Understanding lip reduction surgery in Dubai: Beyond the basics

Lip reduction surgery, or cheiloplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to decrease the volume of the lips, creating a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance. 

This procedure is ideal for individuals who feel their lips are too prominent, thick, or out of balance with their other facial features.

Why consider lip reduction surgery?

Is lip reduction surgery right for you?

Considering lip reduction surgery in Dubai requires careful thought and a thorough understanding of the procedure. Ideal candidates are generally:

During your consultation with Dr. Sherif Hantash, a detailed evaluation will be conducted to determine if lip reduction surgery is the most suitable option for your unique aesthetic goals.

The procedure: What to expect during your lip reduction surgery

The lip reduction surgery procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or general anesthesia:

Incision

A horizontal incision is carved along the inside of the lip, either upper or lower, or both, depending on the desired result. This precision ensures that any scarring remains discrete and hidden inside the mouth.

Tissue Removal

Excess tissue, including mucosa and sometimes a small amount of underlying muscle, is removed to reduce the lip's volume.

Suturing

The incisions are then meticulously closed with dissolvable sutures.

The duration of the lip reduction surgery ranges from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the case and whether both lips are being addressed.

Recovery and results: Your journey to a balanced smile

Following your lip reduction surgery, you can expect some bruising and swelling, which will gradually subside over the first week or two. Mild pain can be expected, which is managed with prescribed medication.

Key recovery tips:

  • Cold compresses: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
  • Soft diet: Consume soft foods for the first few days to avoid irritating the incision sites.
  • Oral hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene with gentle brushing and antiseptic mouthwash as recommended by Dr. Hantash.
  • Avoid strenuous activity: Limit vigorous exercise and activities that could strain your lips for a few weeks.

The initial results of your lip reduction surgery will be visible once the swelling diminishes, with the final outcome becoming apparent within a few weeks to a couple of months. 

The goal is always to achieve a natural, harmonious, and balanced appearance that enhances your overall facial features. Did you know that the perception of beauty often relies on facial symmetry and balance? 

Lip reduction can significantly contribute to this harmony!
