Doctor Recommendations for Gullwing Lip Lift Scar Revision

Had a gullwing lip lift 2 years ago, the surgeon made the incision 2 millimetres above the lip line boarder, now i'm left with a nasty indented visual scar that runs along above my top lip. Im looking for a surgeon that has experience with this kind of revision and could excise the scar and re preform the surgery.. I would be so grateful for any recommendations, I am willing to travel anywhere.

A: Revision of gullwing incision

That incision placement sounds unconventional, and may limit your options right now.  It's possible that your best solution is not just revision, but laser dermabrasion as well.  However your surgeon would need to see you to discuss such an approach.

I also agree that any respected plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon in your area would be able to address this for you.

Lip Lift Side Effects and Scars

I had a lip lift augmentation 2 years ago and my scars around the (outside) border of my lips (top and bottom) feel hard, stiff, tight and very uncomfortable. They also burn, and my lips are very sensitive from the scars. I hate speaking/talking because it is soo uncomfortable. Is there anything that I can do to make my lips feel soft and settle the pain and sensitivity?  Getting this kind of lip lift was the worse mistake I have have ever made in my life.

A: Steroid injections are still an option 2 years later

The incisions may have healed with a hypertrophic component, causing scar sensitivity, buildup, and tethering.  Even though your surgery was year ago, a steroid injection with a product called kenalog may help to soften the scars once more.  My experience also has shown it to be independantly effective in decreasing the sensitivity too.  Mke sure you follow up with your surgeon to aid in your recovery.
