Wound separation after Lip Lift, do I need to suture it again? (photo)

Question

What is your suggestion for this type of wound separation? Do I need to suture it again? If yes, will it effect my final result? Will my lip swell after the sutures ? Kindly thank anyone who responds to this.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and helpful photo. The separation does not require re-suturing. It will need to heal on its own. In the meantime, you will need to care for it until it fully closes. You will be surprised at how well it heals after a few months. If after 6 months or so, you are not happy with the scar, it may be revised at that time. The longer you wait, however, the better your result after revision will be. Best wishes and kind regards,
