MOUTH AND LIP ENHANCEMENT

The mouth is in the direct field of vision. Even smallest asymmetries, volume deficits or wrinkles become quite obvious.

A "gummy smile" is generated, when the upper lip moves too far up. If the distance between nose and upper lip stays too long, the mouth seems weak and immobile. The natural aging process leads to shrinking and wrinkling around the lips. Functional deficits interfere with communication.

The Procedure

Shortening or lengthening of the distance between nose and upper lips are little invasive procedures with great effect. Fillers around the mouth and in the lips using diverse materials change the shape dramatically and carry a very short recovery period. Local anaesthesia is sufficient and you can be discharged short after the procedure. There are various therapeutic options depending on the indication. Dr. Blaschke and his team will see you for regular checks. Sutures can normally be removed within a week. Possible bruising and swelling will dissolve within 1-2 weeks.


Surgeon’s Remarks

Operative interventions around the mouth are very effective but rare by comparison to the large number of fillers and injection methods in this area. I find the use of fat particularly appealing, as it is your own material, hence non allergenic, and it is very pliable and long lasting.
