Lip Reduction in McLean, VA | Washingtonian Plastic Surgery

Understanding Lip Reduction Surgery

Lip reduction surgery offers a sophisticated solution for individuals seeking to balance and proportion their facial features. At Washingtonian Plastic Surgery, our expert team provides personalized lip reduction procedures tailored to each patient's unique aesthetic goals.

What is Lip Reduction?

Lip reduction is a precise cosmetic surgical procedure designed to decrease lip volume and create harmonious facial proportions. Dr. Navin Singh specializes in this delicate technique, helping patients achieve natural-looking results that enhance their overall facial aesthetic.

Conditions Indicating Lip Reduction

Several medical conditions might necessitate lip reduction surgery, including:

• Macrocheilia
• Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome
• Lymphedematous infiltration
• Inflammatory conditions
• Glandular hypertrophy

The Procedure: What to Expect

Washingtonian Plastic Surgery performs lip reduction as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The surgery typically takes 45-60 minutes, with Dr. Singh making a carefully placed horizontal incision in the inner pink portion of the lip to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect slight swelling and discomfort during the initial recovery period, which typically resolves within 1-3 weeks. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimal complications.

Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal candidates for lip reduction are individuals in good overall health without autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. Smokers and those with certain medical conditions may be advised against the procedure.
