What is the post-operative period following a lip lift

The post-operative period following a lip lift is short and painless. During the first few days, you may experience mild discomfort such as a a15> mild swelling or tightness, but these disappear quickly.

Following the procedure for the lip lift, the patient will take medication antibiotics for 7 days to prevent the wound from becoming infected. Anti-inflammatory medicines will also be prescribed, painkillers and medicines that prevent bleeding.

Scars can be covered with silicone dressings to blend the effect of the healing process and make them virtually imperceptible.

Over the course of these 7 days, the patient should apply Cristalmina to the treated area to ensure more effective disinfection and, consequently, a better outcome. It is important that the patient avoids sudden movements of the mouth, such as opening it forcefully or laughing loudly, to prevent excessive pressure on the treated area. The scar should be protected from sun exposure and smoking should be avoided.

Once the week following the surgery has passed, the patient will be seen at the clinic to have the stitches removed, procedure painless, and to allow an assessment of the results.

It is important to avoid strenuous physical exercise for about 20 days

Results of the Lip Lift

With a lip lift we achieve a upper lip that is more protruding and a more youthful expression. By shortening the vertical space of the philtrum, the upper lip is pulled back towards outwards and becomes more exposed with the resulting increase in volume and further accentuating even more the arch of Cupid.
The results are very natural-looking and long-lasting, with a high level of satisfaction of the patient.
As with any cosmetic surgery, you should always look for a qualified medical professional with credentials in Plastic Surgery, Aesthetic and Reconstructive surgery, and that the treatment is carried out in a clinic or hospital approved so that it has all the safety measures necessary to avoid problems later on.
