Hi, the lip has nothing to do with the surgery, and during the anaesthesia, there will be a tracheal tube kept through the mouth, and there could be pressure on the lip. it may be cleared in few days, with the drugs using post operatively. If no relief consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
