Should I do lip reduction to fix my protruding lip? (Photos)

Question

I want to do lip reduction on my bottom lip but I’m afraid that my bottom lip will become too small comparing to my upper lip.

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

I appreciate your concern and while physical exam is optimal, your photos demonstrate that 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 lips are quite swollen. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience with lip surgery, good luck!
