My Upper lip it bigger then my other side it's embarrassing for me because I'm in high school and I want to get it removed . I hate the way My Lip is . I wish it was never hereeeeeee.

Michael A. Carron, MD · Answer

There is a procedure that is used to reduce the size and improve the symmetry of the lip. It is outpatient and the downtime is not excessive. Sometimes the lower lip can be addressed as well to improve symmetry.  An exam in the office is necessary to determine how to proceed .

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Lip reduction is a very safe procedure that can be done in the office under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.  I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss the procedure and expectations.  Usually, the scar is placed just inside the lip and is not visible.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

You need a horizontal excision along the wet-dry line of the upper lip to make the amount of vermilion exposure more even and symmetric.
