“How long does lip lift take to heal?”

Hello, if done via fillers, it’s immediate. If performed surgically, usually 5 days. If you have any further questions or inquiries please visit my website at Drroya.com. Good luck!

Quick healing time, two small incisions at the corners of the mouth.

The initial incision heals in about 7 days. BUT...you probably should give it at least 14 days before you are clear for full normal activity.

Thank you for your question. The healing time after a surgery may vary from person to person. However, in the case of a lip lift, it takes a few weeks to be able to properly see the final result. It is safe to say that around 4-6 weeks the final result may be seen, after the swelling has subsided, and the incision is fully healed. This is a topic to discuss with your treating surgeon. Many factors may contribute to the healing time. Among them, smoking.
