Lip Reduction is a cosmetic surgery that aims to enhance facial appeal and overall appearance. It intends to achieve a better balance or ratio between the upper and lower lips while providing ease in their usual function. We perform upper lip reduction and lower lip reduction based on the requirement.
Lip reduction adjusts the posture or shape of the lips by removing the excess tissue that contributes to its volume. Tissues are removed to provide an enhanced appearance. It can give confidence and boost your morale by getting you the good looking lips.
Also, this procedure is performed for medical reasons such as poor speech, drooling, and other similar challenges.
Lip Reduction surgery entails removing the mucosa & submucosa tissues on either one or both upper and lower lips as per your requirement. On-consultation, you can discuss your requirements in detail with your surgeon. The surgery is done under local anesthesia. Then, an incision is made on the inner portion of your lip to minimize the scarring effect post-recovery. The tissues are removed meticulously and the incision is stitched with absorbable stitches which falls within 2-3 weeks.
