Candidacy & Benefits
You may be a good candidate if:
- You feel your lips are disproportionately large for your face
- You are unhappy with the results of previous lip filler treatments
- You want a permanent, surgical solution rather than dissolving filler
Key benefits
- Lips that are better proportioned to facial features
- A permanent surgical correction
- Improved comfort with speaking and eating for some patients
How Lip Reduction is performed
Assessment of lip volume and the amount of tissue to be conservatively removed
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the lips completely
A measured strip of tissue is removed from the inner surface of the lip, keeping the outer border intact
The remaining tissue is closed with fine, dissolvable sutures
Both lips are checked together for balance and natural movement
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Discuss any prior filler treatments, including when they were last done
- Avoid blood thinners and smoking ahead of the procedure
- Plan a few days of soft foods and reduced talking during initial healing
- Arrange a ride home, as some swelling is expected immediately after
Possible side effects & risks
- Swelling that can look pronounced for the first few days
- Some discomfort while eating or speaking during early healing
- Fine internal scarring that is not visible externally
- Rare risk of asymmetry or the need for a small revision
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
