Deformed smile after lip lift?

Question

Had lip lift 3 weeks ago, my smile is deformed at this point...Is it just temporary?...Will I be able to smile as prior the surgery

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Scars form for over 6 weeks after surgery before they soften. It is still too early. Given it at least 3 months before drawing any final conclusions

Philip Solomon, MD, FRCS · Answer

There is swelling and the lip may not have normal mobility at 3 weeks post op. If your surgeon excised muscle the lip mobility can take longer to recover.  See  your surgeon in followup to ensure you are healing well.
