Lips Correction (Lip Reshaping Surgery)

The lips play a central role in facial aesthetics and expression. Whether your concern is lips that are disproportionately large, thin, asymmetric, or poorly defined, lip correction surgery can restore balance and proportion to your lower face. At Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, Dr. Amit Agrawal offers both lip reduction and lip enhancement procedures to help patients achieve their desired lip shape, volume, and contour.

Lip reduction surgery is performed for patients who feel their lips are excessively full or thick in proportion to the rest of their face. The procedure involves removing a carefully measured strip of tissue from inside the lip through an incision placed along the inner mucosal surface. This approach ensures that the resulting scar is completely hidden within the mouth. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, and the result is a more refined, proportionate lip profile that harmonizes with the surrounding facial features.

Lip enhancement, conversely, adds volume and definition to thin or aging lips. This can be achieved through injectable dermal fillers (such as hyaluronic acid) for a non-surgical approach, or through surgical techniques including fat grafting and lip advancement procedures for more permanent augmentation. Dr. Agrawal evaluates the patient's facial proportions, lip anatomy, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most suitable technique. In all cases, the aim is a natural-looking result that enhances rather than overwhelms the face.

Recovery & Aftercare

Lip surgery recovery is relatively quick. Swelling is most pronounced during the first 2–3 days and progressively reduces over 1–2 weeks. Mild bruising may occur and typically resolves within a week. Sutures (if used) are absorbable or removed at 5–7 days. Patients should eat soft foods for the first few days and avoid strenuous activity for 1–2 weeks. Injectable filler treatments require virtually no downtime — patients may return to normal activities immediately. Final results for surgical procedures are visible once all swelling has resolved, typically within 4–6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is lip reduction surgery visible or does it leave scars?
The incision for lip reduction is placed inside the lip along the mucosal surface, so the scar is completely hidden and not visible at all. The procedure leaves no external marks, and once healed, the result looks entirely natural.
How long do lip filler results last compared to surgical enhancement?
Injectable lip fillers typically last 6–12 months before gradual absorption by the body, requiring maintenance treatments. Surgical lip enhancement — especially fat grafting — provides permanent or near-permanent results, though some fat may reabsorb in the initial months. Dr. Agrawal will help you choose the best option based on your goals and preferences.
Can both lips be treated at the same time?
Yes, both the upper and lower lips can be treated simultaneously during the same session — whether for reduction, enhancement, or a combination of both. Treating both lips together ensures proportionate results and saves the patient from needing a separate procedure.
