Lip Reduction Surgery

Lip Reduction Surgery is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of overly full or disproportionate lips. This procedure helps create a more balanced facial appearance by removing excess tissue and reshaping the lips to achieve a more proportionate size and contour.

While many people seek treatments to enhance lip volume, some individuals are born with naturally full lips that they feel are too prominent or out of proportion with their other facial features. Others may have experienced unsatisfactory results from lip augmentation procedures and wish to reverse these effects.

At Neoderma Clinica, our expert surgeons perform lip reduction with meticulous precision, carefully removing excess tissue while preserving the natural contour and expression of your lips. The procedure is customized to each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring harmonious, natural-looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lip reduction surgery typically involves incisions made on the inside of the lips, which means there are no visible external scars. Our surgeons use meticulous techniques to ensure that any internal scarring is minimal and does not affect the appearance or function of your lips. As the incisions heal, they become virtually undetectable, allowing you to enjoy your new lip contour without concerns about visible scarring.

Lip reduction surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. After surgery, you can expect some discomfort, swelling, and tenderness for several days. Most patients describe the post-operative sensation as mild to moderate and easily managed with prescribed pain medication. The lips have many nerve endings, which can make them sensitive during recovery, but most patients find that any significant discomfort subsides within the first week. Our team provides detailed post-operative care instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote optimal healing.

The results of lip reduction surgery are permanent. Once excess tissue is removed, it will not grow back. However, it's important to note that natural aging processes will continue, which may affect the appearance of your lips over time. Factors such as significant weight changes, hormonal fluctuations, or certain medical conditions could potentially influence lip volume in the future. The vast majority of patients enjoy their results for many years without needing additional procedures. During your consultation, our surgeons will discuss realistic expectations and help you understand how your results may evolve over time.

Lip reduction surgery, when performed by our experienced surgeons, should not permanently affect your ability to speak or eat. During the initial recovery period (1-2 weeks), you may experience some temporary stiffness, swelling, or numbness that could slightly affect speech articulation or make eating certain foods challenging. We recommend a soft diet during this time to minimize discomfort and avoid putting stress on the healing incisions. Once healing is complete, patients typically return to normal speech patterns and eating habits without any limitations. Our surgical approach carefully preserves the functional aspects of your lips while improving their aesthetic appearance.
