Lip Reduction

Lip Reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and volume of overly large or prominent lips, restoring facial harmony and proportion. It is commonly performed on the lower lip, upper lip, or both, depending on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.

At Medixir Clinic, lip reduction is customized to the patient’s unique facial structure and preferences. The goal is to achieve natural, balanced results that enhance the overall facial appearance while maintaining full lip function and expression.

The procedure involves removing a small strip of tissue from the inside of the lip through a carefully placed incision along the inner mucosa. This allows the surgeon to reshape and reduce the volume of the lip while hiding the scar inside the mouth.

Lip reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes around 30 to 60 minutes. It can be done as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial surgeries such as chin contouring or jaw reshaping.

Recovery is usually straightforward. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur during the first few days but subside quickly. Most patients return to work or school within 3 to 5 days. Stitches are generally dissolvable or removed within a week.

The results of lip reduction are permanent and visible once the swelling goes down. Patients enjoy a more proportional, elegant look with improved lip contour and shape.

Lip reduction is suitable for individuals who feel their lips are disproportionately large, have trouble with lip closure, or seek correction for congenital or ethnic characteristics that they wish to refine.

This procedure is also effective in correcting complications from previous lip enhancement treatments that resulted in asymmetry or overfilled appearance.

At Medixir Clinic, we use digital imaging and facial analysis to plan the most suitable technique for each patient. Our surgeons focus on precision, symmetry, and discreet incisions to ensure natural and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
