I have had a lip reduction surgery 2 weeks ago. All the stitches came out and the "wound" filled up with white layer. I am worried that the amount of lip removed just filled in and my lip has gone back to the size it was before. What will happen to my lip?

It is hard to tell if the asymmetry is due to too much swelling on your Right or too much being taken off ob the Left vs. a scar constriction on the left causing the deformity. Before muddying the picture further by the addition of lip filler, I would massage the lip regularly to reduce swelling...
Hello,Lips can be reduced in an office setting. It is done usually under local anesthesia and patients are made quite comfortable. The sutures are placed on the inside portion of the lip to help conceal a scar. Final results are between 3-6 months.

Thank you for your question about your permanent lip filler.Yes, a lip reduction is needed to remove permanent filler.Most plastic surgeons hate doing this - for two reasons.First, several procedures are needed to get an acceptable result.Second most people want to look they way they did before...
