Corner Lifting is a low-traumatic operation that is performed on an outpatient basis, and it is aimed at correcting the lips. The procedure in question is performed with local anesthesia.
With it, the smile line is corrected by excising small areas of the outer tips of the oral cavity above the upper lip. Incisions are made 2 mm away from the corners to raise the lip line. After the stitches are eliminated the lips will look with a slight smile.

At the request of the patient, the doctor during the operation can also remove wrinkles around the mouth. After such an intervention, the face looks younger.

Corner Lift is best performed under general anesthesia, the duration of the procedure is on average 40 minutes.
Then the client of the medical clinic should stay under the supervision of a doctor for a day, but if the operation passes without complications and at the request of the client, he can be released home earlier.

Preparation
Before the operation, you should stop smoking and taking blood thinners and painkillers, which include ibuprofen, aspirin and other medicines based on them.
After surgery, ice may be needed for recovery at home (it is effective for relieving puffiness), soft foods that do not need to be chewed (cereals, purees, smoothies, yogurts, cottage cheese, etc.) and medications prescribed by a doctor during the consultation. It is better to prepare everything in advance so that there are no problems after the procedure.

Operation
It can also be carried out under local anesthesia.

1. During the operation, the surgeon excises the skin along the previously outlined lines in the corners of the mouth and, as it were, tightens it, creating a tension of its tissues, which leads to the raising of the corners of the lips.
2. Then he stitches the incisions with self-absorbable threads, but if conventional medical threads are used in the selected clinic, then they must be removed a week after the procedure. The operation is painless.

After operation, you will need to adhere to certain rules:

• do not massage the lips;
• refuse to visit saunas, baths, warm baths;
• do not overwork physically;
• apply cold compresses to the lips daily;
• provide the mouth area with peace, that is, do not open it widely, do not stretch it in a wide smile, try to express less emotions, eat only soft food that does not need to be chewed for a long time;
• after each meal, rinse the mouth with an antiseptic solution to avoid infection in its wounds.

Also, three days after the operation, do not use cosmetics, and it is better to use special ointments and creams that stimulate cell regeneration to accelerate the healing of the mouth.
