Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

A lip lift is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the shape and volume of the lips. While the initial results can be quite dramatic, it's important to note that the final results can take up to a year to fully manifest due to the natural healing process.
Over time, some of the initial lift may lessen as the tissues settle and swelling subsides. While the majority of the lift should be permanent, some individuals may experience a slight "drop" or decrease in the perceived lift. This can be due to a variety of factors including individual healing response, skin elasticity, and the technique used in the procedure.
If you feel that your results have significantly changed, it would be best to discuss this with your surgeon. They can assess your current state and discuss possible reasons for the changes you've perceived. In some cases, a revision or additional procedure may be recommended to achieve your desired results.
Remember, every individual's body responds differently to surgery and healing, so it's important to have realistic expectations and to communicate openly with your surgeon.
