What is Lip reduction and why people are opting for this procedure?
Your lips play an important role in the overall attractiveness of your face. Some people may feel self-conscious or unhappy with the size or shape of their lips. Lips that are excessively large or can draw unwanted attention and affect overall facial harmony. Lip reduction can help create a more balanced and proportionate appearance. Lip reduction, also known as cheiloplasty or lip reduction surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to reduce the size or volume of the lips. It involves reshaping the lips to achieve a more proportionate and balanced appearance with the rest of the facial features. Some people are okay with the appearance of their large lips but excessively large or bulky lips can interfere with speech, eating, or oral hygiene. The size and shape of the lips may make it challenging to pronounce certain sounds correctly or maintain proper oral hygiene practices. Lip reduction can improve these functional aspects as well.
What is the procedure of the surgery at the Mokosh clinic?
The procedure for lip reduction surgery can vary depending on the specific techniques used by our surgeon and the patient’s individual needs. However, here is a general overview of what you can expect during lip reduction surgery:
- Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation with our qualified plastic surgeon Dr. M S Siddiqui. During this consultation, you will discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations regarding the lip reduction procedure. Dr. Siddiqui will evaluate your lip anatomy, overall facial features, and medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the surgery.
- Anesthesia: Lip reduction surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and your comfort level. Our medical counselors will discuss the anesthesia options with you before your surgery.
- Incisions: Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Siddiqui will make carefully planned incisions in the appropriate areas of the lips. The location and pattern of incisions can vary depending on the desired outcome and our surgeon’s technique. Incisions are typically made along the inner or outer edges of the lips.
- Tissue removal: Excess tissue, including fat, skin, and sometimes muscle, is then carefully removed from the lips through incisions. The surgeon will work to reshape and sculpt the lips to achieve the desired reduction in size and volume.
- Suturing: After the excess tissue has been removed, the surgeon will meticulously close the incisions using fine sutures. The sutures may dissolve on their own over time or require removal during a follow-up visit.
