Who's lip reduction surgery for?
Lip reduction surgery surgery is for women and men whose lips are of a size that causes them to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Lips that droop or turn outwards can also lead to a lack of confidence and cause anxiety.
Lip reduction surgery will provide a permanent, natural looking result and last the rest of your life.
What does lip reduction involve?
SurgiCare's goal is to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. Lip reduction surgerycan be performed under local and/or general anaesthetic. The procedure takes about one hour and takes about two weeks to heal.
What should I know about lip reduction surgery?
Before you decide to go ahead with lip reduction surgery, SurgiCare will offer you a thorough one-to-one medical consultation with a surgeon who specialises in lip reduction procedures. During the consultation, you will be asked to point out exactly what you would like to see improved. This will help your surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they can realistically be achieved.
It is important that you have a clear idea of how you would like to look and, at the same time, realise there are limitations to the results which can be achieved from the lip reduction procedure.
How is lip reduction performed?
Lip reduction is performed bymaking an incision in the length of your lip inside your mouth and thenremoving a strip of skin from one or both lips, depending upon the look you want to achieve. Your Surgeonwill aim to enhance the mouth and lips area to complement your facial features, giving you a softened, natural mouth.
Are there any risks with lip reduction?
Fortunately, significant complications from lip reductionsurgeryare infrequent. Every year, many people undergo successful lip reduction surgery, experience no problems and are delighted with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and the risks. Your surgeon will discuss these with you during your consultation.
What happens after lip reduction surgery?
Take it easy and sleep on two pillows to keep your head elevated for around 7-14 days – or however long your surgeon suggests. Remember that swelling and bruising is perfectly normal after surgery, but this will clear up after a few weeks. You should expect to see the final results from the lip reduction surgery in about three months. Because of the swelling your lips may look larger after the procedure than before, but they will settle in time.
When can I resume my normal activities?
Give yourself a week before getting back to your normal routine. And do not participate in contact sports for at least 6-8 weeks.
Can I expect aftercare?
