Lip Reduction
Reshaping overly full or disproportionate lips to a balanced, proportionate size — a precise, permanent surgical refinement with a hidden scar.
Lip Reduction
What it is
Lip reduction removes a strip of tissue from the inner lip to reduce excessive fullness and improve proportion with the rest of the face. The incision is hidden inside the mouth, leaving no visible scar.
Who it's for
- Naturally large or disproportionate lips
- Asymmetry between the upper and lower lip
- Patients wanting permanent reduction rather than reversal of filler
- Those seeking better facial balance
The procedure
A short procedure under local anaesthesia, taking 30–45 minutes. A precise strip of inner-lip tissue is removed and closed with dissolvable sutures inside the mouth.
Recovery & aftercare
Swelling for several days; a soft diet briefly. Sutures dissolve on their own. Most return to work within days.
Frequently asked
Will there be a visible scar?+
No — the incision is entirely inside the mouth, so there is no external scar.
Is the result permanent?+
Yes, lip reduction is a permanent surgical change, unlike reversible filler.
Can both lips be treated?+
Yes, the upper, lower or both can be reduced and balanced in the same procedure.
