Lip lift can be applied to healthy people with local anesthesia or accompanied by a mild sedative called “sedation”. It is a process of approximately 45 minutes. After 1-2 hours of observation after the application, the patient can return home and a slight swelling and tension may be felt in the lip for 3-4 days. In this process, feeding with soft foods and not stretching the operated area will contribute to the healing process.
While laughing and talking for 2 weeks, mild discomfort may occur in the area, but no serious pain is experienced. Stitches heal in as little as 1 week. However, it takes 1-2 months for the mild redness in the area of the wound to go away completely.
