Suitable candidates for lip reduction
Anyone who feels their lips are too thick, or when your upper lip or lower lip is too big or is hanging down, is a good candidate for a lip reduction procedure.
Lip Reduction
Are your lips too thick or do you have a hanging lower lip? In that case, our plastic surgeons can reduce your lips with a surgical procedure. With this procedure, the excess mucous membrane - on the inside of the lip - is removed to reduce the size of the lip.

Lip reduction procedure
In the procedure to make the lips thinner the excess mucous membrane - on the inside of the lip - is removed to reduce the size of the lip. The surgeon positions the stitches on the inside of the mouth, so there will not be any visible scars.
Reducing the lips takes between 45 and 90 minutes and the treatment can be performed under local anaesthetic. You can go home right after the procedure.
What to expect?
You can go home right after the procedure. The stitches do not need to be removed, as they are dissolvable.
Your lips will look more beautiful and in balance.
Step by StepStep by Step
Consultation
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
- Honest and expert advice
- Unambiguous information
- Full price transparency
Surgery
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
Immediate Recovery
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
Aftercare & Recovery
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
