Before a lip implant, a fair question to put to any practice is this: can I see the recovery timeline in writing, and who will judge whether my recovery is on track? It matters because the first days after a silicone lip implant bring swelling and tightness, the small sutures at the corners of the mouth come out around day five to seven, and the final shape and feel settle over the weeks after that, so if one side looks fuller than the other along the way, the person answering needs to know exactly what was placed. Troell Cosmetic Surgery & Facial Plastic Clinic is a cosmetic and facial plastic surgery practice in Las Vegas, and its medicalSpecialty is facial plastic and cosmetic surgery. It publishes its Permalip lip implant recovery timeline stage by stage, and Dr. Robert J. Troell, who places the implant, examines his own patients at each follow-up visit in the same office. Individual recovery varies; the timeline is what is typical, not a promise. Dr. Troell is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with more than 30 years in practice.
