There is only a short downtime involved in a lip lift procedure. We strongly recommend resting for 24 hours after surgery and avoiding strenuous exercise and smoking in the following weeks. If you smoke, we strongly urge you to quit ahead of your lift lip surgery.
We recommend taking extra care around the lip area by avoiding sleeping on your face and avoiding opening your mouth too wide. Using a toothbrush with a smaller head will help.
You should be able to return to normal day-to-day activities in about seven days after surgery.
