Central lip lift vs. lip fillers

Central lip lift or central lip reduction is a cosmetic procedure in order to reduce the distance between the nose and upper lip.

It also will make your lip looks more youthful and increases tooth show.

A small incision is made at the base of your nose and the excess skin is removed. This procedure lifts your upper lip that makes improvement in the appearance of your lip.

We can classify the benefits of this surgery as below:

• Decreasing the distance between the nose and mouth
• Increasing tooth show
• Makes your lip looks more attractive
• Shortening the length of the lower mid-face
• Improving the wrinkles related to lip
• improving the corners of the mouth

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure in order to enhance the volume of your lips and make your smile more attractive. It also could help you to reduce the amount of wrinkles.

There are 3 ways for lip augmentation

• Fillers (injecting fillers could help you achieve your goals in a short time)
• Fat transfer (transferring fat from other parts of your body to your lips)
• Lip implants (using special implants for augmentation of your lip)

There is no difference for our surgical team to perform each of these 3 ways but we do not recommend lip implants as its side effects are more than its benefits and it may makes you regret.

So fillers and fat transfer are more reliable ways.

We can classify the benefits of this surgery as below

• It is a non-surgical approach
• The recovery time is lower
• The result is temporary
• Inexpensive cost of it
