Thick lip thinning
In our daily work, we will meet many patients who want to plastic their lips. Some of them have affected the shape of their lips because of their thick lips, usually showing thick lips or heavy lips. Therefore, to reshape the perfect lip shape, it must be done by thinning the thick lips or correcting the lips.
Indications for thinning of thick lips
Lip thickness means that the upper and lower red lips are too thick, which is greater than the normal thickness (the height of the upper red lip of normal adults is 5-8 mm, and the lower lip is 10- 13 mm). Patients can improve their appearance through surgery. More common in the lower lip. Generally speaking, the lower lip is more prominent and wider than the upper lip. Usually, thick lips have no obvious lesions, but the appearance affects the appearance. Thick lips give people the impression that they are very stupid.
Lip is a pathological mucosal hyperplasia, hypertrophy and thickening. More common in upper lip and red lip. Open your mouth and you can see two layers of lips, with two different lip grooves in the middle. Pathological examination of some patients with double lips showed hypertrophy and hyperplasia of submucosal glands. This situation can be changed by surgery to help shape the lip shape.
Operation skills of thinning thick lips
1. The design of incision line is the key to successful operation. The incision line should be inside the red lip. The incision line of the upper lip should be parallel to the upper lip arch, and the width of the resected lip mucosa should be based on the beauty of the lip after operation.
2. The incision of the lower lip should be parallel to the arch of the lower lip, so as to approach the natural lip curve.
3. Avoid serrated incision when cutting tissue.
Matters needing attention after operation
1. Generally, dressing is not applied after operation. After suture, apply antibiotic ointment and take antibiotics orally 1 week to prevent infection.
2. Liquid diet for 3 days;
3. Mouthwash for daily use, such as borax and Deobert's solution, 4-6 times, pay attention to oral cleaning;
Take vitamin C and antiviral drugs orally in the next five days.
