Lip centering; a subtle correction for more harmony of facial features
A central lip is a delicate and minimally invasive cosmetic surgery that can make a noticeable difference in the overall proportions of the face by shortening the distance between the upper lip and the nose. Although this distance may not be noticeable at first glance, its effect on the youthfulness and attractiveness of the smile is very significant.
In people with this distance, the lips may appear thinner or the face may appear more elongated. Central lip surgery is performed to correct this condition, and the result is more prominent lips, a more beautiful smile, and greater harmony between the facial features.

Surgical Procedure
In this method, the surgeon carefully removes a very small section of skin between the base of the nose and the upper lip and reshapes the skin with fine stitches. The incision is made in the natural crease under the nose to hide the scar. After the repair, the upper lip is slightly higher, looks fuller, and the face looks younger.
Benefits of Lip Centralization
- Lasting results: Unlike filler injections, the effect of this surgery is permanent.
- Maintaining the natural shape of the lips: The shape of the lips is corrected without exaggeration or artificiality.
- Improving facial proportions: The distance between the lips and the nose is balanced.
- Increasing the attractiveness of the smile: The smile will be fuller and more harmonious.
