal. Patients may also experience a feeling of mild tightness for 2 to 4 months
