Cheiloplasty

Cheiloplasty is a number of techniques that can be used to reshape the lips. Today, there are several popular operations that are in high demand. However, there are a number of important differences between them.

Cheiloplasty is a purely aesthetic procedure that allows you to change the shape of the lips in one way or another. Among the most popular techniques are, for example, Bullhorn. The essence of this operation is the excision of a thin strip of skin under the nose, due to which the upper lip visually rises and becomes larger.

Another common technique is called VY-plasty, which is used to lengthen the upper lip in the center of it.

Another popular method is the corner lift, because allows you to raise the corners of the lips.

All of these operations are performed surgically with small incisions.

If necessary, cheiloplasty can be aimed not only at increasing, but also at reducing the lips.

Contraindications

A specific contraindication for such operations is the presence of surgical inserts made of silicone, petroleum jelly, biopolymer and other materials in the lips. Surgery should be abandoned if there are infections such as acne or herpes. Contraindications include hemophilia and acute respiratory infections (influenza, ARVI).

Preparing for surgery

No special preparation is required for cheiloplasty. With the doctor, the desired shape of the lips is selected, basic studies and analyzes are carried out.

Nevertheless, it is recommended to take into account the menstrual cycle to reduce the risk of developing hematomas and refrain from taking aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and preparations containing it for a few days before.

Operation

All variants of this procedure are carried out in the operating room using local or general anesthesia. The operation is not difficult, but it can be quite painful, so the type of anesthesia to be applied is always discussed with the patients. In most cases, local anesthesia is used, but sometimes general anesthesia is also possible.

Important recovery details

After the operation, stitches remain, which are removed after about 10-12 days. At this time, it is advisable to talk less and use facial expressions. You should stop eating hot food. To prevent the development of hematomas, it is better to use special compresses, which will be advised by a specialist. In general, you can forget about the restrictions about 2-3 weeks after the operation, but provided that the recommendations are strictly followed. As for scars, after cheiloplasty they are hardly noticeable and completely disappear after about 5-6 months.
