Lip Reduction
Lip Reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce the size, volume, or protrusion of the lips to achieve more balanced and natural facial harmony. Some individuals may feel their lips are overly large due to genetics, previous cosmetic procedures, or trauma. Lip reduction creates a proportionate, refined shape while maintaining the natural contour and expression of the lips.
At our centre, Dr. B. R. N. Padmini performs lip reduction with meticulous precision, ensuring aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical results. The procedure involves removing a small strip of tissue from the inner side of the upper or lower lip, depending on the patient’s concern. This internal incision technique ensures that scars remain hidden inside the mouth and are not visible externally.
During consultation, Dr. Padmini evaluates lip shape, facial proportions, and the patient’s expectations to create a customized surgical plan. The treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it a safe and comfortable experience. It usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and patients can return home the same day.
Recovery from lip reduction is generally quick. Swelling is normal during the first few days and gradually subsides. Most patients resume routine activities within 2–3 days. As the incision is internal, healing is smooth and discreet, with no external marks. Final results become more visible as the swelling reduces, revealing a beautifully shaped and proportionate lip contour.
Lip reduction is ideal for those seeking a more balanced appearance and improved facial aesthetics. With Dr. B. R. N. Padmini’s refined technique and personalized care, patients can expect natural, flattering results that enhance both beauty and confidence.
