After a lip lift, most patients can start smiling gently within 1-2 weeks, but the timing depends on individual healing progress. Immediately after surgery, swelling and tightness around the incision may make smiling feel restricted or uncomfortable. These symptoms improve significantly as the area heals.By 2-3 weeks, most swelling subsides, and you should feel more comfortable smiling naturally. However, full healing, including the softening of scars and complete resolution of tightness, may take up to 6-12 weeks.Follow your surgeon’s postoperative care instructions closely, including keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous facial movements early on, and attending follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. If you have concerns about tightness or your ability to smile, consult your surgeon for personalized advice.
The timeline for resuming normal facial expressions, such as smiling, after a lip lift can vary depending on individual healing processes and the specifics of the procedure performed. Generally, most patients can start to smile without significant discomfort or risk of compromising their results within 1 to 2 weeks post-surgery. However, it is crucial to follow your surgeon's specific post-operative care instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. If you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon for personalized advice.
A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You are a candidate for a lip lift. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
