What is Lip Reduction Surgery?

Lip reduction surgery, medically termed reduction cheiloplasty, is an outpatient cosmetic surgery designed to reduce lip size and make it in proportion with facial features. It is a permanent solution for lips that are large due to genetic reasons, infection, inflammatory infiltration, birth defects, injury/trauma, generalized thickening of the lip tissues, dentofacial deformities, or incorrect lip augmentation. The surgery can be done to reduce fullness in both lips or either the upper or lower lips, whichever looks bigger.

How is Lip Reduction Surgery Performed?

Lip cosmetic surgery is a 45 to 90 minutes long operation, performed under the effect of local anesthesia. The anesthesia is provided at least 30-45 minutes before commencing the surgery so that it takes effect and the procedure is ensured to be painless.

During the operation, a small inconspicuous incision is made in the pink inner area of the lip. Through the incision, the surplus lip fat and tissue is removed. Lastly, the incision is closed using tiny, permanent stitches. After 5 days, non-dissolvable sutures are removed. However, for most patients, absorbable sutures are used for closing the incisions.
