When can I get a Lip Flip (Botox) and Lip Filler after my Lip Lift?

Question

Do I have to wait 3 months?

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

I typically have my patients wait around 3 months.  Most of my patients post lip lift don't end up using botox or filler afterwards since a lip lift can create a fuller lift and lift it much more robustly than filler and/or botox.    If you are still needing volume later on, consider waiting 3 months or even more and choose a skilled injector.  Cheers

Kenneth Brito, MD · Answer

Dear deviii00,
I often advise my patients to wait until the localised swelling settles after surgical lip lift before considering lip fillers/lip flip. This is because sometimes, lip fillers can cause further swelling and lip flip may not be necessarily needed after a surgical lip lift. Transient swelling from lip lift often recede after 2-3 weeks.
Sincerely yours,Drkenbrito

Yes, you will need to wait at least 3 months after the lip lift before getting any filler. Botox could possibly be done sooner if you are healing well.
