What is a Lip Reduction?

A lip reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that decreases the size of overly large and protruding lips to create a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. This surgery removes excess lip tissue, which can enhance the face’s overall balance and improve the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Depending on the individual’s specific desires, the procedure can be customized to treat the upper, lower, or both lips. Dr. Greco employs advanced surgical techniques to ensure that the results appear natural, with minimal scarring and quick recovery. By focusing on achieving a proportionate lip size, lip reduction enhances facial aesthetics and alleviates discomfort associated with overly large lips.

What Are the Benefits of a Lip Reduction?

Lip reduction offers several aesthetic benefits. First and foremost, it enhances facial harmony by creating a more balanced lip-to-face ratio, which can improve overall  attractiveness. Many patients find that a more proportionate lip size boosts their confidence and self-esteem, allowing them to feel more comfortable in social situations.

A lip reduction can also alleviate any discomfort caused by excessively full lips, such as difficulty with eating, speaking, or maintaining lip makeup. The procedure can also enhance the definition of the lips, making them look more refined and well-contoured. With Dr. Greco’s skilled techniques, patients can expect natural-looking results that enhance their unique features while prioritizing safety and satisfaction.

Following Dr. Greco’s post-operative care instructions, including avoiding vigorous activities and sticking to soft foods for the first week, is essential. Most patients can return to normal activities, for the majority of two weeks. As swelling decreases, you’ll begin to see the refined lip contour, with follow-up appointments ensuring a smooth recovery process.
