What Is Lip Reduction?
Lip reduction, or reduction cheiloplasty, reduces the size of the upper lip, lower lip or both by removing tissue from inside the lips.
Benefits of Lip Reduction
- Reducing the size of the upper lip, lower lip or both.
- Adjusting lip prominence to complement the face.
- Improving the balance between the lips.
Lip Reduction Results in Dubai
Results
Results depend on the starting anatomy and healing response. Swelling and scars continue to change after the initial recovery; an early appearance is not the final result.
Your Lip Reduction Procedure in Dubai
- Procedure type: Surgery
- Surgery duration: Usually around an hour; timing depends on whether one or both lips are treated and the extent of correction.
- Anaesthesia: Usually local anaesthesia. The surgeon confirms the plan after examining the lips and reviewing your health.
- Recovery: Plan for several weeks of initial recovery, with return to work and activity guided by the surgeon. A 2–4-week recovery window does not mean all swelling has resolved: swelling may take months to settle and full results can take up to six months.
