Lip Corner Lift Surgery Method

There are two surgical methods for creating smile lips in clinical practice. One of them is the external incision method, which refers to the surgical method of opening the mouth from the outside. The incision is made above the corner of the mouth to create a triangle, remove the local excess soft tissue, and use surgical sutures to lift the entire corner of the mouth. At the same time, a very thin muscle tissue called the depressor anguli oris at the corner of the mouth must be cut off. The reason why this muscle tissue needs to be cut off is that this muscle will pull the corner of the mouth down. After cutting it off surgically, the force of the anguli oris muscle tissue pulling down can be reduced. Create a smile lip.

Another method of smile lip surgery is the buried thread method, which is a surgical method that does not require surgery and is more suitable for those who are afraid of surgery. During the operation, the corners of the mouth are simply pulled up with surgical threads, so the durability of this surgical method is not as long as the internal incision method. The smile lip made by buried thread has a certain effect at the beginning, but because it does not remove excess tissue, it will return to its original state over time.

Principle of mouth corner lift surgery

The lip corner lift surgery is to remove the triangular skin on both sides of the lip corners to weaken the muscle force pulling the lip corners downward, and readjust the movement direction of the muscles on both sides of the lip corners to achieve the effect of lifting the lip corners. Through slight suturing, a new ideal lip corner shape and position can be created.
