Lip Reshaping

Lip augmentation

Goal: Improving the contours and thickening of thin lips, as well as correcting asymmetry.

Operational technique: Lips can be enlarged in the best, safest and most permanent way by injecting your own fat tissue taken with a thin needle from another part of the body where it is in excess and simultaneously transferring it to the thinned lips with thin cannulas. In the hands of an experienced surgeon, there are no complications such as infection, rejection, excessive fat resorption and potential deformities. Injection of hyaluronic fillers is much faster, easier and simpler for an experienced plastic surgeon, but not for numerous injectors of different profiles where, despite the apparent simplicity, numerous problems occur. On the other hand, all types of hyaluronic fillers are artificially made, they imitate natural hyaluronic acid to some extent, but never completely, and with the technical shortcomings of the injector, they can lead to numerous complications such as infection, granulomas, etc. which are difficult to correct. Also, they should never be injected in large quantities or over a long period of time because then they surely lead to complications.

Duration of the procedure and anesthesia: Lip augmentation with your own fat tissue is performed under local block anesthesia or IV analgosedation completely painlessly for about 30-40 minutes, while the procedure with the injection of quality approved and registered fillers of the hyaluronic acid type is significantly shorter, about 5 minutes.

Recovery: A few days after the intervention, there may be a minor swelling or bruising that quickly subsides spontaneously, but you should refrain from excessive stretching or massaging of the lips. Since there is a normal degree of resorption of the skin (about 50%), it is possible to repeat the procedure after some time in order to get a more pronounced result that is permanent and lifelong, which is a special advantage compared to hyaluronic fillers, whose lifespan is usually a couple of months.

Rare complications: Slight swelling of the lips, minor bruising for hyaluronic fillers and a possible allergic reaction with swelling and redness that is easily treated.

Shortening of elongated upper lip - Bull horn Lip lift

Operative technique:In cases of an elongated upper lip that represents a major aesthetic defect, it is necessary to shorten the upper lip through a smaller hidden scar under the fold of the nose that is barely noticeable, the so-called. “Bull horn lip lifting”. In this way, the upper lip is effectively shortened and spontaneous everting increases at the same time, especially if it is thin.

Duration of the procedure:The intervention is performed under local anesthesia or iv analgosedation painlessly and effectively, it lasts about 30 minutes.

Recovery:After the operation, there is a small swelling that goes away spontaneously in 5 days, and the sutures are removed 6 days after the intervention. The scar is hidden and treated with creams for better healing for the next 4 months.

Surgical lip augmentation

Operative technique: In cases of very thinned lips, the injection of any fillers (natural or artificial) cannot lead to adequate and normal enlargement of the ruddy part of the lips, on the contrary, it can lead to unnatural deformations of the “duck lips” type, immobile and cartoonish appearance of the lips themselves, which is definitely not the goal of aesthetic surgery and which can largely be seen on numerous internet sites. In that case, a simple surgical intervention is performed on the inside of the lips, the so-called “W-Y plastic”, which leads to an increase in the pink part of the lips.

Duration of the procedure: The intervention is performed under local anesthesia painlessly and efficiently and lasts about 30 minutes.

Recovery: After the operation there is a small swelling that goes away very quickly and the threads are removed 6 days after the operation.
