I look like a horse, it has only been 2 days, but I iced my lip for most of the 2 days. I am very self conscious of the way my lip looks...is this just swelling? How long will it take for me to look normal again?
Answer: When Will the Swelling Go Down from Having a Bullhorn Lip Lift? Thank you for your question. The Lip Lift procedure is performed to accentuate the size and/or shape of the upper lip by removing skin from the region just underneath the nose. As the distance is decreased between the nose and the lip, the red lip is 'lifted'. In appropriate individuals, shortening this distance may impart or restore a more favorable balance to lips and face.

Answer: Lip Lift recovery and swelling Good day! Thank you for providing photo with your query. Generally, swelling after a lift lip should subside within 1-2 weeks and tightness should diminish within a few months. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor about your concern or any additional aftercare instructions. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Lip lift Swelling after an upper lip lift is expected. 2 days is early and you will gradually appreciate a reduction in the swelling. Usually patients are seen about 1 week postop at which time your surgeon will evaluate the progress and make sure you are on the right track.

Answer: How long does the swelling last? Hi there and thank you for your question. According to the photo the swelling looks just as you would expect it to be 2 days after surgery. Any swelling in one's face looks scary, but every surgery includes a certain degree of swelling in the healing phase. Usually the swelling peaks about 48hours after you had your operation and starts settling down afterwards. It is important to avoid any increase of blood pressure, i.e. avoid any strenuous exercise, hot showers, coffee or energy drinks, and smoking during the first week after your lip lift. any of these will raise your blood pressure, which not only aggravates the extend and duration of swelling, but it can also increase your risk for bleeding.
