After the lip lift what is the recovery time to eating solid foods? Also, I am performer -- should I figure I have to take a month off from performing to feel comfortable again on stage?

Answer: How long does one need to take off work after a lip lift? The recover from a lip lift is quick, but I usually I ask patient to take off for a week to two weeks if they don't want anyone to know they had the procedure. After two weeks make up could hide the scars. You also want to avoid doing anything that would stretch the lip from the nose. I use deep dissolving sutures, that would keep the skin together after the surface suture are remove by the 6th day after the procedure, but the repair will not be strong until 4 to 6 weeks. This is basic wound healing time that can not be changed. Many patients go to work the next day if they don't mind explaining what they had done or simply tell everyone that they had something removed from the area and that's why they have stitches.

Answer: Upper lip lift Following the upper lip surgery, I tell my patients to eat a normal diet. There is an initial 2-3 days of moderate swelling, but there are no restrictions on types of food to eat. As far as performing, in addition to the swelling, there is some redness beneath the nose that can persist for 4-6 weeks. Of course, after the first week you can hide the incision with make-up. Good luck
