Looking for examples of before and after lip lift treatment? This minimally invasive surgical procedure helps to create fuller, more youthful lips by lifting the upper lip. Your teeth become more visible and your face looks fresher. There are many before and after photos of lip lifts online. Clinics, plastic surgeons and people who have had the procedure show pictures from before and after the procedure. With one Bullhorn lip lift the plastic surgeon makes a small incision in the lip area and/or just below the nose. The excess skin is removed to tighten the lips and improve their appearance. Your upper teeth will be more visible when you smile and your mouth will appear fuller.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIP LIFT AND LIP AUGMENTATION WITH FILLER
The Bullhorn lip lift is a surgical procedure in which the doctor makes small incisions to improve the shape, position and fullness of your lips. A lip lift is performed under local anaesthetic. No anaesthetic is required for the procedure, which takes no longer than 45 to 90 minutes. The results of a lip lift are permanent. Another way to improve the appearance of your lips and mouth is with fillers. Fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid and are used to fill in the gaps. If you are considering a cosmetic treatment and prefer a permanent result, a lip lift is the better choice. A lip lift can be more beneficial than fillers. Not everyone reacts favourably to fillers, if the lips are not filled properly it can result in so-called "duckface lips". Something that most people want to avoid.
SUITABILITY FOR LIP LIFTING
A lip lift is not a surgical procedure reserved exclusively for older people who are bothered by thin lips. Adults of all ages are interested in the procedure, which improves their facial expressions as well as their appearance. Suitable candidates are:
- Healthy adults who want to improve their lip line and aim for facial rejuvenation.
- People who have a distance of at least 1 cm between their nose and upper lip.
- People who do not want to undergo filler treatment.
The doctor may consider you unsuitable for a lip lift. This is the case, for example, if the following occur:
- People who suffer from mouth infections.
- People who look up to scars, even if they are small and inconspicuous.
- Smokers who are not ready to quit before and after the lip lift.
- People who suffer from diabetes or other diseases that affect the blood's ability to clot.
COMPARISON LIP LIFT - BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS
If you are considering cosmetic surgery, it is interesting to see what results are possible. Today, the internet gives you access to clinics and doctors who perform lip lifts worldwide. Thousands of before and after photos of cosmetic surgery can be seen online. It gives an idea of the results that can be achieved. If you are looking on a personal blog or perhaps active on a beauty forum, try to see pictures from the time period between the before and after photo. You will not see the final result immediately after the operation. The result is only finalised a few months after the operation. Interim pictures show how the swelling and haematoma subside and how the scars slowly but surely disappear. Because the incisions are made as close as possible to the nasal folds, the scars are barely visible later on.
RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE A LIP LIFT
Before you undergo a lip lift, the cosmetic doctor will recommend the following:
- Do not eat or drink for at least 6 hours before the planned procedure.
- Stop smoking 4 weeks before the operation and continue smoking for 4 weeks after the operation. Smoking reduces blood flow, which will affect your recovery.
- Do not drink alcohol 48 hours before the operation.
- Do not take aspirin and/or blood thinners in the days before the operation.
RECOMMENDATIONS AFTER A LIP LIFT
After a lip lift, it is important to treat your mouth with care to allow it to heal. Some important recommendations are:
- Take it easy the day after the operation.
- Restrict your sporting activities for 7 to 14 days.
- Eat soft food that does not need to be chewed too hard and avoid hot drinks and salty food for the first 48 hours after the operation.
- Avoid strenuous activities for the first few days and do not lift any heavy objects.
- Do not open your mouth too wide.
- Brush your teeth carefully with a small, soft toothbrush.
- Rinse your mouth after every meal and clean the punctures.
- Moisturise your lips with a nourishing lip balm.
SIDE EFFECTS AND RISKS OF A LIP LIFT
Successful lip lifts are performed every day, but there is always a certain risk of side effects. There is a risk of infection, an opening and poorly healing wound and excessive scarring. To avoid the risk of certain side effects, follow the doctor's instructions. Serious complications such as thrombosis, fluid accumulation and loss of sensation are rare. If you have a persistent high temperature and/or other unknown symptoms in the days or weeks following the operation, you should contact your doctor.
