LIPS:
My lips are too big. What are my options to decrease the size of my lips?
Lip Reduction Surgery can be done under local anesthesia
Excess skin and subcutaneous tissue and muscle are removed to produce the desired result.
The resulting scars are hidden within the inside part of the lips.
This is a permanent reduction of the lip size.
THE RISKS:
What are the risks of doing Surgery?
With any surgery there are surgical and anesthetic risks.
Aside from the rare risks of an anesthetic event, some of the general and specific surgical risks for this procedure would include:
scarring
infection
discomfort
asymmetry
bleeding (hematoma): if you take blood thinning medication, this must be stopped at least one week prior to surgery and one week after surgery
**This list is not complete.
During the consultation with the patient, Dr. Giuffre will outline and explain each of the risks in detail.
