Thank you for asking about your lip reduction.Yes, the upper lip can be reduced.You need to be prepared for the swelling -The lip swells a lot after any surgery - you will not look yourself for at least a week.Surgery removes (excises) the excess, leaving a usually invisible scar just inside...

Greetings,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, Anil Shah

Lip reduction can reduce the size and volume of the lips. Most procedures for lip reduction are well tolerated in an outpatient setting.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
