Lip reduction surgery - how much can be removed? (Photo)

Question

Looking to reduce both upper and lower lip. How much can be removed? I'm a white male and both upper and lower lips are very large.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Most patients seeking aesthetic surgery have certain result in mind; this is based on their own sence of aestetics, influences from fashion trands, frends, family. We always advice patient to practice in front of the mirror what is their desired lip size; based on that we plan how much excision is needed to achieve that result. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your query. Both upper and lower lips can be reduced in proportion. This can be done to the extent you desire. Please make sure that it is not overdone as some volume reduction happens with age. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!
