After my rhinoplasty my upper lip is still stif and partly numb. I considered my philtrum never small, but it enlarged after my surgery. I am afraid that fillers or a lip flip will make my lip unbalanced or unnatural. I wish to have a little lift with a natural result, preferably a non-surgical option. What would you recommend? Thank you in advance!
1 yr ago I underwent a bullhorn lip lift with a muscle plication. 6mm was removed . From the vermillion border to the base of the nares is significantly thickened. It is convex rather than concave. It is also extremely numb. The surgeon has repeatedly injected 5FU and steroids into the incision. No improvement. 1. What caused this? 2. Is there a treatment? 3. Will this get better? Thank you for any advice.
Last year, I had a Lip Lift. Besides removing skin, the doctor removed a strip of my orbicularis oculi (OO) muscle, then sewed the muscle to the bone behind my nose. Now, my upper lip hangs lower than it did before my surgery, and it barely moves and is stiff. I am wondering, if by accident, the doctor cut my depressor septi muscle when he removed a strip of the OO muscle. I can't lift the center of my lip from one philtrum column to the other. The lip is like dead weight and is completely numb. I am very depressed over this. Do you think that I can be helped?
I had a lip lift done 2/2017. My lip is still numb, nerve damage. Its all I think about because Im not happy with the out come. Please help. I live in Morris county New Jersey. I would like to have this done ASAP. But I am very nervous and scared because of the past experience.
Hello, I got a lip lift almost 3 weeks ago. I am still a bit swollen and my upper lip feels stiff/numb. I realise this is fairly normal, but also suspect I am healing slightly slower than average. I am still trying to limit the movements of my mouth when talking/eating/smiling and still follow a soft food diet to avoid chewing. I'm wondering how much longer should I keep following these precautions? I'm conscious that I have some internal sutures which need to heal.
Surgeon did a face/neck lift and recommended a lip lift during which he injected abdominal fat into my inner lip mucosa. I was told the fat would dissipate over time but after 9 months it has not and it is still sore and lumpy and my lips get very sticky red and swollen. I look ok if I don't smile but when I do you can see all these lumps and I look weird and my lips are misshapen. My lips feel numb and stiff a lot of the time. Can I get these clumps removed?
The sutures are still hard and numbed-especially in the middle... And when I smile it's doesn't show all my teeth as before.. Is that ll go after some time or its final result.. Is that normal healing process with lip lift or dr. did something wrong? By the way I don't know which teghnique dr used: muscle hemming or skin...tried to contact him, no reply yet...
