Lip reduction is a plastic surgery procedure that enhances facial appearance by reducing the volume of the lower lip, upper lip, or both lips. In most cases, it requires only local anesthesia, can be completed in less than an hour, and produces permanent results.
During the procedure, a surgeon makes an incision in a horizontal line in the pink inner portion of your lip. This minimizes scarring.
The surgeon then removes excess fat and tissues from the lip to reduce its overall volume.
Once all the targeted tissues are removed, the surgeon will close up the incision with stitches. These usually fall off on their own within a few days or weeks.
