Recovery for a corner lip lift?

Thank you for your question regarding the recovery process for a corner lip lift compared to a bullhorn lip lift. Here is some information that may help you:

Corner Lip Lift Recovery: The recovery for a corner lip lift is generally considered to be relatively straightforward. This procedure involves small incisions at the corners of the mouth to elevate drooping corners, which can result in a more subtle and less extensive recovery compared to other lip lift techniques.

Comparison to Bullhorn Lip Lift: Since you have already experienced a bullhorn lip lift, you might find the corner lip lift recovery to be somewhat easier. The bullhorn lip lift involves a more extensive incision under the nose, which can result in more swelling and a longer recovery period. In contrast, the corner lip lift typically has less swelling and discomfort, and the incisions are smaller.

Typical Recovery Timeline: For a corner lip lift, you can generally expect some swelling and bruising for the first week, with most patients feeling comfortable returning to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Complete healing and the final results may take a few weeks.

Post-Operative Care: As with any surgical procedure, following your surgeon's post-operative care instructions is crucial for optimal healing. This may include keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous activities, and following a specific skincare routine to support healing.

I hope this information helps. It's always best to discuss your specific concerns and expectations with your plastic surgeon, who can provide personalized advice based on your individual situation.

Best regards,
