A lip lift in Toronto is a simple surgical facial procedure that lifts the upper lip and can result in a fuller, more youthful, more appealing lip area. As we age, collagen and elastin production naturally decreases. As a result, some people notice thinning lips that fall with age or a stretched upper lip that rolls inward and looks thinner over time. Lip concerns can also be hereditary, and some individuals are born with thin lips in need of a boost or wish to create the appearance of a more voluminous lip with this procedure. A lip lift is designed to decrease the length of the skin between the upper lip and the nose and increase the tissue in the pink area of the lip, making it look fuller.
In general, a lip lift procedure in Toronto will shorten the space between the top of your lip and the tip of your nose, but the specifics of the procedure will depend upon your concern and desired outcome. During your consultation, your surgeon will examine this area and make surgical recommendations based on your vision.
Lip lift surgery in Toronto is a simple surgical procedure with minimal risk, but it’s always good to be aware of potential complications like scarring, poor wound healing, or nerve damage. Choosing qualified, experienced surgeons with a legacy of superior results and happy patients is a great way to minimize your risks and to feel confident in your procedure.
Your surgical procedure will depend on the type of lip lift being performed, but surgery time is generally short (30-60 minutes) and can be done awake with a local anesthetic. During your procedure, the excess skin will be removed, and sutures will be placed within the hidden creases of your lip.
You’ll need to rest for at least 24 hours following your procedure and will need to avoid sleeping on your face, any dramatic movements with your mouth, or smoking. You’ll also need to regularly clean the sutures to ensure they heal quickly and healthily. Your surgeon will review the specifics of your surgery and recovery with you throughout the process, but keep in mind that everyday activities that involve your mouth, like brushing your teeth or smiling, may be modified slightly as your sutures heal.
