Is 18 Too Young to Get a Lip Reduction?

As mentioned earlier, I have lots of women who seek larger lips with restylane and other fillers.

Leave your lips alone for now and you will appreciate it later on.

Good luck.

Although your facial profile will change over the next few years, it is good that you are taking the first step by learning about the process. Lip reduction is a safe procedure that can be performed for cosmetic reasons to reduce volume and size of the upper and lower lips. An excellent procedure. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Hi Reee,

Keep your lips, don't have a surgical reduction at any age.  Be well.

Your lips look beautiful--leave them alone. I have thousands of women who would die to have lips like yours. You'll be glad you never messed with them. Also, the reason people stare at your lips is they wish they had lips like that!

Lip reduction can be performed on someone your age.  Having full lips, however, is pleasing to most women.  As we age our lips do gradually thin.  You might want to discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon to see what would be best for you.  Your best action might be to leave your full lips alone for now. If you do choose a reduction, please be conservative.
