LIP REDUCTION

To reduce the look of extremely large lips, patients opt
for the Lip Reduction procedure. While some surgeons choose
to perform Lip Reduction surgery under Light Sleep anesthesia, this process can also be done under local and or regional anesthesia. This procedure averages 15 to 30 minutes long and a patient can take about 2 weeks to heal. Please know ahead of time that swelling can be an issue. Asymmetry is also likely so it is important to sensibly pick your surgeon. Lip Reduction complications can and do happen, even though this is a rather simple process.

Fuller lips may be something that all of us want. Numerous people think that their lips are too full and want them minimized. A lot of younger patients are sometimes teased by their peers and become often overwhelmed by their lack of confidence. Due to the maturing of the facial features, a patient should wait until their mid to late teens to have Lip Reduction.

You may want to think about having the Lip Reduction procedure if you discover that your lips are too big and interfere in speaking or don't like them overall. The procedure is not invasive, but will cause soreness and puffiness, so you will need to take a break for an appropriate result.
