Overview
Anyone opting for a lip cosmetic surgery should set a reasonable expectation from the procedure apart from being both mentally and physically healthy.
- Adults of any age are eligible for lip plastic surgery
- People, who have naturally thin lips or have experienced an age-related decrease in the volume of lips, usually opt for lip surgery
People who have the following conditions are not the right candidates for a lip enhancement surgery:
- Suffering from oral herpes (cold sores)
- Diabetic condition
- Blood clot problems
- Lupus (happens when the immune system attacks its tissues)
The surgeon usually provides the patient with pre-operative instructions that will help in carrying out the procedure easily. The patients will be advised to stop taking certain herbs, vitamins and medications a few weeks before the surgery. The surgeon may want to conduct a few tests to have a clear idea about patient’s health.
Recovery time usually ranges from a few days to a few weeks. Patients are advised to follow the surgeon’s guidelines for a fruit fulhealing process to keep the surgical area away from complications. Furthermore, patients should expect a little pain and keep themselves away from aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications as they may interfere with the prescribed medications. Also, the patients are advised to avoid using lip products for a few days after the procedure.

There are no significant risks involved with lip cosmetic surgery. However, there are many side-effects that one may experience. The side-effects include:
- Bruising and swelling
- Tenderness at the injection site
- Bleeding from the injection site
- Stiffening and scarring of the lip (few days)
- Nerve damage
- Result can be temporary or long lasting depending on the technique used.
It is advisable to seek medical attention if one develops severe fever and experiences extreme swelling in and around the lips.
Every lip surgery ends with a successful aftercare. A One-on-one conversation with the surgeon helps the patient have a good control over the recovery process. Questions to ask the surgeon should be:
- How much time does the recovery process take?
- What medications will be prescribed?
- When will the stitches (if any) be removed?
- Will there be any diet-related restrictions?
- When should you come back for follow-up care?
- How long my results will last?
