Lip Augmentation
Cheiloplasty is the plastic surgery of the lips. Over time, the lips (consisting of the ‘white lip’ skin and the ‘red lip’ mucosa) lose tone and volume, leading to progressive thinning.
By interventions under local anesthesia, it is possible to increase the amount of exposed red lip or, if indicated, it is also possible to implant a silicone prosthesis.
The purpose of this surgery is to give the lips tone and harmony with the face again. It is also possible to treat the lips with hyaluronic acidbased fillers which, however, involve a resorption time that varies from case to case.
Estimates are indicative and results may vary:
Hospitalization Outpatient Anesthesia Local Duration of intervention 30 min Observation period 2 hours Suture removal 7 days Resumption of social activities 2 days Resumption of sports activities 10 days
