Persistent swelling after a scarless lip lift. How can I treat this? (Photo)

It's understandable to feel concerned about persistent swelling after a scarless lip lift. Given that the swelling has persisted for 16 months and previous interventions have not resolved the issue, it may be beneficial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in post-surgical complications.

The "bubble" you are describing could potentially be a seroma or another type of tissue reaction. Surgical removal might be an option, but it's important to have a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of the swelling. Consider seeking a second opinion to explore all possible treatment options, which may include surgical intervention or other less invasive techniques. Additionally, ensure that any specialist you consult has experience with lip surgeries and managing complications.

Remember to discuss all potential risks and benefits of further surgery with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals and health needs.
