In some individuals, the distance between the nose and the upper lip can be longer than normal. This condition can make the upper lip appear thinner and droopier, negatively affecting the overall aesthetics of the face. The lip lift procedure reduces the distance between the nose and upper lip, bringing facial features closer to the golden ratio.
The lip lift procedure should not be confused with lip augmentation. While a lip lift aims to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the nose, lip augmentation is designed to increase the volume of the lips. As a result of the lip lift procedure, the upper lip becomes more prominent, but not fuller. This procedure helps to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.
After a lip lift procedure, it is normal to experience swelling for a few days. This swelling is caused by the sutures between the nose and the lip. The sutures are self-dissolving, so they do not need to be removed by the doctor. Although rare, complications such as bleeding from the sutures may occur. In such cases, it is important to consult your doctor immediately. The lip lift procedure should always be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr. Bahadır Çelik, an expert in lip lifts in Antalya / Turkey, can help you achieve the golden ratio in your face.
When researching Lip Lift, it is not enough to compare procedure names or rely only on general online comments. A safe plan should consider that personal goals, anatomy, health status and recovery expectations should be evaluated together. During consultation, the main concern, anatomical suitability, expected recovery and realistic limits of the procedure are reviewed together.
For patients travelling to Antalya, treatment planning should also include timing. Consultation, tests, procedure day, early control visit and return travel are best arranged as one coordinated plan rather than separate steps.
