Lips
As we age, our lips may lose some of their fullness over time.
There are many new and exciting advances in lip augmentation
on the horizon. A MicroDroplet Fat injection and a variety of
filler materials are used to augment the lips. These are performed
as an outpatient minor surgical procedure. Means while surgical
lip reduction is also performed in younger age group to harmonise
their faces.
Lip
reduction
To reduce the thick or prominent lip, mucosal and some
part of lip's muscle are resected through lip incision
according to facial profile. Swelling lip recovers in
one week but the ultimate result usually requires 12 to
16 weeks to become fully apparent. Only flake scar appears
on the lip's mucosa.
Lip reduction is performed under local anesthesia in about
one to two hours. Both upper and lower lips can be reduced
in the same time.
Because of plenty blood supply in oral region,wound infection
is very rare to occur. Temporally numbness may be found
in first few weeks.
