At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, we understand that facial harmony and patient confidence go hand in hand. Under the guidance of Dr. S. Sivakumar, we offer specialized lip reduction procedures designed to help you achieve balanced and natural-looking lips.

What is Lip Reduction?

Lip reduction is a cosmetic procedure that decreases the volume of the upper and/or lower lips by removing excess tissue. Ideal for individuals who feel their lips are disproportionately large, this surgery refines lip shape and creates a more balanced facial profile.

Overview

We offer a personalized consultation to assess your lip anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and formulate a customized surgical plan. Our focus is on comfort, safety, and achieving subtle, natural results.

Causes

Excessive lip size can be due to:

  • Genetics and hereditary traits
  • Hormonal changes or medical conditions (e.g., hereditary angioedema)
