Abstract

Lip reduction is a plastic surgery procedure that enhances facial appearance by reducing the volume of   lower, upper or both lips. This procedure finds its usefulness in the present-day lip reduction plasty as a form of cosmetic surgery. We present a 28-year- old female who complained of broad lips with a portion of red (wet) vermilion exposed when the mouth was closed. We present this rare aesthetic surgical procedure in our hospital and also a search of relevant literature.  Level of Evidence: level 1V
