As we age, our lips start to get thinner and lose their definition. You may have noticed fine lines forming around your lips and at the corners. Lip enhancement allows you to get more definition in your lips and give your mouth an alluring and youthful look. t;/p>

 

Lip enhancement is often requested once the V-shaped area of the upper lip, known as Cupid's Bow, starts to flatten and lose its fullness. Lipstick tends to bleed down vertical wrinkles, greatly reducing the impact of your lips, and having lip enhancement can stop that.

 

 

What is lip enhancement good for?

Lip Reduction

 

Lip reduction surgery surgery is for women and men whose lips are of a size that causes them to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Lips that droop or turn outwards can also lead to a lack of confidence and cause anxiety.

 

Lip reduction surgery will provide a permanent, natural looking result and last the rest of your life.

 

Lip reduction surgery can be performed under local and/or general anaesthetic. The procedure takes about one hour and takes about two weeks to heal.

 

Procedure

Lip reduction is performed by making an incision in the length of your lip inside your mouth and then removing a strip of skin from one or both lips, depending upon the look you want to achieve. Dr Deepak Kalia will aim to enhance the mouth and lips area to complement your facial features, giving you a softened, natural mouth.

 

Risk

Fortunately, significant complications from lip reduction surgery are infrequent. Every year, many people undergo successful lip reduction surgery, experience no problems and are delighted with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and the risks. Dr Deepak Kalia will discuss these with you during your consultation.

 

After Care

Take it easy and sleep on two pillows to keep your head elevated for around 7-14 days – or however long your surgeon suggests. Remember that swelling and bruising is perfectly normal after surgery, but this will clear up after a few weeks. You should expect to see the final results from the lip reduction surgery in about three months. Because of the swelling your lips may look larger after the procedure than before, but they will settle in time.

 

Activities

Give yourself a week after the completion of your lip reduction surgery before returning to your normal routine. It's also advisable to refrain from participating in contact sports for at least six to eight weeks.
