Lip Lift | Upper Lip Lift Surgery

What is Lip Lift surgery?

Lip Lift surgery is a Facial Aesthetic Surgery that aims to create a balanced and attractive lip by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip, which will plump and reshape the lip, increasing the definition of the vermilion border.

Why is Lip Lift performed?

When the distance between the nose and the upper lip is long, an appearance of a misshapen lip, which might not fit with the rest of the facial features, becomes apparent. Lip Lift Surgery is performed to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance by shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip.

What are the conditions for Lip Lift Surgery?

A Lip Lift is recommended to any patient who can undergo general anesthesia and who:

  • Has a long upper lip.
  • Has upper lip wings that are curved inward.
  • Are experiencing saggy lips due to age-related decrease in the lip fat tissue.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Lip Lift?

Before the surgery, the patient should:

  • Stop smoking, drinking alcohol, and using recreational drugs a month before the surgery.
  • If you are using any medication, you must tell your coordinator.
  • Be at the hospital a day before the surgery date for all pre-operative tests.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery. These medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication and supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.
  • During the physical examination, a drawing will be made by the plastic surgeon that shows the most suitable lip.

How is Lip Lift Surgery performed?

The procedure is performed through an incision made at the junction of the lower border of the nose and the upper lip. Tissue is removed through the incision and the vermillion is moved up.

The incision site is sutured aesthetically after the surgery. The melting time of the stitches is about a week.

Lip Lift surgery can be performed under both local and general anesthesia. The operation takes approximately an hour to perform.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Lip Lift Surgery?

There may be swelling and pain around the upper lip and nose after the operation, swelling and pain should decrease at the end of the third day and disappear completely within a week.

After the surgery, the patient should:

  • Should rest for 24 hours after the operation.
  • Avoid strenuous physical activities.
  • Not smoke for a month.
  • Not lie face down for a month.
  • Avoid blows to the lip or the area surrounding it.
  • Apply the prescribed antibiotic cream to the surgery area.

What Are The Risks of Lip Lift Surgery?

Even though Lip Lift Surgery is a relatively safe surgery with a comfortable healing process, it still carries certain risks like any other major surgery, such as:

  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Asymmetry
  • An adverse reaction to the anesthesia
  • Pain or discoloration
  • Suboptimal aesthetic result and/or minimal changes
  • Hematoma

Jayden reviewed Sleeve feb 2023 Dr Katar & 360 FDL uplift & Implants April 2024 Dr Nebil

So I originally researched a lot of companies to have my sleeve a year prior to actually having it, and booking surgery was always the one that seemed to stand out the most for all the right reasons. I went ahead and had my sleeve in February 2023 done by the very talented Dr Katar, after losing over 8 and half stone, then maintaining for several months I decided it was time for plastics, so I got in contact with my coordinator Rob Campbell and began researching which plastic surgeon I wanted, Rob was very helpful through each step of the booking process, any questions I had he answered in detail, I went ahead and booked with Dr Nebil Selimouğlu to have a 360 FDL, mons lift, muscle repair and breast uplift with implants under the muscle. I had this surgery done on 15th April 2024 at Yasam hospital, and I don’t have any complaints, the hospital was well equipped and clean, the nurses, staff & translators was all great, if I did occur anything I was unsure of I told one of the translators and it was dealt with straight away, Oscar was my favourite translator, he was very caring and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble. Dr Nabil is a magician, he’s work is impeccable and he is such a nice caring man. He came to see me every day sometimes twice a day while I was there, I think having full hospital stay while there really helps with recovery. I am very early into my recovery journey but already thinking about my next round of plastics again with Dr Nebil. I can’t recommend this company, doctors, nurses, staff and translators enough! Thanks all at booking surgery, I will see you again in the future.

