From childhood, I had a habit of sucking my lip, and only recently I stopped doing it. And over time, the lips from this became much larger. If I inject the Kenalog, will it help me to reduce and back the size of my lips? Thanks!

Answer: Would Kenalog injections reduce the size of my lips which have enlarged due to sucking them? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately Kenalog injections are unlikely to help, and may hurt, your lip appearance. Steroid injections have a number of risks to them and should only be done by specialists. That said if your lips enlarged from sucking on them they should regress spontaneously if you stop that habit. If after several months of avoidance any desired decrease in size would have to come as a result of a reduction procedure. Hope this helps.

Answer: Lip Reduction ammanueel. Photos or physical exam would be helpful, but doubtful kenalog injections would work. If your lips are truly excessively large, then lip reduction surgery is your best option. The procedure is done in the office, under local anesthesia, and it takes about one hour. Recovery is usually one week, as postop, the lips are quite swollen. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
