Considering a lip lift while taking a GLP-1 medicine? Use the consultation to define your goal.

1. What would surgery change?

A lip lift shortens the distance between nose and upper lip. Ask how that fits your anatomy. [1]

2. What should I bring?

Bring medical conditions, allergies, medicines, supplements and previous surgery details. Cleveland Clinic includes these in consultation planning. [2]

3. Where will the scar sit?

Incision placement varies by technique. Visible permanent scarring is possible; ask to see the proposed incision location. [1]

4. Which complications matter?

Risks include infection, nerve damage, uneven lips and persistent swelling. Discuss how complications would be managed. [1]

5. What support will I need?

Request your care plan for meals, incision care and activity. Ask who to contact with concerns after surgery. [1]
