Lipoplasty: reduction of the volume of the lips of the mouth

Lip reduction is a common cosmetic lip surgery technique that treats enlarged lips or lips that are too large.

Lip reduction surgery or lipoplasty consists of removing excess lip tissue from the mouth to obtain a reduction in the volume of the mouth lips. If your lips are too thick naturally or following injections of non-absorbable products, we can correct their thickness thanks to a specific surgical technique: lip reduction.

Lip reduction can be performed on the upper lips only or on the lower lips only or on both the upper and lower lips.

This information sheet was written by Dr ABBOU who is a plastic surgeon in Paris.
