Other Details

Commonly known as Macrocheilia, Lip Reduction is a very complex and rare cosmetic correction requiring deft and experienced hands. Dr. Rohit is well versed in this domain and he has made many patients happy with his services in this regard.

Lip reduction is mostly done when the lips are unusually large due to the distension of the lymphatic spaces. The lips are permanently swollen and sometimes this is also due to leprosy in the patients.

In this surgery, great care is taken while making the incisions so that the scars are not visible. Each case differs from each other; hence the decision pertaining to the amount of excised tissue and the grade of planned inversion is taken with care and caution.

Braided 4.0 sutures are used to close the incisions, which take 7 to 9 days to heal. These sutures ensure that there is no swelling and it preserves their integrity despite the lips being wet and used for speech and other activities. Dr. Rohit takes great care so that the risks are minimal, side effects are almost nil, recovery is quick and the patient isn’t in much pain. The entire procedure is clearly explained, consent is sought and the patient is assured of the final results, which would match their expectations
