Lip improvement surgical procedures

• Lip-plasty:

  Are your lips too thick or too full? It is possible to reduce the size of your lips. Through a small incision the surgeon turns the excess red of the lips inwards. The scar is hidden in the mouth and is therefore invisible. This procedure is performed under a local anaesthetic and last about an hour. The lips will be swollen and bruised for about 2 weeks. After 6 weeks the definite result is visible.



• Lip augmentation:

  Are your lips too thin or is the red part of the lips too narrow? It is possible to enhance the lips. If an injection is not effective because the red of the lips is too inverted then it can be enlarged by turning the red of the lips from the inside of the lips outwards. This procedure is performed with a local anaesthetic and lasts about an hour. The lips may be swollen and bruised for about two weeks. This procedure can be combined with an injectable filler.



• Lip-Plasty recovery:

  You have to wait a few months before the scars from a Lip-Plasty fully mature. You may experience a little discomfort when moving the lips for a few weeks. A temporary loss of sensation in the lips is possible. Sometimes the scar tissue can remain lumpy and sensitive for a longer period.
