Heart-shaped lip augmentation is a very popular beauty trend, but performing it at unlicensed facilities has led to many dangerous complications. Failed heart-shaped lip augmentation surgery destroys facial harmony and leaves deep psychological and health damage. So how can you recognize the signs of botched lip augmentation and what are the safest and most effective solutions? Dr Xuan Quan Clinic will answer all your questions in the article below!
Signs of Failed Heart-Shaped Lip Augmentation Surgery
If you notice the following unusual signs after surgery, your lips may have been botched or have complications:
- Upturned lips, exposed teeth: The doctor removed too much muscle tissue, causing the upper lip to be pulled upwards, exposing the front teeth even when the mouth is closed normally.
- Uneven, asymmetrical lip shape: The two sides of the lips are not cut evenly, the V-shaped peak is lệch to one side, or the lower lip is distorted and aesthetically unappealing.
- Raised or contracted scars on the lips: Poor wound closure techniques result in the formation of hard, contracted scar tissue along the lip contour.
- Prolonged infection and pus formation: Severe swelling, constant pain, and pus discharge in the lip area due to non-sterile surgical procedures.
Causes of Failed Heart-Shaped Lip Surgery
Complications after lip augmentation surgery do not occur randomly but stem from the following main causes:
- Poor surgeon’s skill: The surgeon lacks expertise, makes incorrect measurements, or dissects too deeply, leading to excessive removal of muscle tissue in the lip area.
- Performed at unlicensed facilities: Beauty treatments at unlicensed spas or cosmetic clinics that do not ensure sterile operating rooms can cause wound infection.
- Use of poor-quality sutures: Using non-medically approved suture materials can easily cause wound irritation, suture detachment, or the formation of hard keloid scars.
- Incorrect post-operative care: Patients do not follow the doctor’s hygiene instructions, frequently touch the wound, or do not avoid foods that cause swelling, bruising, or pus formation.
Can a botched heart-shaped lip surgery be corrected? How long does it take to correct?
According to Dr. Xuan Quan, if you unfortunately experience complications after surgery, you can rest assured that the following answers will help resolve them:
Can a botched heart-shaped lip surgery be corrected?
Yes, it is completely correctable. The doctor will apply advanced reconstruction techniques such as releasing contracture scars, autologous tissue grafting, or skin flap transfer to fill the deficiencies, restoring a full and naturally closed lip shape.
How long does it take to correct?
The appropriate time is 3-6 months after the failed surgery. This is the necessary time for the lip tissue structure to recover, the scar to stabilize and soften completely, ensuring a safe and effective corrective surgery.
