What is a Lip Lift?
Lip Lift is a surgical procedure that reduces the space between the nose and the upper lip, accentuating the curvature and volume of the red lip. This technique is ideal for those whose upper lip has lengthened with age, which can hide the upper teeth when smiling.
How does a Lip Lift work?
The procedure is performed under local anesthetic. The surgeon removes a small strip of skin under the nose, allowing the shape and position of the upper lip to be altered. The scar is discreet, camouflaged under the nose.
What is upper lip repositioning?
This procedure is designed for people who show an excessive amount of gum tissue when they smile (gencival smile). The intra-oral incision raises the upper lip, making the smile less gummy and more harmonious.
How long does it take to recover from a Lip Lift or upper lip repositioning?
The recovery period after a Lip Lift or upper lip repositioning is relatively short. Most patients can resume their daily activities within 1-2 days of the procedure. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activity and direct exposure to the sun for the first few weeks. Minor bruising and swelling may occur, but these usually disappear within 7-10 days. Following the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon at Clinique Adonis is crucial for optimal recovery and to minimize any risk of complication.
