Celebrity Lip Corner Surgery, No Joker Lips: Regaining a Natural Smile

There can be many elements that complete an impression and image, but it is no exaggeration to say that the “lips” play the most important role as the finishing touch in creating an attractive expression. Your facial features need to be generally balanced for your impression to look good and your appearance to seem more beautiful, but if you want the look you want, or an image that always seems bright and likable, a smile is really important. And when it comes to creating that smile, it is not the eyes or the nose, but the line of the lips and lip corners that plays a very big role. That is why some people undergo surgery for a brighter, more cheerful impression rather than a gloomy or negative one, and if problems arise, they may look into celebrity lip corner surgery. The first surgery should ideally go well so that revision surgery is not needed, but if there were mistakes in the previous surgery or if satisfaction is low, please consider consulting ATOP Plastic Surgery.

What is lip corner surgery?

The ends of the lips are called the lip corners. They play the most important role when making facial expressions. If they are slightly raised, the face looks bright and lively, as if smiling; if they point downward, the face can look sad and depressed. Since everyone wants a bright, likable image, the surgery chosen by people whose lip corners are overly drooped is lip corner surgery.

Even if the corners are drooped, it does not mean there is any functional discomfort or health problem. It is a typical cosmetic procedure. In other words, it is a surgery done to become prettier, more beautiful, and to have a brighter, more cheerful, and likable impression. But if the corners are lifted too much, or if the improvement is not enough, you may end up needing to check celebrity lip corner surgery and go back on the operating table once more.

Whether the purpose of surgery is health or cosmetic improvement, in fact everyone wants it to be done only once. Repeated revision surgeries are a burden mentally, physically, and financially. So if you check the purpose and necessity of this surgery and decide by examining whether it is truly needed for you, you may be more satisfied with the result.

Why do the lip corners droop?

Excluding congenital causes, the acquired reason is aging. For many of our health and cosmetic concerns, aging accounts for a large part. In the case of the lip corners, because the surrounding skin is thin, aging comes quickly, and since the muscles in this area are also very active when eating and making expressions, skin sagging can happen faster. As the skin and muscles sag, the philtrum gradually becomes longer, the lips become thinner, and the corners droop, leading to an overall change in the shape of the mouth. That is why people consider surgery, and if the corners were not lifted enough or were lifted too much, they look into celebrity lip corner surgery and undergo surgery again to improve it into a natural appearance.

There are many invisible muscles in our face. There are countless muscles in the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the brows, under the eyes, at the temples, cheeks, around the mouth, and at the jaw. Among them, the muscles around the mouth allow us to open and close the mouth, eat food, drink water, and speak. In particular, the lip corners have muscles called the levator and depressor muscles, which lift and lower them. People who make expressions that use the depressor muscles a lot may show drooping at the corners.

In addition, if you have had orthodontic treatment or medical procedures to correct the mouth shape, such as double jaw surgery, the philtrum may become longer, the lip line may become thinner, and the lip corners may droop as well. So if you are concerned about sagging caused by these reasons, please receive an appropriate solution at ATOP Plastic Surgery.

How can you achieve natural-looking lip corners?

Sagging areas need to be lifted, but if this is done too much, it can look artificial. Naturalness is the most important thing, so the levator and depressor muscles need to be examined closely, and after understanding their movement and strength, a surgical plan should be made. More important than celebrity lip corner surgery is the direction and method of the surgery.

After surgery, the lips themselves should look natural, and the overall change in expression should not feel awkward, so the movement of the muscles across the entire face must also be considered and the muscles corrected accordingly. This is necessary both to prevent recurrence and to avoid overcorrection.

By making incisions along the upper and lower lip lines respectively to minimize scarring, and by allowing the lip corners to rise only slightly upward without changing their shape, you can expect a more natural result. This can also reduce the likelihood of recurrence, so you do not have to rush around looking into celebrity lip corner surgery again.

What types need revision surgery?

With any kind of plastic surgery, if the result is unsatisfactory or if there are side effects, people consider revision surgery. Among those looking into celebrity lip corner surgery, the first type is when the intended goal was not achieved. The purpose of this surgery was to improve an impression that looked gloomy and sad. In other words, the problem was that the corners of the lips were drooping. So during surgery, these should be lifted slightly and improved into a brighter, smiling impression, but if that goal is not achieved, it may feel as if the surgery did little or nothing. In such cases, the surgery should be done again to achieve the desired look.

The next common type is when the correction is too excessive, meaning the mouth looks like a split mouth, almost like the Joker. This can happen when someone wants to lift and pull it too much out of desire for a bigger change. Because the muscles have been excessively repositioned and the area has been lifted too high, a noticeable change appears. In that case, please have it adjusted back to its original position so it can be improved naturally.
