In the MN Dobrobut clinic, plastic surgeons work in 2 directions:

1. Eliminate objective lip defects that reduce the quality of human life.
2. They perform aesthetic operations aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the appearance without the presence of serious medical indications.

The first includes unilateral cheiloplasty, which is performed on children with congenital unilateral non-closure of the upper lip, popularly referred to as the “cleft lip”. In parallel, the surgeon can perform plastic surgery of the hard palate if the patient’s case is burdened with a cleft palate defect. Such an operation is performed starting from 3 months of age if the baby has gained 5 kg.

If a person needs lip augmentation surgery to look more attractive, then the age of patients starts from 18 years.

The service is relevant for young people who want to improve the aesthetics of their appearance, as well as for middle-aged and older people who are interested in the opportunity to make their faces young and beautiful.

The patient must be tested and diagnosed. These costs are not included in the price of lip cheiloplasty. The surgeon individually draws up a plan for the operation, chooses methods. The marking of the tissue resection scheme is carried out before being sent to the operating room.

If the scheme satisfies both in the horizontal and in the vertical position of the body, the operation is started.

1. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia is performed.
2. The doctor makes incisions according to a previously performed scheme, excises the desired areas of the skin.
3. The tissues are tightened and fixed in a new position, fat is redistributed.
4. Seams are applied.
5. The patient is removed from anesthesia/sedation, the condition is monitored.

Cheiloplasty in Ukraine takes from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the skill of the surgeon. The specialists of the MN Dobrobut clinic are highly qualified surgeons with extensive practical experience.

On average, recovery from cheiloplasty takes about 15 days. To reduce the risk of edema and bruising, cold compresses should be applied, ointments prescribed by a doctor should be used for the speedy healing of tissues. On the 5-6th day, the stitches are removed. Most patients return to work the very next day.

After the operation, you should not do procedures that increase the body temperature (bath, sauna, solarium), avoid direct sunlight on the lip area, refuse to visit the pool, beach until the wounds are completely healed.

In case of complications, contact your surgeon immediately.

After the end of the rehabilitation period, the patient receives beautiful, seductive, symmetrical lips with a clear contour and attractive volume. After 2-3 months, there will be practically no traces from the seams, you can rightfully enjoy the reflection in the mirror and the compliments of others.
