Lip reduction

The large size of the lips and their disproportion to the size of the face may be a problem that some suffer from, which makes them resort to the process of lip reduction to solve this problem, which may cause embarrassment and lack of self-confidence.

What is the process of lip reduction?

Lip reduction is a surgical procedure in which a plastic surgeon reduces the size of one or both lips by removing a certain amount of tissue from the lip area.

How is the lip reduction procedure performed?

The plastic surgeon makes an incision from inside the mouth along the lip to be reduced, and often the place of the incision is at the line where the wet area of ​​the lips meets the dry area of ​​the lips. On the wet side of the incision area, the surgeon will then close the incision with surgical sutures.

What type of anesthesia is used in lip reduction surgery?

The patient is placed either under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, and this is decided by the plastic surgeon after reviewing the patient’s condition.

How long does lip reduction surgery take?

Usually, the lip reduction procedure takes 15-30 minutes.
