The Corner Lip Lift at V CLINIC Brno surgically corrects downturned or drooping mouth corners — a common sign of ageing that creates a persistently sad, stern, or tired expression — by removing small triangles of skin at each corner of the mouth.

The 30–45 minute procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with same-day discharge, with suture removal at day 9 and scar massage encouraged from week two. Often combined with a bullhorn lip lift or facelift for comprehensive lip and lower face correction.
