Sagging can occur in the lips as we age, just like in other areas of our face. This sagging causes the lip-nose distance to increase and aging signs such as inward turning of the upper lip corners occur.
In addition, young patients with long lip-nose distances and thin lips also prefer this permanent aesthetic method.
This operation is performed by lifting the desired lip areas upward with incisions made from the base of the nose. Thus, the lip-nose distance is shortened.
The operation can be performed under general or local anesthesia and takes an average of 1 hour. The patient can be discharged after the operation.
