How long after a lip lift should you wait before you do an alar base reduction?

Question

A lip lift & alar base reduction share the same incision line/cut so if you can't get the two procedures done together, how long should you wait before getting the alar base reduction?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

It's advisable to wait approximately 3 to 6 months after a lip lift before considering an alar base reduction. This timeframe allows for adequate healing and stabilization of the tissues involved in the initial procedure. Since both surgeries can share the same incision line, allowing sufficient time for recovery helps to minimize complications and achieve optimal results. However, individual healing rates can vary, so it's essential to consult with your surgeon to tailor the timing to your specific needs and ensure the best possible outcome.
