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

Question

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?

Thank you for your question. It is important that you follow the post op recovery instructions provided by your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Each surgeon may differ in the instructions they provide because each patient differs in their unique health profile, procedure, and recovery needs. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,
