Lip Reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the lips by removing excess tissue, skin, and fat. The procedure allows the lips to achieve a more balanced and proportionate appearance in relation to the rest of the face. By addressing naturally full lips, overgrowth from previous fillers, or congenital asymmetries, the procedure can enhance overall facial harmony.

Lip Reduction is performed through precise incisions inside the mouth, which minimizes visible scarring and ensures a natural-looking outcome. The technique can be applied to the upper lip, lower lip, or both, allowing for customized shaping that can improve the definition of the Cupid’s bow and the contour of the lips. The procedure provides not only aesthetic improvements but also functional benefits. Reduced lip size can make speech and eating more comfortable, while correcting asymmetry can restore confidence in facial expressions. The long-lasting nature of the surgery provides a permanent solution for enhancing both appearance and comfort.

Lip Reduction begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this consultation, the doctor evaluates the lips, facial proportions, and overall health to determine the most suitable approach. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia may be considered if combined with other facial surgeries. The doctor makes precise incisions on the inner mucosa of the lips and carefully removes excess skin, fat, and tissue to achieve the desired size and shape. Once the adjustment is complete, the incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures, which promote proper healing and minimize visible scarring. Following the procedure, a short period of downtime is expected; initial swelling and mild bruising are common and usually peak for 1 week. A soft diet is recommended while lips heal, and normal daily activities can typically resume within 7 days. Final results gradually appear over several weeks as swelling subsides, revealing lips that are slimmer, well-defined, and more proportionate to the facial features.
