Answer: Lip fillers after lip lift Both lip fillers and a surgical lip lift involve significant swelling for some patients, so you will likely be much more comfortable scheduling these procedures separately. However, your surgeon should be able to recommend the best process for you. Make sure you work with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to ensure your treatment is both safe and successful. Good luck to you!

Answer: Lip lift They can both be done simultaneously. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This does not affect doing fillers, which can be done on the lower lip at the same time. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lip lift Hi,The top lip is severely swollen immediately after a lip lift and it can take several weeks for the swelling to resolve. While there is no real issue with getting filler to the bottom lip immediately before or after the lip lift, it would make for sense to wait until you are healed from surgery to augment the bottom lip.
