Why were lips very swollen after SMAS facelift and now 9 months later they appear very small and flat. When trying to smile lips get thin and turn rather inwards than outwards. There was some puncture marks around lips after the procedure. I thought mouth area is not part of SMAS fl. What can be causing this problem? I thought only possibility was that lips would appear little better looking after facelift and not the opposite...

Answer: Does SMAS facelift affect lips? A SMAS facelift would not normally have any effect on the lips. I would discuss your concern with your surgeon to try and determine what might be causing your issue after your surgery. It is possible that another procedure was done on your lips at the same time.

Answer: Does SMAS facelift have an effect on lips? Can it make them smaller? Hi, I have performed facelifts for over 30 years and have performed many minimally, invasive SMAS facelifts. You are correct that a SMAS facelift by itself would not affect or impact the lips in any manner. You might want to ask your Facelift Surgeon what was done to your lips during the procedure especially since you see needle or puncture marks by the lips. If you had fat injected during your facelift, this might have been used on your lips.Hope this helps.
