I see a lot of before and after on a lot of doctors website. But none of them note the time frame (1 week after? 1 month after?). How long does it take until the patient is able to go back to work and look presentable? And how long until a reduction is seen?

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.
Thanks for your query .As you desire it is possible to both reduce and contour your lips while maintaining an ideal ratio in an aesthetically pleasing way.Done as an office procedure .Do seek an experienced plastic surgeon discuss in detail and then plan your procedure .
