Four days after surgery and my lips are still swollen? (photos)

Swelling takes a few weeks to improve and it is common to have swelling of the lips from surgery around the nose.  Speak to your physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

4 days is not unusual for lip swelling.  Think about how much lips swell simply when you accidentally bite it, now realize that you underwent a surgical procedure!  As the swelling goes down,  you will continue to have less and less pain and you will note that you are able to eat more comfortably, your smile will start to feel the same as preop, and so on. it can take 7-10 days or longer depending on the patients for swelling to come down.  You will be back to normal soon.  Best of luck! you will look great I'm sure.

Your swelling is normal and should resolve over the next 7-10 days. Try to be patient and hang in there!
