Your lips play a great role in defining the appearance of your face. Though most men and women are enduring the long-lasting effect of lip enhancement through lip augmentation procedures, a part of the population is up for lip reduction procedures as well. Hence, the overall goal is to get the most desirable proportion between the lip and the rest of your face. Not all people go for lip reduction procedures but the majority who chose this procedure look for the following benefits.
Though there is no straight definition for “normal lip”, it is strictly the choice of the person who wants to get the surgery done. However, lip reduction surgeries have increased dramatically in the past few years. As per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the increase in lip reduction surgery from 2015 was 283%.
A lip reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure to reduce the size of the lips, restoring balance and harmony to the facial features. The procedure is done to either upper, lower or both the lips depending on the desired shape and size. Your surgeon will remove lip tissue in different shapes, the most common being the elliptical strip of tissue .
The ideal upper and lower lip ratio , the golden ratio is 1:1.618, brings harmony to the facial profile .Many times, people choose to have lip reduction surgery for the following reasons.
Lip reduction is an outpatient procedure and may take 30 to 60 minutes for the complete procedure. If the surgeon recommends, then the treatment can be performed on both lips in one visit.
For many, the main concern is the formation of any scar from the stitches. However, the advantage is that in a lip reduction surgery, the stitches start dissolving once the healing takes place leaving no scar or any inflammation.
Another type of lip reduction is the Brazilian technique or commonly known as Brazilian reduction which focuses on the removal of bikini top (two cups and a middle strap)from the upper lip and bikini bottom ( a triangle ) from the lower lip.
Once the surgery is completed you will be allowed to go home after 1 or 2 hours. Your surgeon will suggest some tips to reduce the swelling such as head end elevation while sleeping and to avoid bending head.
After the surgery, you will experience swelling and redness which will last for a few days. However, it is recommended to not do any strenuous physical activities for at least 2 weeks after the surgery. If you experience any pain or discomfort, your surgeon will prescribe medicines to relieve pain.
The most advantageous part of a lip reduction surgery is its long lasting effect. The results of the procedure are permanent and once the recovery from the procedure is completed the lips will never grow back to their original size.
