Cheiloplasty or Lip Surgery and Augmentation New Fashion in Modeling World

What is Cheiloplasty? 

Cheiloplasty or lip surgery

Cheiloplasty, or lip surgery,  is a very simple cosmetic intervention which gives the lips the volume and sensuality necessary for beautifying and rejuvenating the face. This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It is always performed under local anesthetic and takes an average of 20 minutes.

This treatment can be applied to increase or decrease the volume of the lips, or to correct congenital or acquired anatomical alterations. 

WHAT TYPES OF CHLOROPHASTY ARE THERE?

There are three types of Cheiloplasty:

•          Augmentation cheiloplasty or lip augmentation for thin lips or lips that have lost their volume due to facial ageing.

The facial aesthetics experts at the Maxillofacial Institute perform lip augmentation using two techniques:

•             Lip augmentation using fat obtained from Buccal fat pads or fat deposits in the cheeks.

•             Lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid with properties that immediately revitalize, hydrate and rejuvenate the lips.

Both techniques offer excellent results: the lips acquire a natural, healthy, young and fresh appearance after augmentation cheiloplasty.

•             Reduction cheiloplasty, a less frequent treatment for patients  with overdeveloped lips that are not very harmonious with their other facial features.

•             Corrective cheiloplasty for patients who have suffered alterations in their lips caused by tumor's, trauma, burns or lesions or by congenital alterations such as a harelip.

IS CHEILOPLASTY FOR ME ?

Candidates for cheiloplasty have different profiles:

•             people with thin lips who want to increase their volume

•             people with too thick lips who want to reduce their volume

•             people with congenital disorders or who have seen their lips affected by some disease

•             people who underwent some previous treatment that failed

It is important to keep in mind that some people with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases may not be suitable for cheiloplasty. The patient will undergo the necessary medical examinations for the surgeon to approve the procedure. Also, active smokers should take special care, since smoking is not recommended if this type of procedure is practiced.

Cheiloplasty is performed in a minimally invasive way, always with ambulatory sedation and without hospital admission.
