I'm a 19 year old male, I dont feel confident about the size of my big lips. What options do I have? (photo)

Question

My upper and lower lip are rather thick and big, and when I talk, they often thrust beyond the tip of my nose. I am asian, and I dont think this is a normal appearance of asian people's mouth because they usually have thin lips. Should I keep them the way they are or there are any options for me?

From your description, you might need horizontal lip reduction as well as a lip reduction for the trusting of your upper lip when you talk. I always tell my patients that they may need a little touch up 6 months later because of slight assyemmtry that could occur.

There are several options to change the appearance of the lips.  The lips can be made thinner but it
 is important for the results to still look natural and fit the rest of 
your face.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can 
assist you in achieving the results you seek.
