Harmonizes with your entire face! Lip shaping that emphasizes delicate aesthetic balance
At BIANCA CLINIC, our lip reduction (plump lip correction) procedures focus not solely on the lips themselves, but on designing a look that harmonizes with the entire face. We prioritize achieving a natural and refined appearance by considering balance with the E-line and facial contours, rather than simply reducing thickness.
The incision site is primarily positioned inside the lips, so scars become less noticeable over time and the results appear natural. Furthermore, we incorporate techniques to minimize downtime such as swelling and bruising, addressing concerns like "Will I be able to close my mouth after surgery?" We strive to provide a procedure that each patient can undergo with peace of mind, offering personalized care.

CHARACTERISTICSLip Reduction (Plump Lip Correction)
Lip reduction (plump lip correction) is a procedure to thin and refine thick lips (commonly known as plump lips). By removing part of the lip mucosa and subcutaneous tissue and suturing it, the thickness is reduced, creating a more natural lip line.
Generally, the ideal thickness for beautiful lips is considered to be approximately 8mm for the upper lip and 10mm for the lower lip. The golden ratio is said to be 1:1.5, meaning the lower lip is 1.5 times the thickness of the upper lip. When the combined thickness of both lips exceeds 2.5cm, they are often perceived as thick lips. It's not just the vertical thickness but also the balance with the width that affects the overall impression. Therefore, even if the lips aren't particularly thick, they can appear thick if the width is narrow.
At our clinic, while referencing such standards and ratios, we design not merely to thin the lips, but to harmonize with each individual's facial features. This includes considering the E-line, the presence of a protruding mouth, and the balance between upper and lower lips, aiming for a result that complements the unique contours of each face.
No need to worry about scars! A surgical incision method that delivers a natural finish.
Lip reduction (plump lip correction) achieves a result where scars are less visible externally by placing incisions inside the lips or at the junction between skin and mucous membrane. Post-surgery, temporary swelling or bruising may occur, but in most cases, this subsides within about 1 to 2 weeks. After that, as approximately 3 to 6 months pass, the scars become even less noticeable and blend naturally into the lip area.
We carefully design to guide you toward a natural-looking smile, while respecting your desire to avoid regret. Our design avoids excessive thickness, aiming for a smile that blends naturally with your expression. Additionally, the refined lip line enhances the color payoff of lipstick and gloss, creating a more elegant impression.
Thickness and shape can be adjusted as desired
Lip reduction (plump lip correction) is not simply a procedure to “thin the lips.” At Bianca Clinic, we carefully listen to each patient's ideal outcome and perform customized adjustments to thickness and shape.
For example, we can flexibly address concerns such as: "I'm bothered by how my lips stand out when I smile," "I want to improve the balance between my upper and lower lips," or "My lip makeup looks unnatural because of my thick lips."
We can perform procedures on either the upper or lower lip alone. However, considering the overall harmony—including the E-line and the presence of a protruding mouth—achieves a more natural and beautiful result. By reflecting the ideal shape while prioritizing achievable changes within reasonable limits, we enhance patient satisfaction after surgery.

Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSPrioritizing a natural finish with gentle thickness adjustments
Some people wish to make their lips as thin as possible because they significantly influence the overall impression of the face. However, making them excessively thin can result in an unnatural appearance or affect mouth movement and pronunciation.
At Bianca Clinic, we carefully adjust thickness within reasonable limits to preserve natural facial expressions. While many patients express concerns about the final appearance after surgery, we strive to achieve a natural-looking mouth that balances aesthetic beauty and functionality by adhering to appropriate design principles and precise excision volumes.
Adjust the balance between top and bottom to achieve the ideal shape.
Some clients request treatment for only the upper lip or only the lower lip, but assessing the overall balance leads to a more natural-looking result. For example, we often receive requests such as "I'm concerned about my protruding mouth" or "I want a mouthline that follows the E-line."
