Om behandlingen
Some people feel that they have too long a distance between their nose and upper lip, often in combination with a thin upper lip, which can be perceived as bothersome. The desire to have full lips can be part of one’s basic appearance or occur with age. During the aging process, the distance between the nose and the upper lip can be extended by up to 1.5 cm due to the decrease in both the volume of the lip and the weakening of the lip muscles.
Lip Lift Methods
Lip lifts (also called gullwing plasty or bullhorn lip lifts) remove a small piece of skin directly under the nose, thus shortening the upper lip. At the same time, there is a tightening of the underlying tissue, resulting in a fuller upper lip and a more youthful appearance.
The distance between the nose and the so-called lip char is shortened during a lip lift. Sometimes the technique is combined with an extension of the lip char from the inside, so-called V-Y plasty. The procedure aims to create better balance and harmony in the face.
The procedure can be done under local anesthesia and can also be combined with injection treatments such as lip fillers and/or botulinum toxin (botox in the lips).
