What is the effect of thinning thick lips? Are there any sequelae?
The so-called "thick lips" means that the thickness of male lips exceeds 9mm, and the lower lip exceeds10.5 mm; ; Women's upper lip is more than 8mm, and lower lip is more than 9 mm. Lip thickness is related to genetic and ethnic characteristics, and some are local chronic infections.

The main causes of thick lips are: congenital hypertrophy, thick lips (visible when opening and closing), less facial paralysis, and hypertrophy of oral and labial connective tissue caused by Crohn's disease.

The thinning of thick lips is to cut off an oral mucosa and muscle according to the thickness of the upper and lower lips, which is spindle-shaped or zigzag, and then directly draw a suture incision to make the thick lips thin, and take out stitches in 5-7 days. The scar of the surgical incision is hidden in the mouth and the effect is ideal.

At present, there is no effective medicine to make thick lips thinner, so plastic surgery is the most ideal method to correct the deformity of thick lips or heavy lips. This operation is not very complicated. Generally, it is carried out in outpatient department, using local anesthesia. Make an incision parallel to the lip and lower lip arch along the oral mucosa, and remove a mucosa with some submucosal tissues and orbicularis oris muscle. After fine cosmetic stitching, the thickness of labia returned to the aesthetic standard. The operation time is not long and the pain is not great.
