Lip Correction Surgery

Micro-adjustment surgery seems to be a common phenomenon nowadays, and many women will achieve the purpose of adjusting their deficiencies through this type of surgery. Lips occupy a key part of our face, so having beautiful lips can add a lot to your charm. Especially for people with thick or skewed lips, lip correction surgery can be more helpful to them. So today we will learn about lip correction surgery with you.

1. The most common lip plastic surgery procedures include: thick lip thinning, thin lip thickening, double lip shaping, lip bow shaping, lip bead shaping, etc. Thick and heavy lips require a strip of lip mucosa to be removed in the mouth. Thin lips are created by cutting a strip of skin off the edge of the upper lip to make the red lips everted and thicker, while also forming a noticeable lip bow. Obvious protruding lip bead requires reconstruction using local red lip tissue. In addition, the excessive length of skin between the base of the nose and the red lips (medically known as white lips) can also be corrected through surgery. After lip surgery, the swelling will recover quickly after a short period of time and generally will not affect diet and lifestyle.

2. The medical name for thick lips is lip polyps. Human lips are turned outward, exposing part of the mucous membrane. If the lip mucosa is obviously protruding, it will cause the lips to be too thick, giving people a simple and honest impression. People who like to chase fashion know that thick lips once became a symbol of sexiness. If the mucous glands under the lip mucosa proliferate and hypertrophy due to stimulation for various reasons, they will tend to fall downward under the action of gravity. When talking or smiling, the lip muscles in the normal position will contract, forcing the mucosal tissue in the fallen area to sag and evert, which will cause a double lip deformity.

3. The most ideal way to correct double lip deformity is lip plastic surgery. This plastic surgery is not very complicated and can usually be performed in an outpatient clinic. Taking the upper lip as an example, an incision with an aesthetic arc is designed to make the lip bead of the upper lip obvious after lip plastic surgery to add beauty. After infraorbital nerve block anesthesia or local infiltration anesthesia, a spindle-shaped incision is made on the inner side of the lip. The width of the lip mucosa and submucosal tissue removed should be based on the beauty of the lips after surgery, generally 4 to 6 mm, and the longitudinal sections of the two incisions should be at a certain angle. After removing a piece of mucosa, plastic surgery and suture are performed to make the thick lips thinner.
