Lip

   Lips are structures which attracts attention according to physical appearance like nose. Thus, big and flashy lips have been accepted as the indicator of beauty, attraction and youngness since ancient times. Lip aesthetic surgery consists of aesthetic surgeries for making lips look better.

   Lips have an important place especially in facial beauty. Lip beauty provides face appearance become more beautiful and attractive. While big and flashy lips represent youngness, slim lips and lips which have wrinkles may represent elderliness. Slimness of pink parts of lips sometimes occurs genetically and sometimes occurs as tissues get slimmer depending on aging. Generally lip aging occurs as parallel with face aging. Chin structure, nose and teethes has important place in the appearance of lips. Except positions of lips, length and width of lips, thickness of upper and lower lips and appearance rate of teethes during smiling are also important for the operation. Lower lip must be thicker than upper lip; gingival must not be seen during smiling. Lips must be back of imaginary line that is drawn from nose –end to chin-end. Excessive lips those are beyond this line will not reflect aesthetic appearance. Lip aesthetic surgery is applied to persons whose lips are slim as genetically or slims as a result of tissue loss depending on aging in time, and whose lips are in normal situation but wants to appear younger and more attractive with thicker and flashy lips. Except this, if lips have excess thickness then lip aesthetic surgery is made by thinning and minimizing them.

   Lip aesthetic interventions that are made for thickening lip are gathered under two main groups. First of them are made temporarily and the second one are made permanently. While filling materials have important place among lip aesthetic interventions which are made temporarily, derfomat fat-skin grafts, fat injection and sling methods can be shown as example among lip aesthetic intervention which are made permanently.
