Lip Reduction

As with most body features, the lips can be either too thin or too large in the eyes of their owner. While many people seek an augmentation of the lip, there are others that wish for smaller lips. Pronounced lips can overshadow a person’s face and even cause some difficulties with speech. Through lip reduction, larger lips can be resized to a more proportionate size for the person’s face. A lip reduction can effectively reduce the size of either the bottom, top or both lips.

Lip Resizing

Unlike lip enhancement that involves injections, lip resizing or reduction requires surgery. However, in most cases the surgery is fairly simple and expedient. A portion of the lip is usually removed through an incision inside the lip, then stitched shut to heal. Dr. Khosh will explain what to expect during recovery; however, lip reduction procedures usually only have moderate pain for a few days and can heal quickly as long as patients follow the recovery instructions.

Many times, patients will undergo other procedures with a lip reduction, such as reshaping the lips or other feature changes like a rhinoplasty. Since lip reduction is a quick procedure, it can easily be performed along with other cosmetic surgeries.

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 are hoping to reduce the size of your lips, contact our office today for a private consultation.

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!

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.
