Lip Augmentation and Reduction

Lips play a central role in facial balance and expression. Whether enhancing volume or refining shape, lip surgery can create harmony, proportion, and natural beauty. At our New York offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, Dr. Thomas Loeb, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs both lip augmentation and lip reduction procedures with meticulous precision and artistry.

Lip augmentation may be achieved through injectable fillers or fat transfer for subtle enhancement, or through surgical lip lift techniques for longer-lasting definition. Lip reduction, on the other hand, carefully removes excess tissue to refine overly full lips while maintaining softness and natural movement.

Dr. Loeb’s goal is always the same—beautifully balanced lips that complement the patient’s features without looking overdone or artificial.

Whether enhancing thin lips or refining fullness, results are designed to look seamless and harmonious from every angle. Dr. Loeb’s patients appreciate his conservative technique, which prioritizes elegance and natural expression over exaggerated volume.

What to Expect When You Choose Dr. Loeb

Because no two faces are alike, lip enhancement and reduction procedures are customized to meet each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. During consultation, Dr. Loeb carefully evaluates lip structure, facial proportions, and desired results to recommend the best technique—non-surgical or surgical—for lasting balance and beauty.

When you choose Dr. Loeb, here’s what you can expect:

  • Desire for fuller, more defined lips
  • Correction of lip asymmetry or uneven contour
  • Refinement after trauma, prior surgery, or congenital irregularities
  • Reduction of overly prominent or disproportionate lips
  • Restoration of youthful definition lost with age

What to Expect from Lip Surgery

Lip augmentation with fillers is typically completed in under 30 minutes, with minimal downtime and immediate improvement. Surgical lip lift or reduction procedures may require local anesthesia or light sedation, with recovery lasting about 7–10 days.

Temporary swelling or bruising is normal and subsides as the lips settle into their new contour. Whether enhancing or reducing, Dr. Loeb ensures results that appear soft, natural, and proportionate—never exaggerated.
