Lip stretching after lip lift. 5 weeks post-op.

February 12, 2017
Asked By:PlainJane58 in Santa Barbara, CA

I have seen comments regarding upper lip "stretching" to help with short upper lips. I had too much removed when I had a lip lift- 8mm removed. I would love to gain some mm. I am now 5 weeks post surgery and have not seen any signs of "dropping". What are the "lip stretching exercises" I have read about on Real Self? When can I start these exercises?

Wound separation after Lip Lift, do I need to suture it again? (photo)
Gary M. Horndeski, MD says:

Thank you for your question and helpful photo. The separation does not require re-suturing. It will need to heal on its own. In the meantime, you will need to care for it until it fully closes. You will be surprised at how well it heals after a few months. If after 6 months or so, you are not ...

Had Lip Lift 10 days ago, I'm concerned about the healing and scarring, is it healing okay? (photo)
