Lip correction surgery | Cheiloplasty

English subtitled video

The lip correction surgery performed by Clínica Sanza in Barcelona will depend on the case of each patient. There are some alterations, whether congenital or acquired, that affect the lip symmetry and their neighboring structures, and which may require a corrective procedure, wether medical-aesthetical or surgical, to redefine the harmony of the affected lips.

In the case of asymmetries an evaluation is necessary for each one of the structures to determine its’ cause and its’ possible solutions.

Clínica Sanza in Barcelona, Spain, is a centre of reference for lip correction surgery.

Existen dos procedimientos para realizar esta intervención, según se quieran resultados temporales o definitivos.

PROCEDURE

The lip correction surgery is similar to the one that is carried out to increase them. The procedure applied can either have temporary or definitive results.

If biocompatible substances, such as hyaluronic acid, are infiltrated, lip correction is effective as volume and projection are gained, but the temporality of these substances includes subsequent retouching.

In cases where the intervention allows it, a permanent and definitive procedure will be chosen through the internal labial mucosa and without infiltrating any products.
