About Lip Reduction Surgery Treatment

Lower or upper lips’ skin tissues may be removed during lip reduction surgery, or sometimes both. In an effort to restructure the entire lip area, this is done. In order to make sure you don’t experience any discomfort, anaesthetic, either local or general, is given first. A horizontal incision is made by the surgeon in the pink inner part of your lip during the surgery. It lessens scarring. The surgeon next cuts away extra tissue and fat from the lip to minimise the volume of the area.
The surgeon will use stitches to seal the incision after all the targeted tissues have been removed. Within a couple of days or weeks, these typically disappear on their own.
