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

Had a bit of a mix up but this was easily fixed and my feedback taken onboard for future patients 😊 The hospital is immaculate with very friendly and caring staff. I was very well looked after before and after surgery. After surgery nurses would check on me every 1.5/2 hours and if I rang the bell they would come instantly. Translators were brilliant and the staff who didn’t speak much English was very good with google translate 😊 The care and the cleanliness at the hospital I went to Medistanbul was out of the world. Puts the UK hospitals to shame honestly! Had so many family & friends telling me don’t go abroad for surgery but it’s the best thing I ever done! My coordinator Rick Miller was so quick at responding, always kept me up to date and was very helpful throughout the whole process. My surgeon was Prof Dr Kagan Katar who was very professional, he came to see me before and after operation Also the transfer driver Orhan was amazing he was so helpful with our bags in the huge airport and sorted us out with wheelchairs Had a brilliant experience

customer reviewed Dr Ahmet - arm lift and Sr Emre - face, neck, eyes. First class

I had arm lift surgery with Dr Ahmet on 8 October 2024. David Turker was my co ordinator. From the collection at the airport to dropping be off ;I also had dental implant and my partner has a hair transplant) everything went smoothly. They’re organised and efficient. There are several interpreters and staff who work for Booking Surgery who are resident at different times in the ward of the hospitals. On 30/1/24 I returned to finish off my tooth implant and to have a deep plane facelift, a neck lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Again everyone was fantastic. My only critique is the hospitals’ food, which, similar to UK is not great but I knew that prior to going and found out where the nearest shops were. I also ordered in pizza via the helpers and they got me stuff from the shop. They also got me a soft pillow as the pillow on my hospital bed the second time was like a boulder with wee pebbles in it LOL. But this is a minor thing and plenty of cheap pillows for sale nearby. I felt that my treatment in Istanbul was better than any I’d ever received in the UK and I’ve had over 5 operations in Scotland. The nurses in Turkey are so kind and compassionate. Any medication you need for any ancillary issues that arise is readily prescribed to you. The surgeons are lovely too and experienced and professional. I had Dr Emre Koçman for my face etc., ab older guy in his 60s with great experience. I’m not 10 days post op and pleased Ruth progress. I’m 65 and once healed I'm going to look 45. That wasn’t my aim but I’ll take it LOL ! Thank you booking surgery. You’re the best. Maxine
