I am planning to get lip reduction surgery but afraid of the scar

Question

I am planning to get lip reduction surgery however I am scared of the scar I will face for that. When I kiss, does my partner feels the scar inside of my lips?

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

Hello,Lips can be reduced in an office setting.  It is done usually under local anesthesia and patients are made quite comfortable.  The sutures are placed on the inside portion of the lip to help conceal a scar.  Final results are between 3-6 months.  
Best,

The scar for lip reduction surgery is located just
inside the lip. This location on the lip heals extraordinarily well when closed properly. As your incision is healing, please follow the
post-operative instructions closely for maximum result and scar
minimization. .  Your partner should not feel any difference.
