There are 2 distinct parts to the mouth: the upper lip and the lower lip.
The lips are also divided into a white lip and a red lip.
As we age, the upper white lip becomes longer and the red lip thinner. In the lower part, the corners (commissures) of the red lip fall away and furrows appear, leading to the bitterness folds or marionette folds. Another furrow forms between the red lip and the chin.
This leads to an increasingly sad smile and ages the lower part of the face enormously.
But there is a solution…
Plastic surgery can hem or fill in an upper lip that is too thin or insufficiently hemmed using a tissue graft from another part of your body (fat or dermis). A red lip lift can also be performed using an invisible incision under the nose.
Finally, the various furrows can be filled in with fat and fine lines reduced with nanofats.
Every surgical procedure can involve risks and complications that the patient must accept; your plastic surgeon will make it his duty to reduce the rate of these by choosing the technique best suited to your medical situation. Complications such as haemorrhage, wound or prosthesis infections and poor healing, although relatively rare, can occur with any type of surgery.
