Large procheilon tubercle on lip, options for reduction? (Photo)

May 14, 2023
Asked By:perdito23 in Fairfax, Virginia

The middle part of my top lip is quite pronounced, since I was a baby. I would like to reduce the size. I am fine with the size of my top lip but I don't like the size of the procheilion/tubercle. Do I have to get a lip reduction? Are there other options that are less invasive? What kind of surgeon would should I follow up with?

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

Your lip is not the problem, but rather you small jaw. I would suggest meeting with an oral surgeon, being examined and X-rayed, and discussing your options. Just based on your photos, moving the jaw forward will should you that your upper lip is just fine.
