LIP LIFT RECOVERY: How much (in mm) can the philtrum can drop after the procedure? I think too much skin has been taken!

Thank you for your question. Usually it takes up to 4 to 6 weeks for the upper lip to be totally settled and therefore I would not be concerned yet. If you only had your lip lift 7 days ago, you are probably due to see your surgeon shortly and he/she will be able to reassure you. Posting the photos would be helpful as well.All the best.Andrea Marando

Thank you for your question. You are too early in your recovery process to evaluate your results. At this point, the most important contribution you can make to a successful surgery is to follow your surgeon's post op care instructions. Please feel free to contact your board certified facial plastic surgeon to review your recovery care. 

Best wishes,

Expect the swelling to last for a few weeks.  It will be a while before you see the final result. It would be helpful to see your before and after photos to make suggestions.
