I finished orthodontics 6 months ago and wear retainers every night. I am interested in a lip lift, but wondered if I can wear my retainers after 2 days post procedure? Also, same question for a corner lip lift too.

At least from the photos provided, there appears to be a hypertrophic (elevated) scar in the very center. This can usually be easily flattened with an intralesional injection of an anti-inflammatory agent, such as triamcinolone in the appropriate concentration and amount. I have found silicone...
