Lip Surgery
Although full lips are currently a desirable feature sought by many people, excessively prominent lips may interfere with oral function, and "fat lips" can become a source of ridicule. Men and women can be affected by overly large lower lips or both. Outward turning or drooping lips can cause anxiety or a lack of self confidence. Lip reduction should last for many years and provide a permanent, natural looking lip shape.
