Lip Reduction Surgery

What is it?
Lip reduction surgery is a procedure to decrease the size of overly large or protruding lips, creating a more balanced facial appearance.

About Lip Reduction Surgery

Lip reduction surgery is ideal for individuals who feel their lips are disproportionately large for their facial features or who have uneven lips due to genetics or a previous cosmetic procedure. The goal of lip reduction is to reshape and resize the lips to fit more harmoniously with the rest of the face. This procedure can be performed on the upper lip, lower lip, or both, depending on the patient’s needs. It is a straightforward procedure, and recovery is relatively quick, resulting in more proportional, natural-looking lips.

How it Works

The surgeon evaluates the lip size and symmetry and discusses desired outcomes with the patient.
Local anesthesia is applied, and incisions are made inside the lips to remove excess tissue and fat. The lips are then reshaped to achieve a more balanced size.
Swelling and bruising are common for 1-2 weeks. Final results are visible after a few weeks as the swelling subsides.
Patients achieve smaller, more proportionate lips that complement their facial features.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals with naturally large or asymmetrical lips.
  • People who feel self-conscious about their lip size or facial balance.
  • Non-smokers in good general health with realistic expectations.
  • Patients seeking a permanent solution to reduce lip size.
  • Those with previously augmented lips looking to reverse or modify the results.
  • Individuals who want more proportionate lips without the use of fillers or other non-surgical options.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation.
