Reasons You May Be Considering Lip Reduction

Close Up of Woman's Lips

Lip reduction is the resizing through reduction of your lips using surgery. This type of procedure is, in most cases, a fairly simple and expedient surgery. The recovery is fairly easy, with moderate pain for a few days. Healing can be quick as well if you follow the post-operative instructions carefully.

If you’re considering lip reduction, you are not alone. This is a common procedure, sought by many with oversized lips. Dr. Khosh explains one typical reason you might be considering lip reduction. There is a new trend among Asian women to reduce their lip size. The desired outcome is a smaller, thinner pout.

Another reason you may consider a lip reduction could be due to your upcoming rhinoplasty procedure. Often times, a simple lip reduction procedure is coupled with other feature changes like rhinoplasty. Since lip reduction is a quick procedure, it can be easily performed along with other cosmetic surgeries.

Facial harmony is another reason for lip reduction. If your lips are out of proportion to your other features on your facial structures you may choose lip reduction to achieve a harmonious facial appearance. Often, your lips are assessed in relationship with your nose and chin.

Dr. Khosh is an expert at facial plastic surgery. He is dual board certified, specializing and focusing on facial cosmetic procedures, including lip reduction. If you’re considering a lip reduction in 2019, contact his office for a private consultation. Don’t allow your pronounced lips to overshadow your face any longer. Come see us today.

Meredith G.
Saw Dr. Khosh for a fractured nose. He reset my nose beautifully (and with little discomfort to me) and then discussed some of my sinus issues with me upon my follow up visit. Never felt like he was rushing me out and felt very confident in his abilities. I would highly recommend to anyone needing plastic or reconstructive options!

Great front office, really good experience after what was a terrible accident. I was made to feel comfortable. Dr. Khosh is very good at what he does. I'm still healing but I'm confident of the results

After visiting and being evaluated by several doctors, I kept going back to Dr. Khosh. His tranquil spirit and professionalism were captivating. Thank you for a job well done and keeping me calm throughout the entire process. A special thanks to your staff Susan and Christine for all of their support as well. Hi highly recommend Dr. Khosh.

Upon hearing of the overwhelmingly positive experience a friend of mine had in choosing Dr. Khosh as her surgeon, I decided to make an appointment for my own septoplasty/rhinoplasty/turbinate reduction. Although I was slightly skeptical as the praise I had heard seemed a bit hyperbolic, all uncertainty dissipated after meeting the Doctor and his staff. My pre- and post-operative experience was excellent in terms of concerns adequately addressed prior to the surgery and mitigation of any bruising in the convalescent period. Despite my apparent predisposition to rather slower healing, a year after the surgery, my nose looks really pretty and my breathing entirely unobstructed! I highly recommend Dr. Khosh!

AMAZING!!!!!! I had Dr Khosh perform lipo on my chin/neck and my result is unbelievable! Better than I could have expected! I met with a couple of surgeons and the second I met with Dr Khosh I knew he was the one I was going with. He was compassionate and explained every detail of what would take place during the surgery and what to expect during recovery. I even emailed a few times during recovery with various questions and he got right back to me asap which was really comforting! I honestly fully recommend Dr Khosh, he did an amazing job and is an amazing person.

i can finally breathe!! Dr. Khosh made the entire experience a breeze, it was truly a pleasure to be under his care. I am forever thankful and highly recommend him. Not only does his work speak for himself, but he has excellent bedside manner. His kindness and patience is above and beyond. He takes the time to answer to every question you have to help you understand the process while at the same time making you feel so comfortable. From the first consultation i knew i was in good hands. I am so pleased with the result and forever thankful.
