It reduces the size of the lips.
Lip reduction, also called Reduction Cheiloplasty, reduces the size of the lips and helps to achieve a balanced relationship between the upper and lower lips in harmony with the facial profile. The goal is to enhance facial appearance by modifying the lips while maintaining their normal function. The surgery is done to reduce the size of large lips or to improve the asymmetry of lips.
Youthful, attractive lips- The lip complex consists of three softly curving contours, with two upper peaks, two commissures, and two lower peaks. The height of the upper lip is approximately 7 mm to 8 mm, while that of the lower lip is 10 mm to 12 mm. The volume of the lower lip is roughly 50% greater than that of the upper lip. Both the lips are slightly everted at the vermilion border with the bulk of the lower lip being slightly posterior or behind that of the upper one.
Large lips or overly large lips can cause a lot of embarrassment to men and women and can cause problems in speech and drooling also. Men and women unhappy with the fullness of their lips can get lip reduction done toalter the posture of the lips by removing some of the excess tissue that makes up their extra volume. In most cases, this surgery is performed at the patient's request when they suffer from low self-esteem and social anxiety, that a lip reduction can help to improve. This can help to normalize or restore proper oral function also.
This procedure is not only performed for cosmetic reasons. Some conditions like vascular malformation or residual haemangioma can cause excess bulged lips which can be addressed by a lip reduction procedure.
The procedure can also remove implanted material, transferred fat done for lip augmentations to restore subtle and natural-looking contoured lips.
