Läppäleikkaukselle

Läppäleikkaukselle, often translated as "lip surgery" or more specifically "lip reduction surgery," is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large or prominent lips. The primary goal is to achieve a more aesthetically balanced facial profile and to address any functional concerns that may arise from significantly enlarged lips, such as difficulties with speech or eating.

The procedure typically involves surgically removing excess tissue from the lip. Depending on the desired outcome, this can be done on the upper lip, lower lip, or both. The technique used by the surgeon will vary based on the individual's anatomy and the extent of the reduction required. Incisions are usually made within the mouth or along the natural contour of the lips to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery time varies, but most patients experience swelling and discomfort for the first few weeks. Bruising is also common. It is important for patients to follow post-operative care instructions carefully, which may include dietary restrictions and oral hygiene practices.

Like any surgical procedure, läppäleikkaukselle carries potential risks and complications, including infection, scarring, changes in sensation, and unsatisfactory aesthetic results. A thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to discuss individual suitability, expectations, and potential outcomes. The surgeon will assess the patient's lip structure, overall facial harmony, and medical history to determine if this surgery is the right choice.
