What is lip reduction?
Lip reduction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to reduce the size of one or both lips. The procedure involves the removal of excess tissue or fat from the lips to create a more proportionate and balanced facial appearance.
Lip reduction can be beneficial for individuals who feel that their lips are too large or disproportionate to the rest of their facial features. It can also be performed for medical reasons, such as correcting congenital defects or injuries that have resulted in asymmetrical or distorted lips.
What does the lip reduction procedure involve?
Lip reduction is a surgical procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Both the upper and lower lip can be reduced in size. A cut is made on the inner aspect of the lip and excess tissue is removed. The cut is made in such a way that it is not visible on the face. A simple procedure like this can help to balance out the facial features.
