It is important to disclose your medical history, including any previous cold sore outbreaks, to your surgeon during the consultation. Having a history of cold sores does not necessarily exclude you from undergoing a Lip Lift, but it is a factor that needs to be considered. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, which can potentially be activated during and after surgery. To minimize the risk of an outbreak, your surgeon may recommend antiviral medications prior to and after the procedure. It is important to follow their instructions closely to help prevent cold sore recurrence. By taking proper precautions and working closely with your surgeon, you can minimize the risk of complications and have a successful Lip Lift procedure.
