A tribute to fashion, discontent with your appearance, trauma or birth defects make you think about the cardinal change of those or other parts of the body. Lip plastic surgery is one of the most common reasons for contacting a specialist in plastic surgery. What is good and insidious such a procedure? What are the methods of conducting it? This is in our today's article.
Plastic surgery of the bridle of the upper lip with a laser
The pathology of the bridle of the upper lip is most often diagnosed in the hospital. A baby whose bridle is too short may have difficulty with sucking, in the future have an incorrect bite, problems with the gums, the growth and shape of the upper incisors. Therefore, parents of such children are immediately offered an operation to cut the bridle of the upper lip. If no visible problems were observed in infancy, a short bridle is pruned after 3 years or after the appearance of the upper incisors.
The plasticity of the frenulum of the lip is not a whim, but a visible necessity for the further development of a full crumb. Since the operation is not difficult, it lasts, on average, 15 minutes. Carry out this procedure using local anesthetic drugs (injection, gel).
Plastic bridles can be carried out in two ways:
- normal scalpel pruning;
- plastic with a laser.
A second, more modern method is used using a laser apparatus that acts as follows: the laser beam "dissolves" the attachment point of the short frenum. After such an operation, the risk of infection of the wound is significantly reduced, since the edges cut off by the laser beam are sealed. No suturing is required, which significantly reduces the time of the procedure. Healing occurs in a very short time. After 4-5 days the patient feels and behaves as usual. In the same way, the plastic of the bridle of the lower lip is made.
Lip plastic surgery - cheyloplasty
Hailoplasty is the reduction or enlargement of the lips. To improve the appearance of many women think about an operation of this kind. But the doctor makes the final decision on the possibility or necessity of performing a plastic surgery.
The change in the shape and size of the lips by surgery occurs with general anesthesia (surgical sleep) and lasts, as a rule, 30 to 50 minutes. The plastic of the upper lip provides, as a rule, a change in its shape according to certain standards that exist in modern plastic surgery and meet the current canons of beauty.
One of the requirements is the proportionality of the upper and lower lips. The top should be a little thinner than the bottom one. Also, with the plastic of the upper lip, the line of the color boundary between the skin of the face and lips is clearly distinguished. The lower lip is also made according to all standards, proportionality is observed and the lip contour is allocated. During the operation of cheyloplasty, depending on the wishes and condition of the lips of the patient, they achieve different results:
- increased lip volume ;
- reduction of the volume of the lips;
- resumption of lip fullness after age-related changes;
- raising corners of the mouth;
- decrease in the height of the dermal part of the upper lip.
To increase the volume of lips apply synthetic absorbable fillers based on hyaluronic acid or fatty tissue of the patient. Unsuccessful lip surgery is very rarely seen after surgery.
The result can be objectively assessed only after the healing of the joints and the disappearance of edema - approximately 2 weeks after the procedure.
Contour lip plasty with hyaluronic acid
In addition to surgical lip plasty, there are injectable ways to improve overall appearance. They do not require surgical intervention, the introduction of anesthetics and a long healing process. The result of such a correction of the lips is immediately apparent.
The introduction of a gel based on hyaluronic acid under the skin of the lips makes it possible to form the desired contour, to enlarge the lips, to reach the correct shape and the necessary proportions. This increase in lip - plastic with hyaluronic acid - has almost no contraindications. The filler material in this case is as close as possible to the natural cellular composition of the skin.
