Lip Lift
Lip Lift in Turkey
A lip lift is a type of procedure that involves reducing the distance between the top of the lip and the nose, often known as the “philtrum”. This procedure makes more pink tissue exposed, giving the lips the appearance of being bigger and more prominent. It is a wonderful option for people who only want to give their lips lift rather than volume.

Things to consider before Lip Lift in Turkey
- Please inform the medical team about the medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements you use during your medical evaluation.
- Stop using aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, Vitamin E, herbal supplements, or any medications containing these compounds for two weeks before surgery.
- Stop drinking green tea at least 10 days before surgery.

Types of Lip Lift in Turkey
1. Subnasal Bullhorn Lift
This method is one of the most popular and widely used for lifting the lips. The Bullhorn Lip Lift procedure involves pulling the upper lip up from the middle using a horn-shaped cut under the nose. Under the nose, there is a concealed incision scar. Patients who have a large philtrum area are suitable candidates for this procedure since it is quite effective and delivers good outcomes.
2. Central Lip Lift
To do this procedure, a single incision is made close to the nose’s base. The distance between the nose and top lip is reduced to display a larger upper lip. Due to its lack of side lift, it is less versatile than the bullhorn lip lift.
3. Italian Lip Lift
The incisions that are made for the Italian Lip Lift are different from those that are made for the Bullhorn Lift. Instead of one large incision across the nose, two smaller ones are done at each nostril. This provides only a slight lift. The Italian Lift may, on the other hand, produce philtrum columns that are more noticeable. The upper lip’s center dip is framed by these vertical elevated lines.
4. Direct Lip Lift (Gullwing Lift)
This kind is carried out by creating a cut along the upper lip’s top contour, which resembles the shape of the feathers of a flying gull. In order to improve the vermillion, the colored part of the lips, the direct lift eliminates extra skin from the region above the upper lip. This results in a more defined upper lip line. The gap between the lips and nose gets narrower. This kind of lift leaves an upper lip scar that can be covered with makeup.
5. Corner Lip Lift (Corner of Mouth Lift)
Instead of lifting the upper lip, the corner lip lift elevates the mouth corners. In order to carry out the procedure, small cuts are made in the top corners of the mouth’s corners. After removing a tiny portion of skin in the shape of a triangle, the corners of the lips are brought slightly closer together and slightly elevated. People who are concerned that their expression always appears unhappy or serious, choose this sort of it since it corrects sagging lip corners.
How is Lip Lift performed in Turkey?
The first step in this surgery is giving the patient anesthesia. Generally, local anesthesia is applied however general anesthesia can be applied too. An incision will be made by the surgeon slightly above the corner of your top lip, in the crease that lies between your nose and lip. The incision may be done in a different place or concealed in the natural crease, depending on your needs and desires. After making the incision, the surgeon will elevate the upper lip’s tissue and skin. More of the upper teeth will be seen as well as a more pronounced Cupid’s bow which is the V-shaped region above the lips. Finally, sutures will be used by the surgeon to close the incision.
Day of Lip Lift
- You shouldn’t drink or eat anything 6 to 8 hours before your treatment.
- You shouldn’t wear any facial or eye makeup and you should avoid nail polish.
- Prior to the surgery, you should take off your wig, jewelry, and contact glasses.
- You should bring your ID/passport and if you have any medical conditions, you should bring medical reports with you.
- You should wear loose-fitting clothes instead of clothes that you have to pull over your head.
Recovery after Lip Lift in Turkey
You may feel tightness in your lips and a swollen mouth right after getting a lip lift. Within the first week, the majority of the swelling will go down. Most swelling and bruising should disappear within a month. Up to six months may pass before the lips feel entirely normal and the smile is completely expressive.
In this procedure, you will need sutures, however after the first week, either the stitches will fall out on their own or your doctor will remove them. To relieve incision tension and ensure an invisible scar, deep dissolvable stitches are used.
Lip Lift Post-Op Instructions
- In the following weeks, you should avoid excessive exercise and smoking.
- It is not recommended to sleep on your face and to sleep with your mouth open.
- When you brush your teeth, you should be careful and use a small toothbrush.
- You shouldn’t let your lips dry out.
