Will lip lift make top lift stiff?

November 17, 2020
Asked By:deedee0423 in California, CA

Hi, I'm a female in m 20s, scheduled for a lip lift but am getting a bit nervous as in a lot of after photos it looks like the top lip is quite stiff. I don't want my face to look frozen when I talk. Is there any chance of that being permanent or will full movement of upper lip come back in time? How long does it take?
