Get Perfect Celebrity-like Lips With Lip Reduction Surgery In Mumbai, India

It's a fact of life that not everyone is blessed with that ideal set of full lips. Most of us fall into one of the common lip shape categories, which we will cover along with their perceived shortcomings. But we can console ourselves with the thought that the beautiful lips that we conjure up in our minds are within our grasp, thanks to a plethora of lip augmentation procedures.

The commonest way to enlarge lips is by using a Filler. This is discussed under the section Lip Augmentation.

Large lips are a common complaint in many Indian and African men. This can be corrected by a simple surgery known as lip reduction. A lip reduction is a surgical procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia or with sedation. The key to lip reduction is to provide the correct amount of reduction with no visible scar and creating a natural result. A segment of the lip is removed from the inside of the lip so there is no visible scar.

The process of Lip reduction involves- making an incision along the entire length of your lip, usually at a place called the wet line—where the dry part of your lip meets the wet part. The incisions are placed within the lip so that the scars are not visible.

Next, we will remove a wedge of skin and tissue from the wet side along the length of the incision. The final step is closing the open wedge with fine stitches. Closing the wedge rolls the outer part of your lip inward, making your lip look thinner. Depending on the amount of skin and tissue being removed, the process should take about 15 to 30 minutes per lip.

Many patients are interested in an upper lip lift, or upper lip shortening as they are clearly bothered by an excessively long upper lip when looking straight on in the resting state (meaning without movement of the lip). Many people are more bothered by the upper lip hiding too much of their teeth during smiling. When we smile, for instance, it is normal for the upper lip to pull upward and out, revealing a good portion of your teeth. If the upper lip is excessively long, it can drape over the teeth to the point where even smiling will not allow sufficient visibility of the teeth.

A long lip can be very safely corrected by a Lip lift which involves making an incision under the nose where it meets the upper lip. This is called a sub-nasale upper lip lift since the incision is placed below the nose. Also known as “bull horn upper lip lift” based on the shape of the actual incision used for the lift. The upper limb of the incision follows the natural contour of the upper lip just below the nose. The lower limb approximates a mirror image of the upper limb and determines the amount of skin that will be removed. Once the excess amount of skin is removed, the upper lip is lifted by suturing the cut edges together.
