WHAT IS A LIP LIFT?
A Lip Lift is a simple, in-office surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the top of the lip, known as the “philtrum.” The procedure increases the amount of pink tissue that's visible which makes the lips look fuller and more pronounced.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF A LIP LIFT?
On the day of your lip lift, your surgeon will give you local a anesthesia to numb the area. You’re awake during the the entire process. During the lip lift procedure you won’t feel any pain.
In a lip lift, the surgeon will remove excess skin between the bottom of your nose and upper lip (philtrum) and lift your lip into position. Your surgeon might lift another area of your mouth instead of the upper lip, depending on the type of lip lift your having done.
LIP LIFT RECOVERY
What is the recovery time after a lip lift? You can expect to heal in six to eight weeks. Some swelling and bruising should start to go away within a week after the lip lift procedure and completely disappear within a month. Your lips may feel tight for a couple of months.
After lip lift surgery, you’ll wait under observation until the surgeon clears you to go home. You can go home on the same day as your procedure. You should ask someone to drive you home because the anesthetic can make you tired and dazed.
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to take care of your incision site and ways to help your skin healed.
Recommendations may include:
Sleep on your back with your head is elevated
Avoid talking a lot
Take medications as instructed
Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco products while you healing
Eat soft foods that don’t require a lot of chewing
It’s common to experience swelling, soreness and tightness after surgery. Your surgeon will schedule an appointment to remove your stitches a few days, or the stitches will dissolve on their own.
