Upper lip surgery is a surgical procedure that can be performed by both men and women and consists in shortening the distance too far between the nose and the upper lip and obtaining a larger upper lip.

Among the advantages of this intervention is the fact that the results are permanent unlike the injections of hyaluronic acid that must be performed at a certain period of time.

The surgery is performed with local anesthesia and consists of making an incision at the base of the nose, followed by removing excess skin, obtaining the volumization of the upper lip and the repositioning of the corners of the mouth.
