Lip reduction surgery
English subtitled video
The lip reduction surgery performed in Clínica Sanza in Barcelona consists of redefining lip contour and volume, eliminating the excess of tissue or rearranging it to achieve a desired and harmonious aesthetic result in consonance with the rest of the facial structure.
This decrease in lip size can be due to several factors:
- Large lips from birth
- People who have had silicone or biopolymers in the past.
- People who have had hyaluronic acid and find their lips are too large
Clínica Sanza in Barcelona, Spain, is a reference center for lip reduction surgery.
