Overly large lips can leave your face looking unbalanced. A lip reduction decreases the size of the lips and reshapes excessively large lips to create a more attractive and proportionate appearance. Many lip reduction candidates have oversized lips that interfere with their speech, causing embarrassment and self-consciousness.
Newport Beach surgeon Dr. Savalia uses lip reduction surgery to reduce the size of both the upper and lower lip. The procedure takes one to two hours and results are permanent.
What is the recovery period like for a lip reduction procedure?
After a lip reduction, recovery from swelling and numbness will usually take about a week. Initial swelling will interfere with chewing and speech, but will quickly improve.
Many patients return to work around 3-7 days after surgery. Participation in contact sports should usually be postponed for about 6-8 weeks.
