How can I correct my lip after having a le Fort one osteotomy?

An examination would be helpful to determine the extent of the lip contracture.  This may have resulted from the incision and scarring. Its difficult to tell, but there are options available. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian 

Thank you for your question about lip augmentation.Follow up directly with your surgeon.I would probably recommend healing for at least a year prior to undergoing any lip procedures.



I hope this helps.

It is way toot early to be assessing the effects of a LeFort 1 osteotomy on the lips. It takes a full 6 months for all swelling, scarring and adverse tissue effects to either resolve or improve maximally. Tightness of the lips early after the procedure is common and usually resolves.
