Lip Reduction
Your lips play a key role in your overall facial harmony and expression. When the lips are disproportionately large or uneven, they can affect the natural balance of your face and your confidence. Lip Reduction Surgery is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and resize the lips, giving them a proportionate, natural, and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Dr. Zameer, a highly qualified plastic and cosmetic surgeon in Lahore, specializes in lip reshaping and reduction procedures. With years of experience and a focus on natural-looking results, he tailors each surgery to enhance facial balance and meet the patient’s desired look.
What Is Lip Reduction Surgery?
Lip Reduction Surgery is a minor outpatient procedure performed to reduce the volume of the upper lip, lower lip, or both. The goal is to bring the lips into harmony with the rest of the face while maintaining a soft, natural contour.
This surgery is ideal for:
-
Individuals with naturally large or thick lips
-
Patients seeking correction after previous lip enhancement procedures
-
Those who want to achieve more symmetrical or proportionate lips
Disclaimer: Results may vary depending on the individual.
Lip Reduction Procedure
At Dr. Zameer’s Aims Aesthetic & Medical Centre, lip reduction surgery is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the process.
Step-by-step procedure:
-
The lips are numbed using a local anesthetic containing xylocaine and adrenaline.
-
After a short waiting period (5–7 minutes), a precise incision is made along the junction of the wet and dry mucosa inside the lip.
-
A small elliptical section of excess tissue is carefully removed to reduce the volume.
-
The incision is closed using absorbable sutures, so there is no need for stitch removal later.
-
A light dressing is applied, and patients are typically discharged within 30 minutes.
The entire procedure usually takes about one hour, depending on the patient’s individual lip structure and desired outcome.
Techniques of Lip Reduction Surgery
At our clinic, Dr. Zameer primarily uses the Bikini Lip Reduction Technique, also known as the Brazilian Lip Reduction. This technique delivers refined, natural, and long-lasting results.
-
In this method, an elliptical segment of tissue is removed from the upper lip (bikini top) and a triangular segment from the lower lip (bikini bottom).
-
This technique helps decrease overall lip volume, restore the natural curvature (M, M′, and W shape) of the lips, and maintain ideal balance between the upper and lower lips.
The result is a beautifully contoured lip line with minimal bleeding and downtime.
Postoperative Care and Recovery
-
Mild swelling, bruising, or numbness can occur after the procedure.
-
Swelling typically subsides within one to two weeks.
-
Most patients resume normal activities the next day.
-
Full results are visible after one month and continue to improve for up to one year as the tissues heal and settle.
Disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person depending on healing and tissue characteristics.
Possible Complications
Lip Reduction Surgery is generally safe and has minimal risk when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Zameer. However, as with any surgical procedure, minor complications may occur, including:
-
Temporary swelling or bruising
-
Mild bleeding or discomfort
-
Rarely, asymmetry or uneven healing (easily corrected if necessary)
These effects are usually temporary and can be managed with prescribed medications and proper aftercare.
Results of Lip Reduction Surgery
Patients notice an immediate improvement in lip shape and size after surgery. The final, refined results become more noticeable within a few weeks as swelling decreases. Over time, the lips settle into their new contour, appearing natural, proportionate, and beautifully balanced.
