Techniques applied to have full and well-structured lips are among the most frequently preferred aesthetic operations for many years. Since the thin or asymmetrical lip form damages the facial beauty, it is desired by everyone to have more voluminous and prominent lips.
Especially preferred by women, lip aesthetics helps to achieve a more attractive appearance by having lips that are in a form and thickness compatible with the facial structure.
Lip aesthetics is the name given to all the operations that are planned according to the needs of the person and include more than one technique.
The lips are the structures that make up the skin tissue that covers the face and the mucous tissue that covers the inside of the mouth. Lips, which have the highest blood supply in the body and contain high levels of nerve cells, closely affect both facial beauty and smile aesthetics. Having full and proportional lips helps to look more attractive, while also establishing a relationship between other facial features such as nose and chin. In this way, it is effective in making other anatomical structures on the face look more compatible with each other and has great importance in aesthetic perception.
The aesthetic appearance of the lips is especially desired by women. Those who have thinner than normal and ambiguous lip lines are the group that most frequently apply to lip aesthetic applications. However, lip applications may include different operations such as adjusting the distance between the nose and lips, eliminating lip asymmetries or reducing the lip volume.
In addition, rearrangement of lip folds and creation of lip lines suitable for facial structure are also possible with lip aesthetic applications. Thanks to these interventions, it is aimed to bring the lips to smooth and ideal proportions, to have a form suitable for the face and to look natural. Stimulating the collagen structure in the lips, removing the surrounding wrinkles and increasing the lip quality are among the procedures performed within the scope of lip aesthetics.
Lip aesthetics is the name given to all the operations that are planned according to the needs of the person and include more than one technique. Similar to other aesthetic interventions, the patient's facial features, anatomical features and expectations from the operation are among the basic criteria in lip aesthetics. Accordingly, the specialist physician applies different procedures to create the most suitable lip form for the person, the procedures applied in this sense can be listed as follows:
Tissue grafts, which enable the lower layer of the lip to plump with the use of the patient's own body tissues, are applied with more than one technique. Dermis strips, fat cells or tissue needles under the skin layer can be used to increase the lip folds and to give the lips an attractive appearance. Dermis strip applications help to reveal more natural lips as they are made by using the body's own skin sublayers. Fat cells injected into the lips with thin needles are usually repeated in sessions every 3 months and are planned according to the needs of the person, this application gives more effective results than dermis strips.
In cases where the body's own tissues are not sufficient to add volume to the lips, foreign fillers such as hyaluronic acid are also frequently used. Hyaluronic acid, which is FDA approved and supports the natural appearance, is normally found in some subcutaneous tissues in the body, but the effectiveness of these substances decreases with aging. Hyaluronic acid, which rarely causes allergic reactions to collagen, is an effective method for thickening thin lips.
The incisions made on the inside of the lip are used to shorten the inner lip length by separating the lip cover and the mucosa. At the end of this application, which allows the lips to be reversed, there is an increase in the thickness of the lips, as well as the narrowing of the overly wide lip structure. It is often preferred because there is no scar at the end of the procedure.
The incisions made from the lip edge serve to turn the red part of the lips out and increase the lip contour line. From this area, interventions called "Eros oil" and made under the lip fat tissues are applied to reorganize the lip fold. In this way, the lip form is restructured and traces at the end of the procedure can be easily hidden cosmetically. This method is also preferred in cases where the lip shape is more prominent and the distance between the lips and nose is adjusted.
The most preferred method for increasing the height of the face and removing age-related sagging in the mouth area is the upper lip lift procedure. This process, which is effective in gaining volume and placing the sagging lips in their normal position with age, is also applied to re-adjust the distance between the lips and the nose. As a result, it provides a younger, vigorous and lively appearance to the face, and in some cases it can be used together with botox applications.
It is applied to reduce the excessively thick and uncomfortable lip volume. During the procedure, an incision is made inside the lip and excess mucous tissue is removed.
Wrinkles may appear on the lips over time due to the melting of the connective tissues under the lip skin. These wrinkles, which develop due to genetic factors and age, are sometimes caused by repeated mimic movements and damage the overall image. In order to eliminate lip wrinkles that have deepened and become grooves, applications that replace the melting tissues and laser peeling processes are used. In this way, the lips are made fuller and smoother.
Lip aesthetic applications are specially planned according to the wishes, needs of the person and the recommendations of the physician. For this reason, parameters such as post-procedure considerations and operation time are quite variable. The most commonly applied lip aesthetics are lip thickening techniques. This procedure, which is sometimes done with simple lip injections, may sometimes require surgical intervention. Especially after surgical applications, the risk of infection and bleeding in the procedure area is higher, therefore, physician recommendations must be strictly followed during the recovery phase. In order to increase the wound healing rate in the area and to prevent tissue disorders, it is necessary to avoid compelling lip movements and to protect the lips from sunlight for the period recommended by the physician.
The success of lip aesthetic applications also depends on the presence of additional diseases such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, before the procedure, the physician should be informed about regularly used drugs and chronic diseases. Since there are more than one lip aesthetic operation applied for the same purpose, the most appropriate treatment method can be decided in the light of additional information. In this way, the success rate of the operation increases and patient comfort is kept high.
