Upper Lip Lift - Shortening
This will shorten the vertical height of the upper lip, as part of a :
- FFS surgery, in order to have a more female looking lip
- facial rejuvenation (i.e. when getting older , the upper lip becomes longer, due to gravity and the effects of the sfincter funtion of the orbicularis oris muscle).
This is an excellent solution for patients with a long upper lip (often in aging) , through a incision just below the nose.
The lip is fixed a the septum, and thus lifted, with an inconspicuous scar. Also often done in FFS surgery, as in young females, the upper lip is shorter than in males.
A short upper lip is a sign of youth.
Technique :
either skin, or skin and orbicularis muscle excision , through an 4-6 mm invisible skin excision at the base of the nose.
Healing time :
Sutures are removed after 7 days
Swelling for 10 days
