What is Lip Lift Surgery? Why Is It Performed?
Lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, making the lips more prominent. A long lip-nose distance, which creates an image incompatible with facial contours, may cause dissatisfaction and desire for change in people.
This operation is preferred by individuals who are uncomfortable with the appearance of the upper lip. Women who want full and aesthetic lips can choose lip lift operation to make their upper lips look fuller.
Another motivation for lip lift is the distance between the nose and lips. In an ideal aesthetic lip structure, this distance should be between 12 and 15 mm. Those who do not have these measurements may have an older and masculine appearance for their age. In addition, being below or above this ideal length can negatively affect facial expression and affect social life.
The long distance between the lips and nose can cause an unbalanced appearance that is incompatible with facial features. In a normal lip structure, the vertical length of the upper lip should be the length of the lower lip and chin.
On the contrary, the upper lip may appear thinner and drawn in. To correct this situation, lip lift surgery helps to correct these inconsistencies in lip structure.
