Introduction

M-shaped lip surgery generally includes three types: M-shaped lip shaping, lip thinning for thick lips, and upturned mouth corners. The corresponding prices are as follows: M-shaped lip shaping, 3,000–8,000 yuan per session; lip thinning for thick lips, 3,000–7,000 yuan per session; upturned mouth corners, 4,000–10,000 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of M-shaped lip surgery include baseline lip condition, filling materials used, and the surgeon's experience.

M-shaped lip surgery is generally divided into three procedures: M-lip shaping, thinning of thick lips, and upward-turning corners of the mouth. The corresponding prices are as follows: M-lip shaping, 3,000–8,000 RMB per session; thinning of thick lips, 3,000–7,000 RMB per session; upward-turning corners of the mouth, 4,000–10,000 RMB per session. Factors influencing the cost of M-lip surgery include baseline lip condition, filling materials used, and surgeon experience.

Different types of M-lip surgeries and their price references:

Comparison Item / Procedure	M-Lip Shaping	Thinning of Thick Lips	Upward-Turning Corners of the Mouth
Reference Price	3,000–8,000 RMB/session	3,000–7,000 RMB/session	4,000–10,000 RMB/session
Principle of Procedure	Surgically adjusts lip tissue to create an M-shaped lip contour	Based on the patient's lip thickness and desired outcome, appropriate incisions are designed to remove part of the red lip tissue	Mainly includes external and internal incision methods. The corner of the mouth is surgically lifted and fixed in an elevated position by adjusting the direction and tension of the muscles at the mouth corner. Alternatively, an incision is made in the oral mucosa to lift the corner muscles upward, creating an upturned appearance
Target Candidates	Suitable for individuals with poorly defined lip shape, such as flat Cupid’s bow or indistinct tubercle	Suitable for individuals with overly thick lips that affect overall facial aesthetics	Suitable for individuals with downturned mouth corners who appear stern or sad
Recovery Period	1–3 months	2–3 months	1–3 months
Duration of Results	Long-term	Long-term	Long-term
Potential Risks	1. Risk of infection 2. Bleeding and hematoma	1. Reduced lip sensation 2. Lip deformity	1. Asymmetry or unnatural appearance of mouth corners 2. Scar formation

Analysis of Influencing Factors:

1. Baseline Lip Condition: If the natural lip structure is already favorable and only minor adjustments are needed to achieve the M-lip shape, the surgical complexity is lower, resulting in a relatively lower cost.

2. Filling Materials: If fillers are used during M-lip surgery, the amount required increases if the patient desires a fuller lip appearance, thereby increasing the total cost of the procedure.

3. Surgeon Experience: Surgeons with extensive experience and technical expertise, backed by substantial clinical practice, can perform procedures more precisely and effectively reduce surgical risks, which typically results in higher fees.

Before undergoing M-lip surgery, patients should have thorough consultations with their surgeon to select the most suitable procedure based on individual lip conditions and financial considerations. After surgery, keep the wound dry and avoid contact with water, pressure, or wide smiling to minimize risks such as infection, unsatisfactory lip shape, and hypertrophic scarring.
