What is the Lip Reduction?
Lip reduction surgery offers various techniques to achieve desired aesthetics, each tailored to individual needs, ensuring results that complement your facial features. It involves the removal of excess tissue from the lips, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing shape and size. Lip reduction surgery can be performed on both the upper and lower lips to reduce their overall volume while still preserving natural elements of your lip structure, such as contour, texture, and elasticity. This type of surgery is commonly used to correct overly large or disproportionate lips that may have been caused by genetics, injury, or previous lip augmentation procedures.
The goal of lip reduction surgery is to create a more balanced appearance between the upper and lower lips. Depending on the desired results, this procedure may involve reducing only one side of the lips or both sides at once. The facial procedure is typically done under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation and takes about an hour to complete. Before beginning the procedure, you will need to discuss with your plastic surgeon what options are best for you in order to achieve your desired outcome.

Types of Lip Reduction Procedures
There are a variety of lip reduction techniques available to address the size of overly large or disproportionate lips. During your consultation appointment with an experienced plastic surgeon, they will assess your facial features, including the shape, size, and volume of your lips, in order to determine the best approach for your specific needs while still preserving natural elements such as contour, texture, and elasticity.
The most common type of lip reduction is excisional lip reduction which involves removing excess tissue from around the edges of the lips in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance without compromising any fundamental structures or surrounding muscles. This technique is designed to reduce the size of the lips while still preserving essential elements such as contour, texture, and elasticity.
Another technique commonly used by board-certified plastic surgeons is lip suspension which involves carefully suspending tissue from just above the upper lip in order to reduce its length and create a more harmonious balance between your upper and lower lips. This procedure can also be used to address asymmetry between the two sides of the mouth.
Finally, some patients may opt for laser-assisted lip reduction, which uses lasers to remove excess tissue from around the edges of their lips in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance without compromising any fundamental structures or surrounding muscles. The use of lasers allows for precise removal of targeted tissue with minimal disruption to other facial features resulting in beautiful results that harmonize well with other facial features.
No matter what type of lip reduction procedure you choose, it is important that you choose experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who understand both facial anatomy and aesthetic principles in order to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance and restore harmony between all parts of your face

Risks while having a Lip Reduction Procedure
These risks include scar tissue formation, visible scars, medical conditions that can impede healing or cause complications during the procedure, and infection.
Scarring is a common risk associated with lip reduction surgery that can result in thickened or raised scar tissue along the incision site. To reduce the risk of visible scars after surgery, it is important to choose an experienced plastic surgeon who utilizes specialized techniques for incising lip tissue in order to minimize post-surgical scarring.
Medical conditions such as diabetes or auto-immune disorders can impede healing and increase the risk of complications during a lip reduction procedure. It is important for patients to discuss any pre-existing medical conditions with their doctor prior to their surgery so that they can plan accordingly and take any necessary precautions before and after their procedure.
Infection is another potential complication from lip reduction surgery that can occur if proper care is not taken after the procedure.
