Edit What’s the downtime like for a lip lift?

<p><strong>What’s the downtime like?</strong></p> <p>As it’s under local anaesthetic you can be out of the operating room and heading home almost as soon as the procedure is finished. Your stitches will get removed after a week. You might want to take 10 days to 2 weeks off work. Once the stitches are out, and the incision is looking closed, you can hide the scar with a concealer.</p> <p>The main side effects seem to be mild scabbing and swelling as the incision settles down. Patients often recall it’s a bit like having a thick lip - a similar sensation after you’ve been to the dentist. Swelling is usually completely gone after 3 weeks. Some people do bruise, but it’s luck of the draw on that one. Again, it’ll usually disappear after a couple of weeks. I normally advise patients to drink from a straw for a couple of weeks post-surgery, but other than that, it’s a fairly straightforward procedure with minimal downtime/impact on everyday life during recovery.</p>
