Post-Philtrum Reduction and Lip Corner Surgery Precautions

  • 01
    Please remove the gauze attached to the surgical site yourself the day after surgery.
  • 02
    Please apply the prescribed antibiotic eye ointment to the surgical site using a clean cotton swab until the stitches are removed. Even after stitches are removed, you may experience discomfort during the recovery process; please do not scratch the area and manage it by applying the eye ointment.
  • 03
    You may brush your teeth even while the stitches are in, but please avoid opening your mouth wide or brushing vigorously. (Oral hygiene management)
    To protect the surgical site, please apply a thin layer of antibiotic eye ointment before brushing your teeth, and apply it again after brushing to prevent dryness.
  • 04
    While simple washing with water is possible until the stitches are removed, it is best to be careful to avoid contact with water as much as possible.
    Please proceed cautiously with the use of cleanser and light makeup (skincare, foundation) starting the day after stitch removal.
  • 05
    Bruising and swelling usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, but residual swelling may last for 1 to 3 months or longer.
  • 06
    It is recommended to consistently apply scar ointment for 3 to 6 months after the stitches are removed.
  • 07
    To prevent inflammation at the surgical site, drinking alcohol, smoking, saunas, steam rooms, gyms, and strenuous exercise are permitted one month after surgery.
