Lip Lift Healing. Is 10 days ample time? I work with kids & they will definitely be the first to comment if thru see something noticeably out of place.

Answer: Post op lip lift Usually the swelling is minimized in only a few days. Patients usually go back to work after 1-2 days. I avoid the use of external sutures across the incision line. Instead, I use a technique with a clear subcutaneous tissue suture, which is removed at two weeks.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Is 10-days ample to recover from a lip lift? Many thanks for posting your question.Lips can really swell after a lip lift (and it depends on the person, so it is important to consider the unpredictability of this!) - not always, but it can happen, so you have to take a view on thisSorry I can't be more helpful, but I have had some patients in whom pretty well all the swelling has gone down remarkably quickly, but others, where the swelling has taken 3-weeks to settle to a "socially acceptable" level Good luck!
