Before deciding on surgical intervention for lip lift aesthetics, the following evaluations are made:

Health Status Evaluation: The patient's general health status, suitability for anesthesia and previous surgeries are reviewed. Allergic reactions and other health problems are examined.
Physical Examination: The lip structure, upper lip length and symmetry are evaluated. In addition, the harmony of the lips with the facial features is reviewed.
Aesthetic Goals: The patient shares the desired lip appearance with the surgeon and the most appropriate surgical method is determined in line with this request.
Information About Risks: The patient is informed about the possible risks, complications and recovery process of the surgery. Situations such as scars and infection risks that may occur on the lips are explained.

Lip lift aesthetics is usually performed with the following steps:

Anaesthesia Application: Lip lift procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia may be preferred. The patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
Incision and Stitching: A small incision is made just below the upper lip. This incision is naturally hidden by the lip line. The lip is lifted by removing excess skin from the incision.
Closing of Wounds: The cut area is closed with thin stitches. Care is taken in the placement of the stitches, so that the scars remain minimal.
Procedure Duration: Lip lift aesthetics is usually a short operation that lasts between 30-60 minutes.

The time spent in the hospital after surgery is important for the smooth progress of the recovery process. This process is managed as follows:

Monitoring: After the surgery, the patient is monitored in the hospital until the effect of the anesthesia wears off. This period usually lasts a few hours and the patient can rest comfortably.
Pain Management: There may be mild pain, swelling or discomfort after the lip lift procedure. Painkillers may be recommended for this condition and cold compresses may be applied.
Antibiotic Treatment: The patient may be given antibiotic treatment to prevent the risk of infection.
Discharge from the Hospital: Lip lift aesthetics is usually an outpatient procedure and the patient can be discharged the same day. However, in some cases, a one-day hospital stay may be required.

The recovery process at home after surgery is also very important for a successful result. This process should be managed as follows:

Rest: Care should be taken to rest for the first few days. Heavy activities should be avoided and, if possible, the head should be kept elevated while sleeping.
Wound Care: The cuts around the lips should be carefully cleaned and medications recommended by the doctor should be used. The area should be kept clean for wound healing.
Pain Management: Painkillers recommended by the doctor can be used for mild pain and swelling. In addition, swelling can be reduced by applying cold compresses.
Control Appointments: In order to monitor the healing process after lip lift aesthetics, regular control appointments recommended by the doctor should be attended.
Physical Activity: Excessive physical activity and movements that will put pressure on the facial area should be avoided for the first few weeks. Care should be taken until the skin heals.
Seeing Results: Significant improvements will be observed in the first few weeks after lip lift aesthetics. The full results will become clear within a few months and the lips will have a more aesthetic appearance.
