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

with:

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

carefully placed incisions, ensuring minimal scarring and
natural-looking results.

healing occurring within 1-3 weeks. Most individuals return to normal
activities quickly.
