Antibiotics may be given to reduce the possibility of infection. To help avoid infection, it is also important to keep the lips clean.

Grafting also may leave the lips feeling unnaturally stiff for 2 to 3 months after the procedure. Any non-dissolving stitches may be removed about 7-10 days after the procedure.
