Lip Augmentation and Reduction

Lip Augmentation and Reduction 

What is Lip Augmentation and Reduction?

Lip augmentation is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing lip fullness. Conversely, lip reduction is a less frequent but valuable procedure designed to decrease lip volume. Whether you’re looking for fuller or smaller lips, understanding these procedures is crucial.

Lip Augmentation:

  • Lip augmentation involves procedures to make the lips fuller, often using fillers or implants.
  • It’s a popular choice for those seeking plumper lips and is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified professional.

Lip Reduction:

  • Lip reduction surgery is less common and is done to decrease lip volume, either for cosmetic reasons or to correct dissatisfaction from a previous augmentation.
  • While it involves more risks, such as infection and scarring, lip reduction is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced and board-certified provider.

Key Considerations:

  • Both procedures aim to enhance the appearance of the lips, with augmentation focusing on fullness and reduction on decreasing volume.
  • It’s crucial to choose a skilled and certified professional for either procedure to ensure safety and satisfactory results.
     

The longevity of lip augmentation varies but typically lasts several months to a year or more. Results may vary based on individual factors.

While discomfort is possible, pain is generally manageable. Local anesthesia is often used during the procedure to minimize any potential discomfort.

Yes, you can resume normal activities, but it's advisable to follow postoperative care instructions provided by your surgeon for optimal healing.

Like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, including swelling, bruising, and infection. Consulting with a qualified surgeon helps mitigate these risks.
