Turkey medical tourism increase in years

Many people choose Turkey for lip lift procedure

Turkey is a popular destination for lip lift surgery due to its cost-effectiveness, lasting results, and appealing travel experience.

The chart illustrates the growth of medical tourism, showing significant demand even amid the pandemic challenges of 2021. This upward trend is projected to continue into 2024 and beyond.

Lip lift procedures and surgery techniques

A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to shorten the distance between the base of the nose and the vermilion border of the upper lip.

The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Incisions are made along the pre-marked lines, and the skin and subcutaneous tissue are removed to achieve the desired lift.

Preoperative markings are made with the patient seated. The incision lines are drawn along the nasal base and upper lip, ensuring symmetry and appropriate measurement for the planned excision.

Bullhorn Lip Lift

The subnasal bullhorn lip lift involves an incision below the nostrils, shaped like a bullhorn. 

This procedure shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip, creating a fuller and more youthful upper lip while hiding the scar in the crease beneath the nose.

Central lip lift

The central lip lift uses an incision at the base of the nose

It shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, revealing more of the upper lip for a fuller appearance. 

Unlike the bullhorn lift, it does not lift the sides of the lip.

Italian lip lift

The italian lip lift uses two small incisions below each nostril instead of one continuous incision. 

This technique allows for a subtle lift and can create more pronounced philtrum columns, enhancing the upper lip’s central dip.

Gullwing (direct) lip lift

The direct lip lift, or gullwing lift, involves an incision along the upper lip border

It removes excess skin to define the lip contour and enhance the vermillion (the colored part of the lips). 

This method can leave a more visible scar along the lip border.

Corner (grin) lip lift

The corner lip lift, or grin lift, targets the outer corners of the mouth

Small incisions at the corners lift the mouth slightly upwards, addressing sagging corners.

Thanks to this technique you get more balanced and happier smile.
