Is There a Way to Make my Lips Less Wide? not to make them less full but smaller in length. thank you.

A: Can my lips be made less wide?

This situation requies a highly individualized approach by an experienced surgeon with excellent aesthetic vision and technical skills. A photo and/or personal exam critically important to evaluate. Either ens of lips can be symmetrically turned inward, or nasal base can be widened to create the illusion of shorter oral aperture. Ancillary filler may also be necessary. This is unconventional, but can be considered if it really presents a problem for you.

Do I Need a Lip Reduction or Augmentation? (photo) OK so I've kind of accepted that I'll have big lips for the rest of my life. It's something I was teased about growing up and I guess that's where my insecurities on the issue began. I don't really want a lip "reduction" I just want my bottom lip to not hang so much; it's nearly touching my chin. Im too afraid to drastically change the size of my lips b/c of the unexpected outcome, so I've settled for this slight change. Would this procedure be considered a lip reduction or augmentation. thanks

A: Lip reduction You may benefit from a lip reduction procedure. A small strip of tissue removed from just inside the upper and lower lip will modestly reduce the lip size . You will still have attractive full lips, just not as pronounced. There will be a scar but it usually is not visible . Also there may be some temporary numbness or sensitivity. Have a consultation with a surgeon who has experience with this procedure to see if this would be an option for you

A: Do I need a lip reduction?

It's hard not to become emotional when I see such a gorgeous woman who wants to change one of the features contributing to her unique beauty. PLEASE don't change your very alluring lips. Yes, they are large compared to most other women; Perhaps those other women have lips that are too small. There's nothing wrong with different, and in your case, I believe it works for you. Consider yourself "well endowed." ENJOY!
