Lip Reduction

Lips can appear large and disproportionate in size with the rest of the facial features. They may be too large because of a familial trait or may have become overly large and deformed because of previous long-term filler injection.

A lip reduction is a simple procedure which can be performed under local anesthesia to reshape the lips and make them smaller in size, balancing with the other facial features. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to perform, and the patient returns home the same day.

The lips are re-shaped to a more natural appearance which is often with the prior injection of long-term filler. Dissolvable sutures are used and remain in place for about one week. After a few days of swelling, patients can see the results on average in about one to two weeks.

Benefits of a Lip Reduction:

Remove excess tissue that causes your lips to become misbalanced.
Remove any substance that might have caused the disbalance.
Quick procedure.
No visible scarring as the sutures are on the inside of the lips
