Lip Correction - Aftercare

Depending on the method of treatment used in each case, you can generally return home shortly after the procedure. At the latest, this should be after the anaesthesia has worn off. In the case of larger-scale procedures which require you to be placed in a state of half-sleep, you should not be without an escort. Depending on the method of treatment, swelling should have receded from within 24 hours (injection with collagen) to within a week (lip implants), allowing you to be sociable again within a short amount of time. Redness and a slight sensation of numbness may likewise arise in the first hours/days. In the first hours after the procedure you should cool your lips. You should refrain from smoking for at least a week. The threads used in lip lifting are removed after about a week.⁷

However, aftercare activities depend on your individual situation; please speak about this with your doctor in detail.
