Why do I need cheiloplasty?
This is an operation with which you can naturally change the shape, volume of the lips, emphasize the beauty of other facial features, eliminate imperfections and age-related changes. At the consultation at Olympus Clinics, you can talk about your vision of beauty, the desired result and show references. Our plastic surgeons are sensitive people with a delicate taste. They take into account the wishes of the patient, his facial anatomy and offer a lip surgery option that improves natural features.
Types of cheiloplasty
Bulhorn
This is a lift of the upper lip by reducing the space between the nose and the upper lip. With bulhorn, the actual volume of the lips does not increase, only the shape changes. Therefore, there is no risk of getting the effect of "duck lips". A good way to determine what the approximate result will look like is to lift your upper lip with your finger. But for a more realistic idea, come to the consultation with the plastic surgeons of Olympus Clinics. Our experts will tell you in detail what the possible future result will be, taking into account your anatomical features.
Corner lift
The corner lift allows you to correct the drooping corners of the mouth, which may make the patient's face look sad and more adult. To do this, the surgeon removes a small amount of skin in the corners of the mouth, lifts and turns them out. As a result, the patient looks younger and others do not ask what he is upset about. Patients over the age of 40 are often chosen.
VY
This is a correction of the shape and volume of the upper or lower lip. And yet, you can eliminate asymmetry and signs of aging. The name of the operation is associated with a V-shaped incision, which the surgeon creates on the mucous surface of the lip, models the tissues, and then sutures in the form of the letter Y. As a result, the mucous membrane moves outward, which gives fullness to the lips. All stitches will be hidden, as the surgeon creates incisions inside the mouth.
Paris
This technique is similar to the VY method, but the surgeon performs incisions both vertically and horizontally, which allows you to create a heart shape. You can also get rid of the asymmetry, give the desired shape to the cupid's arch.
Kesselring
A lip augmentation method for patients with thin lips or with age-related volume loss. The surgeon makes an incision along the edge of the red lip border, then removes the necessary amount of skin and closes the incision with cosmetic sutures. This leads to an increase in the width of the red border and the size of the lip. You can adjust both the upper and lower lip, as well as form a new mouth line.
How to prepare for lip correction
After the consultation, the doctor will prescribe a list of tests to be performed before the operation. We have compiled a list of tests:
-
General blood test: to assess general health.
-
Coagulogram: helps to determine the rate of blood clotting, platelet levels.
-
Biochemical blood test: to assess the function of the kidneys, liver, and glucose levels.
-
Electrocardiogram (ECG): allows you to evaluate the work of the heart, identify possible abnormalities that may affect surgery.
-
Consultation with an anesthesiologist: to assess your condition, choose the appropriate method of anesthesia.
