What Is Lip Reduction?
Lip Reduction is a minor surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and volume of the upper lip, lower lip, or both. The procedure involves removing excess skin and soft tissue to create slimmer, more proportionate lips that better balance the overall facial features. In addition to aesthetic enhancement, Lip Reduction can correct abnormal fullness or asymmetry, including cases caused by overfilled or poorly injected dermal fillers.
A specialized technique known as Bikini Lip Reduction involves excising tissue in a “bikini” shape – two curved sections and a central strip on the upper lip, and a triangular section on the lower lip. This method not only reduces lip volume but also enhances lip contour, accentuates the Cupid’s bow, and improves the central tubercle for a more refined and attractive appearance.
How It Works
Lip Reduction works by surgically removing a carefully measured portion of excess lip tissue from the inner side of the lip. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 1 to 2 hours. Once the excess tissue is removed, the incision is closed with absorbable sutures that dissolve naturally, eliminating the need for sutures removal. The incision is made on the inner surface of the lips, making scars invisible when the mouth is closed. Recovery is typically short, and results are permanent.
