Hello, the degree of pain depends on the extent of the surgical repair. Most often it is not that painful require light pain medication for 2-3 days. For further inquiries or questions, you may want to visit my website at DrRoyamd@aol.com. Good Luck!!!!
Usually, if the scar is painless the post operative pain, after the first 1-2 days is minimal.
Hello,

There's no pain after the procedure.
It depends on a number of factors, most notably is the size and location of the scar and how extensive of a procedure is being proposed.
Typically, this is an area that can be quite sensitive because of the number of sensory nerves to the lips.