customer reviewed Dr Yalcin At Medistanbul

FDL & MINI BRA LINE LIFT This was my second lot of plastic surgery with booking surgery. My surgeon was Dr Yalcin, he is also known as Dr Yummy🤣. My Coordinator was Nina Ord and she had arranged a transfer from the airport to the hospital for when I arrived, the driver was there ready and waiting as soon as I got to gate 8 (the collection point) he helped me and my companion with our bags and was very polite. The transfer from the airport to the hospital was about 30mins. I was then greeted by two members of booking surgery staff April & Lilly. My room wasn’t quite ready but while we were waiting they took myself and my companion for something to eat. Medistanbul is a new hospital that booking surgery are using so I was quite nervous about going somewhere that I hadn’t been before as my previous surgery was at medicine with Dr Yalcin. All pre op tests was done within a few hours and I was then able to walk about the mall next door to the hospital and check out my surroundings. The rooms are spacious, clean, you also have Netflix to watch too. Fast forward to the day of my surgery I reminded Dr Yalcin that I was quite poorly with my first lot of plastics and he was able to change some medication around so I wasn’t poorly when I come around. I am currently 4 days post op and I couldn’t be happier. The aftercare from Dr Yalcin has been great. Always answered any questions or worries I had. Translators Morgan, Naz and Lilly are always around if you need any help with anything. Always knocking on your door checking in on you and asking if you need anything. The cleaners have been cleaning my room on a regular basis, the nurses have been answering my buzzer when needed. Kept me up to date with my pain killers and ext. Google translate is a good app to have just in case you need something and the translators are busy with another patient. Over all my experience at medistanbul has been fab and if I wanted to come back for anything else with Dr Yalcin wouldn’t hesitate.

Natalie Innes reviewed Amazing experience by the best team!

During my time looking into various surgeons I came across many reviews and friends who had been to Turkey. I work within a professional legal setting and made checks into the experience of the surgeon and his work prior to being at Optimed. It took time to get a date that suited my work commitments as I needed time to recover. I was soo glad I waited for the best surgeon who specialises in real curves and getting the best shape to enhance my shape and goals. Dr Mehmet Emin Atil spent time going over my plans for surgery and explored the procedure in detail. He has faultless english and a reassuring nature. I do not need other surgery but my family members will and I wont hesitate to recommend. The hospital and staff are soo friendly and kind. I even managed to teach them some Glaswegian. The hospital is absolutely spotless and is central for companions to explore and have time for themselves whilst you recover. It was great having support by all the staff who are so friendly and helpful with everything. Optimed for me was a pleasant stay and the hospital is far superior to anything you will experience in the Uk.

Becki Acko reviewed Booking Surgery 3rd visit and once again very happy

I have been a total of 3 times to Istanbul via booking surgery. Each time I book Dr Soner Karaali as he is just amazing! From first contact and booking with my co-ordination Nina to leaving I never have had any issues or complaints. You are picked up from the airport and taken to your hospital, on arrival all relevant tests are carried out to ensure you are fit and healthy for the surgery. On the morning the surgeon visits and goes through what you would like as pre discussed and once agreed for desired results you are drawn up and then taken to theatre. The hospital staff, nurses and cleaning crew are always so kind and caring, friendly and professional. You have interpreters on hand 24/7 asking if you would like/need anything. All meals are provided too as well as protein shakes throughout the day. This visit I’ve had the amazing Lily, Morgan, Frank, Naz and Gabriel. Nothing is too much trouble at all they are fantastic. And most importantly my surgical results are as always phenomenal if I do say so myself 🩷

Marisa Mercieca reviewed Highly recommended

I have been looking through this surgery for years. Finally I have decided to make it and here I am !! I can’t thank all the lovely people that helped me through this journey. It all started from a Facebook add and I ve sent a request to learn more information. Very shortly the consultant contacted me on what’s app. She was super helpful and friendly, I felt well prepared before coming to Turkey. When we got here we found a driver waiting for us and took us to the hospital. My partner came on the trip with me and was allowed to spend everyday with me including three meals a day and sleeping in the same room which was very supportive for me. I cannot not mention the gentle translators that works here, they come to check on you very frequent and make sure you have everything you need and you are comfortable. Most of all a big thank you goes to the lovely nurses and care workers!! They are super kind and helpful!! Their care they show for the patients is impeccable. Thank you all for your dedication. Also i would like to thank Dr Ali Tardu and his team that they have done a super job! Thank you all ❤️ surely recommend!

Pauline Davie reviewed Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift…

Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift with Dr Soner through my coordinator Mike Smith who arranged everything. From being met at the airport, transfer to the hospital, all necessary tests, scans, X-rays, etc. Met my surgeon the next morning to discuss my operation. From start to finish I have been looked after 100%. Interpreters are on hand 24/7 to help with anything you want or need. The rooms are large, modern, well equipped and clean. I was so excited about having this procedure and am delighted with my results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BookingSurgery.com to anyone who’s looking for any plastic surgery procedures.
