The procedure for lip repositioning is a minimally invasive, outpatient surgical procedure that offers life-changing results. This type of plastic surgery does not leave visible scarring and can be performed with local anesthesia or additional forms of sedation. This surgical treatment is performed in the office and takes less than an hour to complete. What to Expect With Lip Positioning? Listed below are some of the common side effects and risks associated with lip repositioning.

Preoperative care for lip repositioning is important, as it requires a general anesthetic and healthy tissue. It is also important for prospective patients to stop smoking several weeks before surgery to ensure a proper healing process. The surgeon performs lip repositioning surgery using a local anesthetic and will remove a strip of tissue from the inner part of the top lip. The newly exposed area will be sutured into an aesthetically pleasing position. There is no need for a follow-up procedure.

If you are uncomfortable with the appearance of your gums, lip positioning can correct the problem. The procedure can help reduce excessive gums, which makes it a popular procedure for women. However, you must have healthy gums before getting this procedure. You may also be prone to gingivitis, so be sure to take care of it before the procedure. This will ensure the best results possible. And of course, you must choose an experienced surgeon to perform your procedure.
