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).
