Considering each person’s
degree of drooping lip corners,
the correction is made in harmony
with facial balance.
To prevent the lip corners from
being lifted excessively
due to overcorrection,
a natural line is maintained.
Incisions are made along the lip line,
leaving scars that are barely visible.
There are individual differences depending on face shape and
features, but generally, if the upper lip is considered 2,
the lower lip having a ratio of about 3 is regarded
as the balanced lip line from a plastic surgery perspective.
At ATOP, we do not simply pull the lip mucosa,
but correct the position of the lip corners
by considering the surrounding muscles.
This allows us to restore symmetry to uneven lips
and create a positive impression even
when the face is expressionless.

lip corner angle

Mouth corner lift surgery involves excising a small triangular
section of skin around the corners of the lips.
The procedure takes into account the action of the depressor muscles around the mouth,
and the corners are repositioned and fixed in the direction of the lifting muscles
to achieve a naturally elevated appearance.
The procedure involves partial resection of the muscle responsible for pulling down
the mouth corners, followed by precise repositioning of the corners themselves.
Double suturing ensures stable healing,
and any scarring usually becomes minimal and less visible within 1 to 3 months.

When the philtrum skin is thick or long, making the lip line unclear,
and the upper lip looks thin compared to the lower lip,
lifting the lip corners along with reducing the lateral philtrum length creates better results.
This balances the overall lip shape and enhances facial definition.
