We use them when we talk, eat, smile or laugh. The lips are like the expression of ourselves, as they help us show our emotions too. It’s no wonder we may observe a lack of volume, marionette or smoker’s wrinkles when we get older. We may try to hide the symptoms of the passage of time, but it’s easier to go for a lip lift. Read about Lip lift in Turkey, Lip Lift Types and the cost of the surgery.

Lip lift procedure

Those who are worried about surgical lip lift should know the scars are not always visible. The surgery conducted by an experienced and highly-skilled operator is satisfying for the patients. 

The lip lift procedure is not complicated, and unlike lip fillers it’s permanent. To perform the procedure, a surgeon needs to remove a small strip of skin under your nose. This area becomes narrower, and we achieve the upper lip lift effect. 

The operation guarantees your lips don’t look plump, or duck-like, but natural. However, if you don’t have enough space between the nose and lips, the upper lift lip surgery may not be possible for you. 

If you are a smoker you have to stop doing it one week before, and from 2 to 4 weeks after the lip lift surgery. This is the period of healing, when smoking is forbidden.

Types of lip lifts

To be fully satisfied with the lip lift, you should understand the basic types of lip lift. Only then you can have a discussion with the surgeon on your expectations, and the doctor’s recommendations. 

Bullhorn lip lift is the most common operation, and it’s also known as a subnasal lip lift. The surgeon needs to get rid of the skin below and to the sides of the nostrils. You don’t have to worry about the incisions, as they are made along the base of the nose. 

A corner lip lift or grin lift, makes your face look happier, moving the corners of your lips up. Two incisions are made at both corners of the mouth, and then a small amount of skin is removed. 

A Russian lip lift will not be suitable to everyone, as it may leave a doll effect. The top lip is lifted while the sides are thin.

Italian Lip Lift is very similar to the bullhorn, with two incisions below each nostril. The scar is not noticeable.

Lip lift surgery cost

The first basic thing when looking for a surgical lip lift clinic is not looking for the lowest price, but for the best and highly-skilled surgeons. Choosing the cheapest place for the lip lift may often result in botched lip lift. 

The plastic surgeries in Turkey have the highest quality at affordable prices, so you really don’t have to worry about the cost of the lip lift.  The price may be higher if you decide to pair lip lift types.

If you don't know what lip lift is the best for you, make an appointment with a clinic in Turkey specialized in lip lift. The surgeon will give you advice and tell you about the further steps.
