Lip Flip recovery timeline: what to expect week by week
You can usually fly home the same or next day with your doctor's approval after an uncomplicated case. You can usually return to desk work the same or next day, though minor redness or swelling may briefly remain. Strenuous exercise is usually avoided for about 24 hours, while light activity is usually fine sooner. The final result develops over 8–15 days.
First hours to 1 day
If your case is uncomplicated, you can usually fly home the same or next day with your doctor's approval. Mild redness, small bumps, or swelling may appear. Avoid rubbing or massaging the area, and strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.
Days 3–14
Your upper lip starts to relax and turn outward, with the full effect developing at about 2 weeks. You may temporarily find straws or certain sounds difficult.
Weeks 6–12
The effect gradually wears off as muscle activity returns.
When to contact your clinic: Seek emergency help for difficulty breathing. Contact your clinic if you have trouble swallowing or talking, or weakness beyond your lip. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.
