WHY?
Why the Golden Diamant lateral lip lift?

  • 01

    Lip line correction and
    the lip corners at once!

    With over 20 years of know-how, we create harmonious, ideal lip lines that match your facial features
    and achieve balance to plan natural
    and attractive lips.

  • 02

    One-to-one custom perioral
    surgery by lip type

    According to each person's lip shape we find
    the appropriate surgical method and perform
    the lateral lip lift with a custom design
    that achieves balance with the face

  • 03

    The thorough aftercare of
    a private surgery clinic

    With a systematic aftercare system we encourage
    rapid recovery after surgery and take pride in higher
    satisfaction with less scarring.

The lateral lip lift!
We recommend it if you have these concerns!

  1. 01Where the lip corners do not droop but the slope of the lips is steep, making you look older or your lips look small
  2. 02Where the lip corners droop and the slope of the lips is steep so that the upper lip rolls in and the lips look short, and lip corner surgery alone is not enough to improve the mouth shape
  3. 03Where there is left-right asymmetry in the lip line, corrected by performing a lateral lip lift on one side only

Reborn with a likeable impression

  • Improving rolled-in lips
    a balanced mouth shape

  • Improving lips that look protruded
    because the centre is lifted

  • An attractive impression from surgery
    that considers facial harmony

  • The Golden Diamant lateral lip lift,
    where naturalness stands out

Fast recovery + less scarring + custom technical skill

An individually tailored design

The ‘lateral lip lift’
is performed like this!

Perioral surgery effective for correcting triangular lips (T-shaped lips)

By changing the slope of the outer part of the lips, we correct lips where the outer sides are curled
making the length of the lips appear short, or where the central part is lifted
making the lips look protruded, to design a natural lip line.

A custom design for the lateral area

Through three stages — balance design, photo design and custom design —
a custom plan is drawn up to suit you.

STEP 2

Excision and elevation following the plan

Following the custom design plan,
the skin at the outer lip is excised, elevated and fixed

STEP 3

Multi-layer composite suturing and fine suturing

With multi-layer composite suturing of four or more layers and fine suturing,
we reduce the burden of scarring and side effects after surgery
and extend the duration for a highly satisfying operation

* Results and recovery times may differ from person to person.

※ Side effects such as bleeding, swelling and scarring may occur
※ However, whether side effects occur may differ from person to person, and recovery times may vary.

Golden Diamant stays with you through recovery

Golden Diamant continues to monitor your recovery even after surgery or a procedure is finished.

Where the medical team judges that scar care is needed because of an incision or tissue harvesting, a scar care programme using Fraxel laser and scar-reducing medication is provided up to three times at no additional cost, according to the state of recovery.

If a scar remains after basic care or further treatment is needed, the medical team checks the condition in person and advises on the care required from among more than six lasers, more than four medications and stem cell treatment.

We do not stop at the surgery or procedure; we check the course of recovery carefully and continue the care that is needed.

1:1 Consultation (new window)
Scar care equipment including a Fraxel laser, and vials of the medications used
  1. 01An aftercare kit tailored to each operation is provided
  2. 02Scar-prevention medication and scar treatment gel are prescribed
  3. 03Where the medical team judges it necessary, a scar care programme such as Fraxel laser is run up to three times from the second week after surgery
  4. 04Where further treatment is needed, a scar treatment programme is run
