What Type of Lip Lift Did I Have?
I had a "sub nasal lip lift" but my scar is like a half circle beneath my nose,down toward my lip. What kind of lip lift did I have? I am not happy with the placement of the scar and I cannot cover it with makeup. The scar is over 7 months old. Can a lip lift be revised. Mine did very little to "lift" my lip.

You had a subnasal lip lift and the scar placement is a little low and that is why it is visible. It should be relatively easy to correct by placing the incision at the base of the nose in a more inconspicuous postion and in essence "re-doing" the lip lift. This would give a little more red lip show, but should settle nicely.

My recommendation: Return to your surgeon and confront him or her with this issue. Returning to your original surgeon accomplishes at least two good things: First, you are most likely to save money getting the problem fixed. If you see another surgeon, you will likely pay in full for a secondary (revision) procedure. Second, your surgeon has the opportunity to see the outcome of his or her surgical procedure. This experience will likely improve his or her...
