No procedure is without risks and complications. The main concerns after a lip lift would be:

• Infection:
  Signs of infection include increased redness, swelling, and discharge. Contact your surgeon if you notice any of these symptoms.
• Asymmetry:
  Minor asymmetry may occur, which can often be corrected with a minor revision.
• Scarring:
  Although every effort is made to minimise scarring, some patients may experience noticeable scars.

In order to reduce the risks, it is important to choose a trusted provider and always follow all aftercare directions.
