Lip Reduction Surgery Cost in India

Sometimes, having full lips can be pretty. Other times, having fuller lips can throw off the balance of the face, disrupt speech, and create self-esteem issues. Lip reduction surgery is the answer to all of these problems, as it is an effective and safe procedure. This surgery focuses on the harmonious and natural smile aspect, and uses the tissue in the upper and or lower lip, and all the while the scars remain hidden.

In this blog, we will cover the lip reduction surgery cost. This will include differences between cities, what factors impact the costs, what recovery looks like, and lastly, we will discuss the importance of choosing a very experienced plastic surgeon.

What Is Lip Reduction Surgery?

Lip reduction is a type of surgery where a person has their lips made smaller. If people have their lips made smaller, it can be done on the upper part, the lower lip, or both at the same time, which is based on what the person needs.  

The purpose is to overall decrease the size of the lips; they are going to be reshaped to improve the overall look of a person’s face. Some of the people who have the procedure done can get the following results:

• Get more balanced features.  
• Remove excess lip tissue that a person is born with.  
• Make the lips look less huge.  
• Look and feel better about their overall appearance.  
• Improve lip mobility and speech (this is rare).  

Since it is done on the inside of a person's mouth, it is done in a way where scars on the outside of the lips will be undetectable.

What Is the Average Cost of Lip Reduction Surgery in India?

Lip reduction surgery in India typically costs ₹30,000 to ₹1,50,000. The final price varies depending on the city, the surgeon’s experience, the clinic, and whether the procedure involves one or both lips.
Upper or lower lip reduction alone often ranges from ₹25,000–₹50,000, while combined (both lips) procedures cost more.

Type of Lip Reduction Surgery & Cost

If you’re thinking about surgery on your lips, know that the pricing is different depending on whether you want the top lip, bottom lip, or both.

• Getting your upper lip done is going to cost the least because that one takes the least amount of work.
  
  
• If you want to reduce your lower lip, that is going to cost a bit more because it is more voluminous and is going to require extra work on the contouring.
  
  
• Getting both lips done is going to cost the most because it is a combo surgery, but in the end is the best option because of the harmony it creates, the more natural results, and you’re done recovering in one go.

Factors Affecting Lip Reduction Surgery Cost

1. Surgeon’s Expertise

2. City and Clinic Location

Compared to small towns, big metro cities charge more such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Additionally, advanced cosmetic centers equipped with modern technology may have slightly more expensive prices.

3. Your Procedure Details

4. Your Facility Charges

High end surgical centers may charge more for a procedure due to their high standards of cleanliness, private surgical suites, and cutting-edge technology.

5. Your Anesthesia Fees

Lip reduction does place you under local anesthesia and is a more affordable procedure, however, if you request general anesthesia or it is medically warranted, the cost of the procedure increases.  

6. Your Pre- and Post-Operative Care

Other factors that may affect the total cost of the procedure may be due to the consultation, prescribed medications, and follow up appointments after the procedure.

Recovery After Lip Reduction Surgery

Healing usually goes well and this is what most people have to say about their experience.

• Mild swelling for 5–7 days- swelling is completely normal after the procedure and the amount you are swollen will go down over time.
• A little tight- you may feel some tightness in your lips during the first couple of days.
• Soft diet- Avoid very spicy and oily foods as well as extremely hot temperatures for about four or five days.
• Light activity- Things that would stretch your lips are to be avoided for about one or two weeks after the procedure.
• Stitches are self-removing- You don't have to come back to take out the stitches.
• Results in 3 weeks- You should be able to see the shape of the lips that you will have after the swelling goes down and they should be completely healed after about 6 or 8 weeks.
