Is it good for a woman to have thick lips?

Many people say that people with thick lips are blessed with good fortune. In fact, these are just popular sayings. Thick lips have a great impact on a person's image, especially causing inferiority complex among people, making oneself feel very hurt. If the lips are thick, plastic surgery can be used to repair them. After adjustment, people will look more confident. Here I will introduce to you how some lip problems can be repaired.

Surgery

1. Repair of red lips: If the area is small, the repair of red lips can be done through local lip skin flap. If the area is large, it is necessary to transfer a mucosal flap with similar texture from other parts for repair.

2. Lip scars: Small scars can be treated with laser, direct excision and suturing, or repaired with local skin flaps. Larger scars require comprehensive consideration and can be treated with adjacent flaps, scar grinding, and other methods.

3. Lip defect repair: The repair of this type of deformity is more complicated, and the treatment plan is formulated based on the size and location of the defect. Reconstruction of large defects of the lower lip is difficult, mainly because the reconstructed lower lip lacks motor nerve innervation, making it difficult to restore the function of the lower lip.

4. Treatment of sunken upper lip and nasal floor: local tissue flap or autologous fat filling can be used.

Thick lips and heavy lips can be corrected through cosmetic surgery, which is simple, easy to perform, and the results are effective and long-lasting.

Unilateral cleft lip repair

Postoperative deformity of unilateral cleft lip and its secondary repair The manifestations of postoperative deformity of unilateral cleft lip caused by various technical reasons are diverse, so it is difficult to use one method to solve all postoperative deformities, but in general, the secondary deformity after unilateral cleft lip surgery can be summarized into three categories: insufficient height of the upper lip on the affected side, imbalance in the width of the upper lip and the lower lip, and poor morphology of the red lip.

Most of the cases seen in clinical practice are a combination of two or three categories. Therefore, the diagnosis of postoperative deformity and finding out the location of the deformity are of primary importance. The second is to design a repair method suitable for the case based on the overall condition of the nose and lips of each case and the conditions it has. Only in this way can the desired effect be achieved.

The unilateral cleft lip repair method is to correct it based on the original repair method. If the original Rose method was used, after removing the scar in the original surgical area, a "z" plasty can be performed on the upper 1/3 of the upper lip to correct it. If the original Millard method was used, the incision can be opened along the original incision, the width of the bottom end of the advancement flap on the affected side can be increased to correct it, and the upper lip height line can be extended. For the Tennison method, if the scar in the original surgical area is not obvious, a "z" plasty can be performed above the lip peak on the affected side to correct it; if the scar from the original surgery is obvious, the original incision can be made and the incision above the triangular flap can be extended to increase the width of the bottom of the triangular flap for correction.

Precautions before unilateral cleft lip repair surgery:

1. Do not take drugs containing aspirin within two weeks before surgery, because aspirin will reduce the function of platelet coagulation;

2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform the doctor of their condition in detail during the initial consultation so that the attending doctor can confirm the surgical plan;

3. Before the operation, make sure you are in good health and have no infectious diseases or other body inflammation;

4. Do not wear makeup before surgery;

5. Women should avoid the menstrual period.

Things to note after unilateral cleft lip repair surgery:

1. Use antibiotics, hemostatics and other drugs as appropriate;

2. Local cold compress can be applied as appropriate two days after surgery;

3. Remove the stitches on time according to the doctor's instructions;

4. Ensure the surgical area is clean and dry before removing the stitches, and try to avoid getting the surgical area wet;

5. Avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers;

6. Scar softening drugs can be applied to the incision after the stitches are removed;

7. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions and have regular follow-up visits.
