In consultation before the procedure, the lip structure is examined by a plastic surgery specialist.<\/p>\n<p>A pattern in the shape of a gullwing is drawn between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip. The tissue is removed with the operation, and the upper and lower tissues are brought closer and sutured.<\/p>\n<p>The time for suture removal is determined according to the thread preferred in the surgery. The procedure usually takes 15-20 minutes, and after a few days, one can quickly return to their social life.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_what_purpose_is_it_preferred\"><\/span>For what purpose is it preferred?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>To reduce the distance, especially in people who have extended the distance between the base of the nose and the lip after aging,<\/li>\n<li>To remove structural upper lip lenght<\/li>\n<li>To eliminate deformations that have formed after trauma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_whom_can_it_be_applied\"><\/span>To whom can it be applied?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It can be applied to people with a standard midface skeletal system and dental sequence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_whom_it_is_not_applicable\"><\/span>To whom it is not applicable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is not preferred in individuals with apparent upper gingiva.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_do_the_results_last\"><\/span>How long do the results last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The mouth area tends to be closed with a double-layered muscle group.
