Lip Reduction

Lip reduction (cheiloplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess tissue from the upper lip, lower lip, or both to create better facial harmony. At Dr. Bharathi’s Aesthetic Studio, we specialize in precise lip contouring that maintains your natural expressions while achieving proportionate, aesthetically pleasing results.

What Is Lip Reduction Treatment?

Lip reduction treatment is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large or disproportionate lips, creating a more balanced and natural facial appearance. The treatment can be performed using surgical techniques or, in selected cases, non-surgical correction for patients seeking subtle refinement while maintaining lip symmetry and function.
