What Is Lip Reduction?

Lip reduction surgery, also known as cheiloplasty, is a procedure aimed at reducing excess volume in the lips and restoring facial balance and harmony. It addresses issues such as uneven lip lines and abnormalities that cause the lips to overpower other facial features. This corrective surgery is often sought by individuals who have had permanent substances like silicone injected into their lips, resulting in unnatural, lumpy, or exaggerated lips. Lip reduction surgery helps improve the shape, size, and contour of the lips in such cases. At the Glasgold Group, our surgeons have extensive experience performing lip reduction surgeries in Princeton, New Jersey, with a focus on delivering natural-looking outcomes that enhance your smile.

Best Candidates for Lip Reduction

At the Glasgold Group, our surgeons recommend lip reduction surgery in New Jersey for individuals with disproportionately large or protruding lips. Candidates also include those with naturally thick or congenitally deformed lips, as well as individuals whose lips have been injured or those who are dissatisfied with the results of previous lip augmentation surgery.

Individuals seek lip reduction surgery not only for cosmetic reasons but also for functional improvement. This procedure can help address cases where unusually large lips, whether naturally large or due to injections, interfere with daily activities such as eating or pronouncing certain words.

When you visit our New Jersey facial plastic surgery practice, Dr. Glasgold will meet with you personally to understand your goals and discuss the best approach for achieving them. While all surgeries carry some risks, most patients find that the benefits of lip reduction surgery far exceed any potential risks.

The Lip Reduction Procedure

Lip reduction surgery typically lasts one to two hours and can be performed on both lips or just the one causing the imbalance, often the lower lip. Incisions are made inside the lips to minimize scarring. These incisions are carefully placed to reduce lip volume and create an aesthetically pleasing lip line. Excess tissue and fat, which may contain previously injected substances like silicone, are removed. The incisions are then closed with small sutures.

Recovering From Lip Reduction

Following the procedure, patients can return home to rest. You will receive detailed instructions on post-operative care, including managing incisions, pain relief, and dietary guidelines. Swelling, which can be alleviated with ice packs and medication, typically subsides within a few days to weeks. Patients are advised to sleep with their head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Detailed recovery instructions are provided, and patients are encouraged to contact our New Jersey office with any questions or concerns.
