Mouth shape after plastic surgery

With the rapid development of the times in recent years, the beauty industry has become more and more popular. Many women have become obsessed with their faces and want to make some adjustments. However, there are also many people who are not satisfied with their mouths and are considering how to do plastic surgery on their lips. People who are suitable for lip plastic surgery include those with too big mouth, too small mouth, too long upper lip, too thick lips, and heavy lips. The surgeries corresponding to these mouth shapes are not difficult and do not involve any danger.

Who is suitable for lip plastic surgery?

1. Mouth is too big

If the width of the mouth exceeds the aesthetic standard, the surgical method is to remove the diamond-shaped tissue at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane at the corner of the mouth to make the corner of the mouth smaller. Since the suture site is hidden in the corner of the mouth, the postoperative marks are not obvious.

2. The mouth is too small

In addition to congenital factors, a small number of people require slightly larger corners of their mouths due to job requirements. In addition, there are a large number of people whose corners of their mouths become smaller due to burns, trauma, and scalds and need to undergo major surgery to open their corners of their mouths. The method is to cut a diamond-shaped skin on the outside of the mouth and turn the red lips inside the mouth outside. The postoperative marks can be covered by lip tattooing.

3. The upper lip is too long

The height of the upper lip exceeds the above absolute value or there is an imbalance in the proportions between the upper lip, lower lip and lower jaw, making the upper lip relatively too long. The correction method is to cut a strip of skin and muscle according to the shape of the vermilion arch below the upper lip and at the junction of the red lip and the white lip to shorten the upper lip. Since the incision is made at the junction of the red and white lips, the postoperative scar is not obvious. For those with a slightly longer upper lip, a strip of mucosa and muscle can be removed on the oral side at the junction of the red lip and the oral mucosa to shorten the upper lip. Generally, no trace will be left after the operation.

4. Lips are too thick

Including the thick upper and lower lips caused by hemangioma and lymphangioma, the thick red lip mucosa can be removed in a wave-like manner on the inner side of the red lip according to the shape of the lip arch, generally about 4-7 mm. Note that the mucosa and muscle of the upper lip should be removed symmetrically in an arch shape, while the lower lip should be removed in a crescent shape. The incision for this type of surgery is made inside the mouth and there is no trace on the surface. It is the most common lip cosmetic surgery.

5. Heavy lips

It is more common in young men, and it manifests as another red lip inside the red lips. It is more obvious when eating, talking and laughing. It is not caused by excessive muscle hypertrophy, but by hyperplasia of mucous glands. The surgical method is to remove the hyperplastic mucous glands from the mouth while preserving the oral mucosa as much as possible.
