LIP LIFT NYC - REFRESH YOUR SMILE WITH A LIP LIFT SURGERY

Millions of people have had soft-tissue dermal fillings injected into their lips. However, few patients have been aware that they could receive permanent enhancements through surgical procedures. Patients who want long-term effects from their cosmetic treatments are turning to surgical options for permanent improvements.

For some people, lip lift surgery may be a good option if they want their upper lip lifted and lengthened. However, lip fillers may be a better choice for others.

Before having any cosmetic procedures done, you should follow these guidelines:

• You must refrain from eating and drinking for at least 6 hours before surgery.
• Don’t smoke for four months before your lip lift, then another four months after your surgery, because smoking can decrease circulation in your lips.
• It’s best not to drink alcohol for at least 48 hours before the operation, because it may affect anesthetic effects.
• Don’t take any medication that acts as a blood thinner (such as aspirin) for at least two weeks prior to elective surgery.

After your lips have been surgically reshaped, it is important to take good care of them so they can fully recover. Here are some tips for healing your new lips:

• After surgery, rest for at least one day and avoid strenuous activity until 24 h post-surgery.
• Don’t exercise for at least seven to fourteen days after your lips heal.
• Eat soft foods that don’t need a whole bunch of chewing, and skip eating anything hot or salty for at least 48 hours after surgery.
• Don’t sleep on your face; rather, lie down with your face up and your body resting on your back.
• You should avoid strenuous activities, don’t carry heavy objects, and don’t lean over or strain yourself for up to three days after surgery.
• Keep your lips together so that you don’t rip out any stitches.
• Brush your teeth carefully with a small toothbrushes designed for children
• After every meal, rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water. Then, use diluted hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the cuts and scrapes.
• Take arnica and vitamin c two weeks before and after your procedure to help prevent bruises and promote healing.
• After having laser resurfacing done, moisturize your skin with Lip Balm for at least 3 weeks.

Ideally, the distance between the subnasal and the upper lip’s wet/dry borders should be equal to one half the distance between the lower lip’s wet/dry boundaries and the chin. If the cutaneous part of the upper lip extends beyond its normal length, then the lips appear disproportionate.

The ideal vertical heights of the upper and lower lids should be equal. A patient may experience an improvement in facial symmetry following a lift of the lower lid alone. The amount of correction needed depends upon the initial degree of asymmetry between the two sides. For example, if the upper lid is 2 mm higher than the lower lid, then only half of the difference needs to be corrected.

During the normal aging process, lips begin to lose volume and contours. Red vermilion becomes thinner and the area covered by the lips grows longer. Lips may become fuller due to weight gain or loss. Lines appear on the edges of the lips caused by muscle contraction and relaxation. These lines can make lips appear older than they really are.
