Ideal Candidates for Lip Reduction

Candidates for lip reduction surgery are typically healthy, nonsmoking individuals with realistic expectations about the procedure. Patients seeking to reduce lip size and improve facial proportions are ideal candidates for this surgical approach.

The "Bikini" Lip Reduction Technique

Dr. Cangello utilizes the specialized "Bikini" Lip Reduction method, which maintains the natural lip architecture while precisely reducing volume. This in-office procedure offers minimal downtime and permanent results without general anesthesia.

Procedure Details

The lip reduction surgery involves carefully marked excisions resembling a bikini top and bottom design. Dr. Cangello meticulously plans the procedure to ensure balanced lip volume, with the lower lip maintaining approximately 40-50 percent more volume than the upper lip.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect temporary swelling and mild discomfort following the procedure, which typically diminishes within several days. Most patients heal quickly and require minimal downtime after lip reduction surgery.
