What is Lip Lift?

You may have a thin lip structure genetically or a duller fullness on your lips due to aging than before. Lip lift is a procedure that aims to make the pink part of the upper lip more visible. In this state, by paying attention to the lip-to-nose ratio, both the appearance of your upper lip increases and the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose is shortened. This surgical method can be an alternative to injectable fillers. It gives the best results especially for people with a long face structure and a long philtrum (the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip).

Lip lift, which is a method preferred by many people who do not like the current structure of their lips and who apply to injectable filler applications at certain intervals, is a permanent application. It is also a good option for people looking for a natural-looking lip augmentation effect.

Who Can Have a Lip Lift?

As a result, you get a larger upper lip, more balanced facial contours and a more attractive appearance. The effect of lip augmentation by lip lift is permanent and does not need to be repeated.
