Lip Reduction Surgery UK

Whilst many people these days seek treatment to enhance the size and volume of the lips, it is not everyone’s preference and there are those who are discontent with having larger lips and would be happier with them being smaller and more proportionate.

Sometimes, the lips can be disproportionate to each other, and It is not always concerns about both lips that may leave you feeling the need for lip reduction surgery. This can be performed on either the top or the bottom lip independently, in order to even out the size or proportions of the lips, creating a more balanced appearance to this facial feature.

The operation itself will require an incision on the inside of the lip. Excess tissue will be removed through this incision, along with any potential excess skin, before the closing of the wound.

The operation can be performed under either Local or General anaesthetic and can be treated as a day case, but it may be advisable for the patient to arrange for someone to take them home after they have been discharged.

A period of up to 2 – 3 weeks may see swollen and bruised lips, with tenderness and some possible temporary numbness, seeing time off work being required during this period. After this time, the effects should fade and begin to settle down. The patient will need to take careful consideration regarding aftercare advice and Mr. Marando will support your recovery and healing through the necessary follow-up consultations and assessments, with full results developing within 6 months.
