Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

Dear Dr. Lam,

I sent you a PM regarding the price for your lip reduction @ your clinic, but I haven't received any kind of a reply yet! Please let me know asap.

Also, I was wondering: Is there a limit to how much lip you can reduce?

Also, my overall lip shape is pretty round and unshapely (faint cupid's bow). Is there a way this could be improved during the reduction?

Thank you! I hope to hear from you soon!

sorry for the delay in replying. as you know, i have been out of country until now. as far as changing the shape of the lip, the answer is yes and no. yes, i can contour the red shape of the lip to create a more favorable shape (see attachment) where i changed it from a round to a three part curve. however, when you start to try to mess with the vermilion border (the border between the red and white lips) like with a lip reduction/advancement there, you have unacceptable scarring that cannot even be covered with makeup. hope that is clear.
best,
sml
