9 months post op and still experiencing delayed healing - what can be done at this point? (photo)

Phenomenal212079Dec 3, 2024
Its been about 9 months since ive had lip reduction surgery and it doesn't seem to be healing properly. Ive gone back to the surgeon who done it and he gave me a couple of steroid shots in my lip but it doesnt seem to help much. Also you can still see the scar which is no longer on the inside of my lip. What should I do?

So sorry you are having these issues. It appears from your photos that your best option would be revision of your lip reduction to improve asymmetry and remove any residual silicone present. The procedure may be done under local anesthesia. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area...

Thank you for your query. Both upper and lower lips can be reduced in proportion. This can be done to the extent you desire. Please make sure that it is not overdone as some volume reduction happens with age. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help...

Your lips look fine. People appreciate full lips. Nothing to worry about. Remember, that differences from others can sometimes be better and not worse.
