Overview
General Information
Lip lift surgery aims to make the upper lip appear more defined by shortening the distance between the base of the nose and the red lip border. It may create a younger, more balanced smile by increasing the visibility of the upper teeth when speaking or smiling.
The amount of tissue to be removed must be calculated carefully according to facial proportions. A natural result depends on preserving the original curves of the nasal base and avoiding excessive tension on the incision line.
How Is the Lip Lift Surgery Process?
The process begins with a detailed consultation and examination. The patient’s expectations, anatomy and functional needs are evaluated together. The surgical technique is then selected according to the problem that needs to be corrected.
The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia and with a personalized surgical plan. After surgery, follow-up visits and postoperative care are essential for safe healing and a stable result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does lip lift leave a scar?
Every surgical incision leaves a scar, but careful tissue release, tension-free closure and proper incision placement help make the scar less noticeable over time.
Can lip lift be performed together with rhinoplasty?
This combination is debated in the literature. Op. Dr. Ferhat Küçük does not perform lip lift and rhinoplasty in the same session.
Can lip fillers replace lip lift surgery?
No. Fillers increase volume, while lip lift changes the distance between the nose and upper lip. The correct option depends on the patient’s anatomy.
