Lip Enhancement or Reduction | Dr Dheeraj Bhar, Cosmetic & Aesthetic Surgeon, London

Cosmetic treatments can enhance the appearance of your lips by reshaping and resizing them. The treatment can either increase or reduce the size of your lips.

What to Expect

Different techniques can be used to reshape your lips, depending on the kind of results you want. If you want fuller or more defined lips, the doctor will need to add material into them. A dermal filler can be injected to add volume for up to about six months to a year. More permanent effects can be achieved by injecting fat or tissue taken from elsewhere in the body. The treatment can be carefully targeted to reshape and augment your lips as desired.

A lip reduction is a surgical procedure to remove a small strip of skin from one or both of your lips. The procedure can usually done with just a local anaesthetic and the incision will be hidden inside your lip, so there will be no visible scar. You should expect some swelling, bruising and tenderness after surgery, and there is a small risk of complications such as infection. The full effects should be visible in a couple of weeks, once the swelling has gone down.

Is Lip Enhancement Right for You?

Lip treatments can help if you are unhappy with the appearance of your lips. Different techniques can be used to augment or reduce the size of the lips. Treatment can also enhance the contours of the lips to create a more symmetrical or attractive shape. You might want to consider lip augmentation if you’ve noticed a loss of fullness and definition as you’ve grown older. Lip enhancement can also help if you feel your lips are asymmetrical, oddly shaped or out of proportion with the rest of your face. You can also have treatment to adjust your lips if you’re unhappy with the results of previous treatments.

Getting a cosmetic treatment for your lips could help to boost your confidence and self-esteem, but it is important to consider the options carefully. Harley Street Surgery can recommend the best treatment for you.
