DC BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING LIP REDUCTION: ACHIEVING FACIAL HARMONY

When facial features lack proportionality, individuals may seek
cosmetic refinement to restore symmetry. Lip reduction offers a
precise solution for those with disproportionately large lips, helping
patients achieve a more balanced aesthetic profile.

WHAT IS LIP REDUCTION SURGERY?

Lip reduction, or reduction cheiloplasty, is a surgical procedure
designed to reshape and resize lips to complement overall facial
features. The technique involves carefully removing excess lip tissue
to create natural, proportionate contours.

KEY BENEFITS OF LIP REDUCTION

 	* Restores optimal lip proportions
	* Improves facial symmetry
	* Addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns
	* Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
	* Performed under local anesthesia

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR LIP REDUCTION

Suitable candidates for lip reduction typically include individuals
with:

 	* Naturally oversized lips
	* Previous augmentation complications
	* Functional lip-related challenges
	* Good overall health
	* Realistic aesthetic expectations

LIP REDUCTION PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Christopher Chang performs lip reduction surgery with meticulous
precision. The procedure involves strategic tissue removal through
carefully placed incisions, ensuring minimal scarring and
natural-looking results.

PROCEDURE STEPS

 	* Comprehensive initial consultation
	* Personalized treatment planning
	* Local anesthesia administration
	* Precise tissue sculpting
	* Careful suturing

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Lip reduction recovery is typically straightforward. Patients can
expect mild swelling and discomfort for 3-4 days, with complete
healing occurring within 1-3 weeks. Most individuals return to normal
activities quickly.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* Follow post-operative instructions carefully
	* Manage initial swelling with prescribed medications
	* Maintain proper lip hygiene
	* Attend follow-up appointments

LIP LIFT CHEVY CHASE, MD | CHRISTOPHER C. CHANG MD | WASHINGTON DC
BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING THE LIP LIFT PROCEDURE

As individuals age, lips naturally lose volume and shape, causing
aesthetic concerns about facial appearance. A lip lift is a
sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore lip proportions,
enhance facial symmetry, and rejuvenate one's overall facial
aesthetic.

WHAT IS A LIP LIFT?

A lip lift is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that
permanently transforms the shape and appearance of the upper or lower
lips. By making precise incisions, surgeons can trim excess skin
tissues, minimize sagging, and create more defined lip contours.

BENEFITS OF A LIP LIFT

 	* Achieve fuller, more defined lips
	* Lift mouth corners to prevent constant frowning
	* Improve overall lip shape and proportion
	* Reveal more teeth while smiling
	* Reduce upper lip lines
	* Provide permanent aesthetic enhancement
	* Minimize visible surgical marks

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR LIP LIFT

Lip lift procedures are particularly suitable for individuals
experiencing age-related lip volume loss or those seeking a permanent
alternative to temporary lip fillers. Candidates should be in good
overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic aesthetic
expectations.

LIP LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Christopher Chang performs lip lift procedures under local
anesthesia in his Chevy Chase, MD office. The surgical approach
involves carefully removing a small piece of skin, typically beneath
the nose, to reshape and elevate the lips while maintaining natural
facial proportions.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Post-procedure, patients may experience temporary swelling and
tightness. Complete recovery typically occurs within four weeks. Dr.
Chang provides comprehensive post-surgical guidelines to ensure
optimal healing and minimal complications.

 	* Thin lips
	* Aging lip tissue

THE LIP AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE IN CHEVY CHASE

The lip enhancement procedure typically takes approximately 30
minutes. Dr. Chang carefully evaluates individual lip structure and
patient goals to create personalized, natural-looking results.
