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.
