When can I go back to my regular activities after a lip lift?

Normal means different things

"Back to normal in a few days" and "no downtime" are claims, and each one depends on what "normal" means to the person writing it.

Pin down the words

Quote the claim, then split "regular activities" into pieces: going to work, being seen in public, talking and eating, and exercising. A claim might be true for one of those and silent about the rest. Ask your surgeon to give you an answer for each piece, in writing, for your specific operation.

Comparing two lip lift recovery pages

Read what a hospital system says about lip lift recovery and compare it with their separate page on lip lift surgery. Note whether the two pages use the same wording for the same thing. Mark anything you want your surgeon to confirm against your own plan.

The plan from the surgeon who operated

Recovery plans are set by the surgeon who operated, and that plan overrides anything general you read. None of it is medical advice.
