Lip reduction surgery

Reduce lip size to achieve a balanced mouth shape

Lip reduction surgery involves making an incision inside the mouth to remove part of the orbicularis oculi muscle, unnecessary tissue, and mucosa, and then
It is a surgery that reduces the size of the lips themselves by suturing with special threads.

Lip reduction surgery KEY POINT

Reducing lip thickness

By trimming excessively thick lips
Natural volume that matches facial proportions

Design considering the lip line

Reducing the volume of the upper lip and
Simultaneously corrects lines to create a distinct three-dimensional effect

Relatively small scars

By making an incision in the oral mucosa on the inside of the lip
Almost invisible scar, relatively fast recovery period

Double microsuture

Incision inside the mouth to remove part of the orbicularis oculi muscle and unnecessary tissue
After removing the mucous membranes, etc., suturing is performed using special thread.

Lip reduction surgery

Depending on the condition, A-Top may be performed on only the upper or lower lip, or both areas simultaneously.

Point 01

Correction of outwardly inverted lips

Point 02

Improvement effect on protruding mouth

Point 03

A nearly invisible scar from an incision on the inner lip mucosa

Point 04

relatively short recovery period

Lip reduction surgery Surgical method

After determining the desired lip size and thickness to match the facial proportions, an appropriate amount is excised through the inner oral mucosa of the lip.
Because we use biocompatible dissolvable sutures and perform delicate and meticulous suturing, there is almost no visible scarring. Depending on the condition of the lip line, it may be performed in conjunction with lip corner correction if necessary.

Lip reduction surgery technology

We demonstrate our focus, technical expertise, and results in lip reduction surgery.

POINT 01
POINT 02

The lips have a relatively thin skin layer, as well as
This is the area where arteries and capillaries flow.

In the case of lip reduction, while correcting the overall thickness
Because damage to nerves, arteries, etc. must be avoided
The technical skills of the medical staff are of the utmost importance.

A-Top uses a minimal incision of the oral mucosa
To prevent the scar from being exposed to the outside, and
Double suturing reduces the probability of contracture.

To prevent construction

Double microsuture

After lip reshaping surgery, contracture is prone to occur where the sutured area becomes tightly packed, causing the wound to protrude upward.
It begins to appear 2 weeks after surgery and gradually subsides after 3 months.

A-Top performs double micro-sutures to reduce this contracture phenomenon and ensures that symptoms can be alleviated at an earlier stage through post-operative care.
