Lips play a major role in defining facial balance and expression. While some people naturally have fuller lips, others feel their lips appear too large for their face, or they may have developed irregularities due to previous cosmetic procedures. Lip reduction surgery is a simple, safe and effective method to refine the lips and bring them into better proportion.
At Arna Dermatology & Aesthetics, we routinely perform lip reduction with a focus on achieving natural, harmonious results that suit each patient’s facial features.
What is Body Who Should Consider Lip Reduction Surgery?
Lip reduction isn’t only for cosmetic reasons many people choose it for comfort or functional improvement. You may be a good candidate if:
Your lips are naturally large
Some individuals have genetically fuller or protruding lips that make their facial features look uneven. Reduction helps create a more balanced appearance.
You have complications from past lip fillers
Overfilled lips, filler migration, persistent firmness, or asymmetry can lead people to seek a correction through lip reduction surgery.
Your lips look uneven
If one lip, usually the lower lip, is significantly larger, surgical refinement can restore symmetry.
Your lip size affects speech or closure
Very bulky lips sometimes interfere with clear speech or proper lip seal. A reduction can improve day-to-day comfort.
You prefer a more subtle lip shape
Some people simply feel their natural lip size does not match their personality or profession and want a softer, refined look.
How Lip Reduction Surgery Is Performed
Lip reduction is a short, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. At Arna Dermatology & Aesthetics, our doctors choose one of the following techniques depending on your lip structure and goals.
Internal Mucosal Trim Technique (Most Common)
This is the technique used for most patients seeking a moderate, natural reduction.
What happens during the procedure:
• A narrow strip of tissue is removed from the inside of the lip.
• The incision is hidden completely within the mouth.
• The lip is reshaped and closed using soft, dissolving sutures.
Why patients prefer it:
• No visible scar
• Natural contour
• Fast healing
• Minimal discomfort
Lip Debulking Technique
Some people have lips that are not just wide but thick due to excess fat or glandular tissue. In these cases, a deeper reduction is needed.
Ideal for:
• Extremely thick or heavy lips
• Patients wanting a significant size reduction
This technique reduces bulk while maintaining a natural lip border.
Wedge Excision Technique
Used for patients who have fullness only in specific areas rather than the entire lip.
Common uses:
• One-sided lip enlargement
• Post-injury deformities
• Creating a more even shape
This method targets sections of the lip while keeping the overall shape natural.
Combination Approach
For patients with multiple concerns such as uneven shape plus bulkiness two techniques may be combined to achieve the best aesthetic outcome.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery is generally quick and comfortable:
- Swelling peaks for the first 48 hours
- Most swelling settles within 3–5 days
- Stitches dissolve in 7–10 days
- You can return to normal activities within a day or two
- Soft foods and cold compresses help reduce discomfort
- Proper oral hygiene ensures smooth healing
At Arna, you receive personalized care instructions and scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing.

Faq
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all. It is done under local anesthesia, so you stay comfortable throughout. Mild soreness afterward is temporary.
Are there visible scars?
No. The incision is made on the inner side of the lip, so nothing is seen from the outside.
How long does it take?
Usually 30–45 minutes, depending on the technique used.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are long-lasting because the removed tissue does not regenerate.
When will I see the final result?
Although the change is visible immediately, the final contour appears in about 2–3 weeks after swelling subsides.
Can lip reduction fix problems caused by fillers?
Yes. Many patients seek this procedure to correct migrated or overdone fillers.
Who cannot undergo lip reduction surgery?
Patients with active mouth infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or bleeding disorders may need evaluation before surgery.
