I went for a lip lift 7 days ago and have had my sutures out and I am not prepared how it made me nose look different. Either he removed too much skin or something but my nostrils and nose is huge... Please advise me I am scared I have ruined my face
Answer: Swelling after #LipLift Hi @BrigetteLAThis appears to be normal postoperative swelling. The swelling peaks at 3 days and 80% is gone by 2 weeks. Each day you should look better and better. Keep a low salt and low carbohydrate diet and drink plenty of water. At two weeks you may also want to start a lymphatic massage to reduce swelling.Best of Luck,

Answer: Lip Lift affected the shape of your nose Hi there and thank you for your Question and the helpful photos. It appears to be a very early stage after surgery. Inflammatory Reaction is the second stage of every wound healing cycle. It is a natural part of the healing process that is accompanied with redness and swelling. The swelling can also affect adjacent tissue, which might be the reason, why the shape of your nose has changed. Discuss with your doctor the application of an ointment twice a day on your scar. This will reduce the surface tension and hereby accelerate healing and improve overall scar appearance. Good luck!
