How much does lip reduction surgery hurt?

Question

i want to get a lip reduction surgery,and i wanna know how much pain it will be.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

Many patients take pain medication for only one day after the procedure and some do not even need that. Patients that take pain medication typically stick to Tylenol or Advil.

David A. F. Ellis, MD · Answer

If one lip is done, then there is minimal pain. Extra strength Tylenol usually works. The lip is swollen and stiff so that impaired movement is the most often complaint.However, when upper + lower lip reduction is performed then the swelling of lips, the appearance, and stiffness make the pain more severe so I prescribe Tylenol #3 or Tramacet

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Most lip reduction patients take pain meds for just 1 day then they either don't need anything or just take advil. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Surprisingly, many patients claim that they didn't need their pain relievers after their lip reduction surgery, however, they are always given routinely.

Sheldon S. Kabaker, MD FACS (retired) · Answer

Although the lips are very sensitive and pain levels after any type of surgery varies from person to person, lip surgeries have always surprised me at how comfortable most  patients  are after lip altering surgery.
