This woman had previous undergone permanent lip filler to her upper and lower lips that had resulted in an ‘over-inflated’ appearance that was irregular and unnatural. She had undergone previous procedures to remove filler with relative disappointment in results. After some research she flew internationally to make an appointment to see Dr De Silva an expert in facial plastic surgery, following which she underwent lip reduction and reshaping surgery under sedation anaesthesia. Removal of previous lip filler can be challenging as the previous filler is often in many different layers of the lip and has resulted in considerable change in the natural lip anatomy, all treatment is focused on improvement, as perfection is rarely possible. The after photograph shows the result of her lips in which there was a smaller and more even lip with less irregularities. The patient was happy with her improvement in lip shape.

This man in his 20s had not liked his relatively large upper and lower lips for many years. The lips are in harmony with the rest of the face, and larger lips can give a man a more feminine appearance.

There is still swelling present and his lips will continue to heal, the final result in 6-12months after lip reduction surgery. The patient was very happy with his improved lip appearance.

This man in his 20s had previous trauma to his upper lip that had resulted in a visible scar and considerable asymmetry. After some research he made an appointment to see Dr De Silva an expert in facial plastic surgery, following which he underwent upper lip reshaping surgery under sedation anaesthesia.

This patient had not liked the relatively long distance from the base of her nose to her upper lip (termed philtrum). She searched for some time to find a facial specialist to advise her on treatment options to reduce the length of her philtrum. Detail is important with this procedure as a reduced philtrum distance in more attractive and feminine, however care should be taken to avoid over-shortening this distance as this may be less natural. The patient underwent a lip lift procedure with sedation anaesthesia, this procedure shortened the length of her philtrum, Dr De Silva concealed the scar in the natural curves at the base of the nostrils to hide the scars, the results are shown only six weeks after surgery. The after photograph shows an improved, feminine and natural looking shape of her upper lip and philtrum. The patient was very happy with her results.

This ethnic patient had not liked for some time the relatively long distance from her nose to her upper lip (termed philtrum). She searched for some time to find a facial specialist to advise her on treatment options to reduce the length of her philtrum and improve the position of her upper lip. After a consultation with Dr De Silva and discussion over her objectives from surgery and realistic expectations, she underwent a lip lift procedure with sedation anaesthesia. Dr De Silva used the natural curves at the base of the nostrils to hide the scars, the results are shown only six weeks after surgery. One of the key aspects of this procedure is scars, although no scars are invisible, at six weeks her scars are relatively difficult to be seen and can be covered further with concealer makeup, the final result of scars can be as long as 12-18 months in some patients. The post-surgery photograph at 6-weeks after surgery shows a conservative and natural looking shortened philtrum with uplifting and improved shape of her upper lip.
