Can I wear my retainer 2 days after lip lift/corner lip lift?

Question

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.

Thank-you for your question. I usually ask my patients to wait for 2 weeks before using a retainer, but if it is absolutely necessary,  it can be started sooner . Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon as well as orthodontist who can give you their protocol and advice. All the best!

You should be able to wear a retainer without issue after a lip lift. You may have some swelling in the upper lip region but this will not effect your retainer use or your end results.
