Lip Reduction at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Are you concerned that your lips appear too large or disproportionate to the rest of your facial features? Lip reduction surgery is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size and volume of the lips, enhancing facial harmony and creating a more balanced appearance. Whether you're seeking subtle refinement or more dramatic reshaping, lip reduction is a safe and effective solution with long-lasting results.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in facial contouring procedures, including customized lip reduction surgery. Our experienced team combines surgical precision with artistic sensibility to deliver results that look natural, symmetrical, and uniquely suited to each individual.
Why Choose Lip Reduction Surgery?
While fuller lips are popular in some cultures, others may feel self-conscious about overly prominent lips—especially if they are naturally thick or have become asymmetrical due to previous procedures or trauma. Lip reduction can help:
- Decrease overall lip volume
- Correct lip asymmetry or irregular contours
- Improve balance between the upper and lower lips
- Restore natural lip shape after overdone filler procedures
- Enhance comfort for those who experience speech or eating difficulties due to lip size
This procedure is commonly performed on both the upper and lower lips, depending on individual needs.
Personalized Approach to Lip Reshaping
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we believe in customized care that enhances your natural beauty. Every lip reduction procedure is tailored to the patient’s specific lip size, shape, and aesthetic goals.
Key Factors We Consider:
- Lip projection and proportion relative to nose and chin
- Symmetry between the upper and lower lips
- Ethnic and anatomical differences
- Desired final shape and volume
Our surgical approach ensures that lips are sculpted precisely to look elegant and natural—never overly thin or tight.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Lip reduction surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on whether one or both lips are treated.
Surgical Steps:
- Marking and Design: The surgeon outlines the area of excess tissue to be removed.
- Intraoral Incision: A horizontal incision is made on the inner side of the lip, leaving no visible external scar.
- Tissue Removal and Reshaping: Excess mucosa and soft tissue are removed in a measured amount to reduce volume and reshape the lip.
- Closure: The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures placed inside the mouth for a clean, hidden result.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from lip reduction surgery is straightforward, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Swelling and Mild Bruising: Common for the first 3–5 days
- Pain Management: Usually mild and managed with over-the-counter medication
- Stitches: Dissolve naturally within 7–10 days
- Diet: Soft foods are recommended for a few days to avoid irritation
- Hygiene: Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash to prevent infection and promote healing
- Activity: Avoid strenuous activity, excessive talking, and smoking during the first week
Most patients return to work or social activities within 5–7 days, with final results visible in 2–4 weeks.
Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results
Lip reduction surgery provides permanent results by removing excess tissue rather than temporarily altering lip volume. Our goal is to create a well-proportioned lip shape that complements your entire face—bringing harmony and confidence to your overall appearance.
