Full, sensuous lips have been seen as a symbol of beauty and attractiveness for centuries. But what if the shape, length or appearance of your lips doesn't quite live up to your expectations? This can affect your self-confidence. Therefore, many people opt for lip fillers to beautify their lips. However, fillers only offer temporary results and are not always the best solution. If you are looking for long-term and natural enhancement, a liplift may well be the ideal choice for you.
A liplift is an aesthetic procedure that improves the shape and contour of the upper lip. The goal is not only to rejuvenate the appearance of the mouth, but also to add balance and harmony to the entire face. By shortening the distance between the nose and the lip area, the upper lip is subtly lifted, creating a youthful and fresh appearance. The results are immediately visible.
A liplift is suitable for both younger and older patients and can achieve various aesthetic goals:
Regardless of age, a liplift is often appropriate for anyone looking for a natural, long-lasting improvement in the appearance of their lips.
In this technique, tissue is removed from the area directly under the nose. Unlike the traditional method, this procedure is performed in the deeper layers of tissue, also known as the "deep plane."
Similar to a Deep Plane Facelift, the tension is placed on the deeper layers, providing a natural look and better healing of the scar.
For patients who additionally want to correct drooping corners of the mouth, a corner of mouth lift can be performed.
This gives a fresher and friendlier appearance.
It is also possible to combine a subnasal liplift with a corner of mouth lift for a fully customized and complete improvement of the mouth and lips.
The liplift is a relatively simple procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia. Most patients choose this because the procedure is short and can be performed completely painlessly under local anesthesia. If desired, the treatment can also be performed under general anesthesia.
The incisions are carefully placed in a natural crease at the base of the nose. This ensures that the scars are virtually invisible and healing is optimal. Within a short time after the procedure, you will enjoy a visibly improved appearance.
The main effects of a liplift are:
Shortening the distance between the nose and mouth.
Improved visibility of teeth with a relaxed facial expression.
Lifting and accentuation of the cupid eye.
Partial softening of lines and wrinkles around the lips.
Beautification and improvement of the position of the corners of the mouth (corner of mouth lift).
A more youthful appearance of the lips and lower part of the face.
Less need for lip fillers.
The end result is a harmonious, balanced appearance of the lips and lower part of the face.
