Operative lip correction is a surgical procedure to improve the shape, position, and symmetry of the lips by precise tissue modeling. Unlike fillers, surgical lip correction does not only add volume, but works on the structure of the lip, which allows for a more natural and long-lasting result.
Surgical lip correction can include different techniques, depending on the individual needs of the patient – raising the upper lip (lip lift), reducing volume, correcting asymmetry or raising the corners of the mouth. Through surgical correction of the lips, a harmonious balance is achieved between the lips and other facial features.
The main advantage of operative lip correction is that the result is long-lasting and looks natural. Surgical lip correction is suitable for patients who are looking for a permanent solution without the need for maintenance procedures.

The most common mistake is that many patients try to achieve a result with fillers, which actually requires surgical correction.
The result is often:
1
The surgeon assesses the proportions of the lips and face. The most suitable technique is chosen - lip lift, volume reduction, V-Y advancement, etc. The surgeon precisely marks the areas for correction, taking into account the natural anatomy of the lips.
2
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which provides comfort during the intervention. Depending on the case, the following is performed: - upper lip lift (lip lift) - asymmetry correction - reduction or shaping The incisions are small and located discreetly. Fine sutures are used to minimize scarring and support a quick recovery.
The recovery period is usually mild and predictable:
The final result is evaluated gradually over several months.
It is important that patients have realistic expectations and are informed that a fine scar remains located discreetly under the nose.
If there is body hair in the area of surgical intervention, it should be shaved immediately before surgery.
