Cheiloplasty surgery is a surgery that is very trendy right now. Nowadays, techniques are more innovative and better results are being obtained. In fact, more secondary cheiloplasty procedures are now being performed, because the products that used to be injected are causing deformities and problems in the lips.
Are there several types of cheiloplasty?
Yes, there are currently different types of cheiloplasty, and they are:
Augmentation cheiloplasty
This lip surgery is performed with the aim of achieving greater volume in the lips. However, nowadays the best option is to use hyaluronic acid (resorbable material) to achieve a successful lip augmentation.
Reduction cheiloplasty
If you want to reduce a lip injected with a non-resorbable product or reduce its own volume, you need to resort to reduction cheiloplasty with surgery.

What do we want to achieve with lip surgery?
What this procedure seeks is full, juicy and sensual lips. It is very trendy, mainly among women, and many “celebrities” have gone under the knife to reshape their lips. Among them are Beyoncé, Sofía Vergara and Tom Cruise. The list of celebrities with the most desired lips is headed by singer Taylor Swift, closely followed by Angelina Jolie and her voluptuous lips. Rihanna and Scarlett Johansson are also in the top positions.
And how exactly does secondary cheiloplasty work?
As mentioned above, years ago non-resorbable products were used to fill the lips, and these have caused many abnormalities and asymmetries in the lips. Nowadays, with secondary or reconstructive cheiloplasties, we are able to remove the product, leaving the lips harmonious and symmetrical.
Does cheiloplasty surgery have a recovery period?
- No rest required
- 3-4 days of swelling
- 7 days with sutures
- In some cases, bruising
