It usually depends on how aggressive the procedure has been and the amount of "lift" you had.

Mineral make up is also very useful to camouflage the area, when a prompt return to normal social activities is required.
Good day! Generally, swelling after a lift lip should subside within 1-2 weeks and tightness should diminish within a few months. How noticeable the result will depend on how your goals looks like. It's better to look enhanced and not totally transformed if you don't want your result to be too noticeable. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and do not hesitate to ask about your concern and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100
