Lips reduction is a
procedure performed to reduce the overall
size of the lips in people who feel that
their lips are simply too large. While it is
much more common for us to increase the size
of lips with filler products, patients
occasionally request this operation. The
best candidate is a patient whose lips are
proportionately larger than the other
structures on their face.
The operation can be done under local
anesthesia with or without sedation. It
involves incisions on the inside of the
lips, with removal of excess tissues. These
incisions are well hidden inside the mouth
so there are no scars visible. The procedure
lasts less than one hour and while the lips
are swollen for two to four days after
surgery, the result is apparent immediately
thereafter.
The information on this web site is only
intended as an introduction to this
procedure and should not be used to
determine whether you will have the
procedure performed nor as a guarantee of
the result.
The best method of determining your personal
options is to schedule a personal
consultation with Dr. Makki. He will be able
to answer specific questions related to your
situation.
