WORTH IT$2,495
Here's what I looked like before permalip, lip lift and filler.
In my opinion I look quite masculine. My lip-nose gap is huge, my top lip is nearly invisible when I smile... so happy I got these procedures. If I had to choose one that made the most difference, it would be the lip lift. It's balanced my face hugely, I look more feminine, and it's rolled out more of my inner lip so it looks bigger too.

I CAN FEEL MY COLUMELLA AGAIN!

3 months post-op and the feeling to the cartilage between my nostrils is returning! It's been very numb but today I softly brushed it with my finger and I got a strange tickling feeling that buzzed through both my nostrils like pins and needles. It's so strange but I'm so happy they haven't severed the nerves forever. I thought "I guess this is the price you pay for a lifted lip", but nope!
My boyfriend is one of THOSE who do eskimo kisses a lot. As my nose was half numb I tended to get carried away and slam his nose with mine like a rhino because i couldn't feel it. Those days will be over in another one or two months I think!

Hi Steph sorry not sure if anyone has already asked this...when you smile with teeth are a lot more teeth exposed than before? Because I want this doing mainly to improve my resting face...when I smile normally my lips rest normally on my teeth but when I proper laugh/ smile my lips go above my teeth flashing a little gum! Just my major concern is that it will make me more gummy when I laugh! [RS bleep]

I would have to say my tooth show is the same! However as I had a lip implant and an inwards curling lip I feel like the lip lift kind of "rolled out" the lip rather than straight-up pulled it up like it would on a normal lip without implant/inward curling problem?... If that makes sense? Hmmm. I think everybody is different! Maybe consider using filler to plump up the lip after a lip lift, in the bottom part of the lip to cover up the gums but also having a nice lifted lip? I'm not sure but i think that's what I'd do! I think gum contouring is a thing too but I have no idea about that at all! [RS bleep]

Hi Steph! Thanks for your help. I think I'll just get the 3 or 4mm taken away - as I only want a tiny bit of distance taken away I'm more concerned about it being 'rolled out' like you say :) Also, I completely forgot to ask. Each time you have fillers now do you still take antibiotics? Because I was told that each time I had filler after the permalip (or if I wanted permanent make up etc round that area), I'd need to take antibiotics for a week! Which just seems like a massive faff to me and is it really necessary?! [RS bleep]

Hey! Do you have a better before photo? It's hard to tell what your lips looked like before with the one you posted. Thanks

Scars
Gemma1988April 28, 2014
I am extremely happy with how this is healing. My scars are barely even visible, even in pure daylight. My lip has been lifted so wonderfully that it was physically hard for me to try and pull my lip down to show the scar in the first photo!
Also somebody asked about mouth corners being affected by the lip lift - as far as I know lip lifts don't affect the mouth corners at all and mine haven't changed a bit.
I still really like my lips since the lip lift. I would consider topping up with a little filler before I go on holiday in June as I expect my February filler will wear off a little before then, but the shape and height are perfect for me.
