Lip filler after (Bullhorn upper) lip lift?

Question

I just had an upper lip lift using the Bullhorn method 11 days ago, and am wondering if it will be safe to get injectible lip fillers in a month? Is this enough time for the lip lift to heal? I loved the way the swelling looked in my lips and over time am feeling less confident as my lips continue to de-swell and get thinner. What is the earliest time this could be done? If possible, is even three weeks too early? Please let me know!! (Thank you!)

In my practice I have patients wait 3-4 months before we add any filler to the lip.  I like to be sure the lip as settled and the swelling has fully subsided.

I typically recommend waiting 3 months after a lip lift before getting lip filler. But I would strongly suggest that you discuss the timing with your lip surgeon.

Hello And thank you for your question.
It’s safe to wait at least six months just for placing seller him to the lips after lip lift her seizure so that the swelling has increased ideal time would be three months after surgery.
But alternatively, you could do maybe half a syringe at six weeks. The the remaining half of the filler material can be refrigerated and injected again at 3months.  
Hope that helps
