I had a very large bottom lip and small top lip. So i figured a lip reduction would help. It did at first but only 3 years later and i regret it so much. I cant explain it but they just dont look right. I literally dont go out due to low self esteem because of them.( and other reasons but main one is the lips) I realized i was so happier with the big lip despite being made fun of. I would do anything to get it back but it seems impossible because tissue was removed?

Answer: Lip reconstruction-enlargement after lip reduction surgery
Thanks for your question. The answer really depends on what you mean by recovered. Most patients recover enough within a week to be seen in public, but the complete results can take up to 3-6 months. Hope this helps you and best of luck!
Wendy. I appreciate your concern and while physical exam and photos is optimal, it sounds like you would most likely benefit from lip reduction surgery. The procedure is done in the office, under local anesthesia, and it takes about one hour. Recovery is usually one week, as postop, the lip...
From your image provided it appears as if you have nice size and shape lips. Id be careful about further surgical modification. Before and after images may prove helpful.
