Lip enlargement with a skin graft

There are three types of surgical lip augmentation:
• By transplanting skin tissue
• Gull-wing Lip Lift - lip enlargement by cutting on the edge
• Bullhorn Lip Lift - that is, enlarging lips by cutting under the nose

Lip augmentation with a skin graft

During the procedure, a thin strip of skin is cut from the patient with little visible spots, such as old scars or less visible areas of the body (near the lower abdomen, tailbone). Then it is transplanted into the lips by pulling it through the incisions at the corners of the mouth. The procedure takes about 1.5 hours and can be carried out on a patient under the influence of local anaesthesia.

Benefits:

• Healing lasts only 4 days, it is practically painless and there is no need for hospitalization after the procedure

Enlargement of the lips using the nose cut method (Bullhorn Lip Lift)

Bullhorn lip lift is a durable and effective method with an excellent cosmetic effect consisting in making a small incision along the toe grooves with a small, almost invisible scar remaining.

This procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, although there is an option of general anaesthesia, it takes about 40 minutes and after the treatment seams are applied.
Who is the surgical enlargement of the mouth for whom?
This method is especially dedicated to those patients who expect both the red lip enlargement and the shortening of the upper lip (from the labial lip to the lower edge of the nose).

Time and course of convalescence:

Sutures are pulled down after weeks and the total swelling and bruising disappear after about 10 days. During this period, primers can be used to cover up the scar visible in the first weeks. Avoid sun exposure and do not go to the solarium for about 2-3 weeks after the treatment. The final effect is visible after about 6 weeks.

Enlargement of lips by cutting edge (Gullwing Lip Lift)

The Gullwinglip lift method is a method of making an incision along the labial red on the border where the colored part of the mouth coincides with the flesh-colored part above the upper lip. The fleshy skin belt of the size determined with the patient is removed and the lip is pulled up and lined up.

Enlarging the lip is the result of the discovery, separation, displacement and stitching of the upper layer of surrounding tissue. This procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, although there is an option of general anaesthesia, it takes about 40 minutes and after the treatment seams are applied.

For whom:

This is the most effective way for people with very thin upper lips.