At Bianca Clinic, we design elegant, harmonious shapes while considering the thickness of both upper and lower teeth and their alignment. Using simulations and case photos, we provide careful consultations to help patients achieve their desired smile.
Custom design reflecting "What I want to become!"
Lip reduction (plump lip correction) is a procedure whose results vary according to each individual's ideal and facial features. At Bianca Clinic, we broadly accommodate individuals who may not fit the typical definition of plump lips but are concerned about the appearance of their lip makeup or the impression their smile makes.
During the pre-operative consultation, we carefully discuss "how much thickness you wish to retain" and "how you want your mouth area to appear," then determine a custom design.Additionally, depending on your preferences, we may also suggest related procedures such as lip corner elevation, lip lift, or hyaluronic acid injections.By designing a combination of procedures rather than just a standalone lip reduction, it becomes easier to maintain a natural and elegant mouth area over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lip Reduction (Plump Lip Correction)
Q&AWhat is lip reduction surgery?
Lip reduction (plump lip correction) is a procedure that removes part of the mucous membrane and subcutaneous tissue from thick lips (plump lips), then sutures them to make them thinner. Since it is performed while considering the overall facial balance, it results in a natural and elegant mouth.
Are lip reduction scars noticeable?
The incision is made inside the lip or along the mucosal border, making it virtually invisible from the outside. Swelling and redness may persist for 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, but they typically subside naturally within 3 to 6 months. By this time, they often become unnoticeable during speech or smiling.
Can both upper and lower lips be reduced at the same time?
Yes, simultaneous upper and lower treatments are possible. While we can perform treatments on just one area, considering the overall balance of the mouth, we sometimes perform both upper and lower treatments simultaneously. This approach can yield a more natural and refined result.
Is there pain involved in lip reduction surgery?
Local anesthesia, sedation anesthesia, and intravenous anesthesia are used, so there is virtually no pain during the procedure. After the procedure, swelling, discomfort, or mild pain may occur, but these will subside over time.
How long does a lip reduction procedure take?
Treatments at our clinic, including design, typically take about 1 to 2 hours. The duration may vary depending on the area to be removed and your preferences, but we will carefully explain the estimated time required during your preliminary consultation.
When can I start eating after lip reduction surgery?
On the day of your treatment, please focus on soft foods and avoid irritants (spicy foods, hot foods, carbonated drinks, etc.) for about one week. Starting the next day, you may gradually return to your normal diet while monitoring any swelling.
How long do the effects of lip reduction last?
Since this is a surgical procedure involving excision, the results are generally long-lasting. While the appearance may change due to aging or weight fluctuations, it is characterized by its resistance to reversal.
How long is the downtime for lip reduction?
Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Sutures are removed after one week. Since moving your mouth widely during conversation or eating can cause discomfort, resting is key to speeding up recovery.
Especially when opening your mouth wide or repeatedly pronouncing "ee" and "oo," it can be taxing, so it's best to avoid jobs requiring a lot of talking for about a week.
Can you correct lip reduction surgery performed at another clinic?
Depending on the condition, revision may be possible. First, we will examine the thickness of your lips and the state of any scars during a consultation to determine suitability. Revision may be difficult in some cases, so please consult with us first.
Can lips thicken again after lip reduction surgery?
It generally does not thicken again. This is because the area that has been removed does not return to its original state. However, changes in facial contours or overall appearance due to aging or weight fluctuations may sometimes create the impression that the area has thickened.
How many centimeters is considered a pouty lip?
While there is no medically precise definition, the thickness of lips considered beautiful is generally around 8mm for the upper lip and 10mm for the lower lip. The ideal ratio is said to be 1:1.5, meaning the lower lip is 1.5 times the thickness of the upper lip. When the combined thickness of both lips exceeds 2.5cm, they often appear thick and fleshy. However, it's not solely determined by vertical thickness; the balance of width also plays a role. Therefore, it cannot be judged by numbers alone, and harmony with the entire face is crucial.
