· Those in Tokyo seeking professional cosmetic lip treatment.
· Those with uneven lips.
· Those who want slimmer lips.
· Those who want to correct their lip shape.
· Those who wish to have a more refined lip appearance.

Lip Reduction Surgery is a cosmetic procedure performed to give the lips a decrease in size by removing extra tissue from the inside of the lips. While many people know about lip augmentation which makes lips fuller, Lip Reduction Surgery does the opposite, it is for patients who want less volume in their lips. The procedure is often preferred by those who naturally have thicker lips or who are not happy with the results of a past lip enhancement.

The outcome of Lip Reduction Surgery is not just to make the lips thinner; it is also to create a more harmonious look that matches your overall facial structure. The procedure is done with care and precision by the doctor at our affiliated clinic, using techniques that prioritize both appearance and safety. While it is a surgical procedure, it is usually quick and appreciated by patients for the lasting improvement it brings to their confidence and self-image.

Lip Reduction Surgery begins with a consultation with the doctor at our affiliated clinic to align the procedure and expected results. The markings at the excessive area to be removed will be drawn prior to the procedure. Local anesthesia will be administered at the treatment area to ensure minimal discomfort. A small incision will be done on the inside of the lips to remove the tissues from the excessive area marked accordingly. As the incision is small and hidden, there shall be no visible scars as you recover after the sutures removal.

2. Local anesthesia will be applied to the treatment area.
3. A small incision will be made on the inside of the lip.
