Types of lip cheiloplasty at the NBMedical clinic

 Plastic surgeons at the NBMedical clinic are leading experts in this field, using the most effective treatment methods. One of the most popular is the bullhorn.

 The essence of this method is that the surgeon tightens the muscles and tissues around the mouth through an incision under the nose. The shape of this incision resembles bull horns, hence the name of the technique (bullhorn from the English – “bull horn”). This procedure takes more than an hour. There are no traces of the incision, the stitches are removed 5-7 days after the operation. Using the bullhorn technique, the doctor can correct the distance between the nose and the upper lip if the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip border exceeds 1.3 cm.

 The bullhorn is successfully used to correct lip asymmetry, soften the lines of the nasolabial triangle, and enlarge the thin upper lip. After the operation, the lower third of the face looks much younger and more harmonious. Moreover, the price for this type of lip contouring is in an adequate segment.
