I got an upper lip lift 9th of January 2017, I'll remove the stitches in a few days, but I'm concerned about the healing and what is going on with the scar. Would appreciate any comment about the picture I upload.

Answer: Lip lift incision healing Thank you for the question and photos. I do not see wound separation or an infection so the incisions area healing well from that standpoint from what I can see. Each surgeon has his or her own way of doing things so the time for suture removal may be based on that. If you had internal sutures as well the outer sutures would have been removed at 4-5 days after surgery based on my preferences. Good luck with the remainder of your healing.Dr. Remus Repta
