Your Cheiloplasty Consultation

At Impressions Face + Body, we understand that your lips play a central role in defining your facial features. That’s why we collaborate closely with you to create a surgical treatment plan that aligns with your desires. Our initial consultation involves a thorough discussion of your aesthetic goals, a review of your medical history, and the development of a personalized plan. We recognize that each person’s aesthetic journey is unique, and our commitment is to respect and fulfill your vision for your lips and overall appearance.

How to Prepare for Your Cheiloplasty

Appropriate preparations for cheiloplasty are vital for the procedure’s overall success. Preoperative medical evaluations and adjustments may be necessary, as well as seizing smoking and avoiding alcohol in the days leading up to the procedure. Staying well hydrated is essential, and arrangements for a friend or family member to accompany you on your surgery day should be made for transportation. Our team of specialists will guide you through any necessary preparations and is happy to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.

During Your Cheiloplasty Procedure

With years of experience and extensive expertise, the day of your cheiloplasty is a transformative experience. Before the outpatient procedure, an anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort and eliminate any pain. The surgery is a precise and customized process, focusing on your unique concerns with minimal disruption. Typically, cheiloplasty takes about an hour to complete. This efficient and personalized approach is designed to provide you with the results you desire.

Cheiloplasty Aftercare & Recovery Timeline

Recovery from cheiloplasty is a personal journey, and our primary goal is your comfort and well-being. We'll provide attentive post-operative monitoring, along with thorough guidance on lip care, potential complications, medication management, and scheduling follow-up appointments.

In the initial 24-48 hours, it's common to experience some swelling. Icing and keeping your head elevated can help alleviate this. We'll also guide you on medications to manage any discomfort or prevent potential infections. It's crucial to initially limit certain activities and facial movements to ensure optimal healing.

Remember, everyone's healing process is different. While many patients return to their daily routines within a few days, your recovery might differ. Regardless of the timeline, our committed team will be by your side, supporting you at every stage.

Am I a Good Candidate for Cheiloplasty?

Cheiloplasty is suitable for those seeking lip enhancement, reduction, or reconstruction. Good candidates have realistic expectations about transformations in size and symmetry of the lips and are generally in good overall health.

Cheiloplasty Benefits

Enhanced lip size, shape, symmetry, and correction of congenital defects or trauma are just some of the benefits of cheiloplasty. Personalized lip rejuvenation can boost your confidence, self-esteem, and appreciation of your inherent beauty. Cheiloplasty provides natural-looking results and restores facial harmony.

Cheiloplasty Risks

Any surgical procedure carries certain risks, including slight scarring, adverse reactions to anesthesia, or unsatisfactory results. For example, cheiloplasty surgery, such as cleft lip and cleft palate repair, may cause complications, including damage to deeper structures (nerves, blood vessels), infection, and poor healing.

While uncommon, it’s important to consider the risks. Choosing a team of specialists with extensive expertise in cheiloplasty can greatly reduce any surgical complications. At Impressions, we provide you with full transparency before undergoing any procedure, and our 50,000 satisfied patients are a testimony to our excellence.

How much does cheiloplasty (lip surgery) cost in Chicago?

Please schedule a consultation with our friendly team to obtain an accurate estimate of cheiloplasty costs. Our specialists will determine the best treatment strategy suited to your aesthetic goals and provide a detailed outline of associated costs.

How painful is cheiloplasty?

During the procedure, administered anesthesia reduces discomfort, ensuring a pain-free surgical procedure. However, cheiloplasty, like many surgical procedures, involves some discomfort and swelling post-procedure. The pain level can vary between individuals but is typically manageable with pain medication our dedicated team prescribes. Most individuals find the discomfort temporary and improve within a few days.

How long do cheiloplasty results last?

Generally, cheiloplasty results can be long-lasting, often for several years or more. However, factors like aging, lifestyle, and sun exposure can influence the longevity of the results. To maintain the results, some individuals opt for touch-up procedures. At Impressions Face + Body, you will receive a personalized maintenance plan.

What procedures pair well with a cheiloplasty?

Our team at Impressions is committed to providing you with an aesthetic treatment plan that allows you to uniquely express your innate beauty. Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can complement cheiloplasty by crafting harmonious facial features.
