Lip Corner Lift at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Downturned corners of the mouth can create a sad, tired, or aged appearance, even when you feel your best. A lip corner lift, also known as a smile lift, is a subtle surgical procedure designed to gently elevate the corners of the mouth, restoring a more pleasant, youthful, and approachable expression.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our skilled surgeons use precise techniques to create beautifully natural results tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure. Our focus is to enhance your appearance while preserving your natural beauty.


Why Choose Lip Corner Lift Surgery?

Patients seek lip corner lift surgery for several aesthetic reasons, including:

  • Correcting a naturally downturned or drooping mouth
  • Softening a permanent frown appearance
  • Restoring balance and symmetry to the lips
  • Enhancing a more youthful, pleasant expression
  • Complementing other facial rejuvenation procedures

We aim to provide subtle, elegant results that brighten your appearance and boost your confidence.


Customized Approach to Your Lip Corner Lift Surgery

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, every lip corner lift procedure is tailored to suit the patient’s facial proportions and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Technique:

  • Small, Hidden Incisions: Typically placed at the outer edges of the mouth to minimize visible scarring.
  • Tissue Adjustment: Excess skin is removed, and the muscles at the corners of the mouth are lifted slightly to create an upward curve.
  • Combination Options: May be combined with lip augmentation or other perioral rejuvenation procedures for enhanced results.

We will work with you during your consultation to design the best treatment plan for your needs.


Consultation and Planning

Your journey at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic begins with a thorough consultation to ensure your goals and expectations are fully understood.

During the consultation, we will:

  • Examine your lip shape and mouth corners
  • Discuss your aesthetic desires and realistic expectations
  • Explain the surgical process and what to expect
  • Show before-and-after photos of similar patient cases
  • Answer any questions about the procedure, recovery, and risks

Our team focuses on open communication and patient education to ensure you feel confident and prepared.


The Procedure: What to Expect

Lip corner lift surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and typically takes less than 1 hour.

Surgical Steps:

  1. Incision Placement: Small incisions are made at the outer corners of the mouth.
  2. Tissue and Muscle Adjustment: The corners of the mouth are subtly lifted by removing excess skin and tightening underlying structures.
  3. Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a light dressing may be applied.

Patients are generally able to return home immediately following the procedure.


Recovery and Aftercare

Lip corner lift surgery involves minimal downtime and relatively mild discomfort.

You will be advised to:

  • Avoid excessive mouth movements for the first few days
  • Keep the area clean and avoid heavy makeup near the incisions
  • Avoid strenuous activity for 1 to 2 weeks
  • Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing
  • Follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team

Most patients return to daily activities within a few days, and final results become more apparent as swelling resolves.


Natural and Lasting Results

A lip corner lift provides a permanent correction of a downturned mouth, resulting in a more youthful, pleasant, and confident appearance. Our surgeons are dedicated to achieving refined, natural-looking results that complement your overall facial features.

With proper care, the results of a lip corner lift are long-lasting and can significantly enhance your expression and self-confidence.
